Does it make sense to educate about recycling solid wastes and not doing it? The case of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú

Abstract

Nowadays, inadequate solid waste management is an ongoing problem of modern societies, as it involves health and environmental risks as well as economic losses. The PUCP is one example where solid waste disposal is not quite right; but there are a number of alternatives that could be implemented to take advantage of this waste and generate new benefits.
