Diseño del sistema de recuperación de basura flotante para ríos que contaminan la Isla Puná.

Abstract

The pollution produced by the waste of plastic in water systems has become a frequent problem in countries around the world, this problem has promoted projects that promote, through floating garbage recovery systems, the reduction of the environmental impact produced by these materials. that have a degradation time of one hundred years and produce risks to human health by breaking down into microplastics. Based on this, a proposal will be made for a floating garbage recovery system for the rivers that pollute the Puná island, through the operation of a cooperative that will work using the concepts of the circular economy, which will be scalable for the various rivers that are found in the lower Guayas basin where around 5.6 million inhabitants live, producing an approximate amount of 6 million kilograms of garbage daily. The floating garbage ends up dragged by the flow of the rivers that make up the lower Guayas basin, which accumulates and crosses several cantons and enclosures until it reaches the Guayas River where it is carried through the Gulf of Guayaquil to the Puná island.
