Estudio de viabilidad para crear una empresa productora de ladrillos en el corregimiento el Cabuyal del municipio de Candelaria en el Depto. del Valle del Cauca

Abstract

In all countries of the world there is great concern for the preservation of the environment and the deficient disposal of solid waste produced by the productive sectors identified as the main responsible for environmental deterioration. Alternatives are sought that seek to mitigate the ecological damage that is being done to the planet and resort to different mechanisms, hoping to solve this situation. The big pollutants of the planet are the industrial companies that do it through emissions of gases that produce at the moment of the industrial process or by the waste that they originate and that are discharged into the water or into the air. The production of brick is one of the most polluting because in its production it uses a lot of coal and materials like tires to generate energy the operation of the kilns in which the bricks are cooked. This project aimed to design and develop brick blocks with the addition of recycled PET-type plastics, using recycled material from solid waste generated in the same rural areas (bottles and other plastic waste), materials required as an input for the manufacture of bricks; We wanted to develop an alternative of reuse and use of plastic containers, in order to make possible the implementation of a new product resistant with recycled material, looking for communities to live in the short future in harmony with nature. This project seeks to create awareness in the community of the use of this type of material for construction, since they have the following benefits: Technological: develop light construction components, suitable for them to fulfill the function of lateral enclosure of homes. Ecological: it helps the decontamination of the environment. Economic: lower costs in the production of elements for the construction of social interest housing. Social: Plastics recycled materials are used as raw material, promoting the rational use of available resources instead of burying them, burning them or accumulating them in outdoor garbage dumps.
