The circular economy is gaining greater importance within business strategies in Peru.
A recent example is the growth of business models dedicated to managing corporate waste and transforming it back into usable resources.
From Waste to Resource
The circular economy seeks to move away from the traditional “produce, use, and dispose” model.
Instead, it focuses on recovering materials, extending their useful life, and reincorporating them into new production processes.
For companies, this can represent an opportunity to reduce waste and improve their environmental performance metrics.
What does this mean for a company?
A waste management strategy may include:
- Waste assessment.
- Source separation.
- Collection.
- Recycling.
- Traceability.
- Material recovery.
- Employee training.
- Reporting of environmental indicators.
A trend that also impacts the legal department
Companies should not view sustainability solely as a marketing initiative.
Environmental management may also involve regulatory obligations, contracts with operators, documentation, traceability, and corporate responsibilities.
Therefore, the sustainability strategy should be coordinated with the legal, financial, and operational departments.
