From the definition of the first global guidelines on environmentally sound management of solid waste in Rio de Janeiro 1992, the signatories undertook to initiate a management process that goes beyond the simple elimination. Colombia no stranger to this group developed a comprehensive legal framework that requires municipalities and large generators to perform integrated management of solid waste materialized through plan or program of Integrated Management of Solid Waste. Gorgona National Natural Park as a major generator of solid waste must have an instrument to guide the most appropriate way to handle them, beyond fulfilling the standards for environmental responsibility, and social health. The design of this program part of the realization of a diagnosis of each of the aspects relevant to the topic (generation, composition, management at source, collection, transport and intermediate storage, handling and final environmental impact assessment, and harvesting practices or recycling), and thus have a reading of the current management of waste in the Gorgona National Natural Park. Subsequently we conducted a SWOT analysis to identify weaknesses, opportunities, strengths and threats facing the solid waste management. Then identified and selected the best options to manage waste in the park in question, by identifying five factors (environmental, sociocultural, economic, regulatory, technical and operational), which had a weighting according to their order of relevance for the study. Finally, the program is structured to Integrated Solid Waste Management for National Natural Park Gorgona from four strategic lines with their respective projects and activities that seek to diminish the ecological footprint through closing cycles, recovery and utilization under criteria environmental sustainability with a Contingency Plan.
El manejo de los residuos es un proceso complejo; complejidad que radica en las múltiples dimensiones que están involucradas y que comprenden desde aspectos institucionales, económicos, tecnológicos, ambientales, territoriales, sociales, políticos y culturales. Dicha complejidad, se enfrenta además a patrones de producción y consumo que tienden a privilegiar la generación cada vez mayor de residuos sólidos y cuyas causas principales son el proceso de crecimiento, las características físicas del país y la distribución de la población, el modelo de consumo de la sociedad y la existencia de deficiencias institucionales, reglamentarias, de fiscalización y gestión. Un manejo y gestión eficiente y eficaz de residuos debe considerar como primer propósito evitar la generación de los mismos, en caso de no ser posible, procurar la minimización en su producción, es decir, reducir su cantidad, promover su reutilización y reciclar. Si la minimización de residuos no funciona de manera apropiada, entonces se debe intervenir mediante el tratamiento de los mismos y cuando el tratamiento ya no sea la solución, se debe proceder a pensar en la disposición final que esos residuos requieren. La actividad humana genera residuos en todas partes, por esta razón, los residuos que se visualizan en las áreas naturales protegidas del país son un problema que afecta y contradice los fines de las mismas. De esta forma, en el contexto de un Parque Nacional, el problema es evidente, debido a que por definición éste es un lugar que no debe alterarse significativamente por la acción humana, ya que representa un ambiente único de la diversidad ecológica natural.
