Abstract

Recycling as a form of material recovery in Peru is increasing every year; tens of thousands of recyclers participate and benefit, either formally, which is the lowest percentage, or through informal recovery. Both forms of healing make it possible for waste to be valued and maintain its circularity to contribute to the circular economy. Formally, there are already legal regulations that encourage segregation programs in municipalities, and it is through principles, guidelines, roles, and competencies that oblige to segregate waste at the source of generation and a roadmap to migrate from a linear economy to a circular where sustainability is promoted from the extraction of the raw material, through the different processes to the recovery of the materials.
