Los Desechos Sólidosy la Economía Circular

12/9/2019

Actualmente, el Congreso de la República Dominicano está analizando una versión del Proyecto de Ley de Gestión Integral de Residuos y Coprocesamiento.

La Isla de Plástico, el documental largometraje de Cacique Films, que muestra la compleja realidad de los desechos sólidos en la República Dominicana. Nos presenta, con imágenes alarmantes, un vertedero encendido que arroja un humo apocalíptico, mientras un ejército de “buzos” se ahondan en la basura en búsqueda de materiales. Una tortuga marina lucha por cruzar la basura en la playa para poner sus huevos. Sin embargo, esas imágenes inquietantes solas no garantizan una solución al problema. En los últimos años, criticar al plástico se ha convertido en una tendencia internacional.

Sin embargo, el problema fundamental no es el plástico, sino nuestra cultura desechable. No vale criticar únicamente a los plásticos de uso único, sino todos los productos de uso único. Tenemos que reemplazar todos los materiales y productos desechables: desechos orgánicos, cartón, papel, vidrio, metal, plástico, textiles, ropa, electrónicos y electrodomésticos.

En vez de una sociedad desechable, la meta nacional de República Dominicana tiene que ser una “Economía Circular,” un sistema económico que elimine el desperdicio y la explotación continua de los recursos. Imitando a la naturaleza, la económica circular valoriza cada material, transformándolo en un producto nuevo con una vida útil continua. Esa solución integral requiere la integración del sector público, privado y la ciudanía en general. En particular, el Gobierno dominicano juega un papel fundamental para estructurar soluciones. Primero, el Estado puede incentivar fiscalmente a la inversión privada en tecnologías, procesos y negocios que transformen residuos existentes en otros productos. Por ejemplo, nuevos incentivos motivarían a nuevos proyectos de conversión de residuos a energía eléctrica.

When Environmental Protection Pays Dividends: The case of Puntacana Resort & Club

In September 2017, our entire company was tracking the storm path of Hurricane Irma. Already a category 5 storm, it was barreling through the Caribbean and headed straight towards the Dominican Republic. Our resort, Puntacana Resort & Club, on the eastern end of the island, was at risk and we feverishly prepared for the storm.

Luckily for us, Irma took a last-minute turn to the north, barely missing Punta Cana. Our property had only light damage, a few fallen trees and a couple of days of rain. We had electricity throughout the storm and the Puntacana International Airport operated without interruption.

The British Virgin Islands, Saint Maarten, Puerto Rico, and other islands were less fortunate, suffering catastrophic damage to homes, hotels and public infrastructure and producing many casualties. Just two weeks later, Hurricane Maria, another major storm, inflicted more damage on Dominica, the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. As it turns out, the 2017 hurricane season, which included the impacts of Hurricane Harvey, was the costliest hurricane season in history, causing an estimated quarter of a trillion dollars in damage.
