综合废物管理系统是可持续发展面临的最大挑战之一。为使这些系统取得成功，第一步是开展废物特性研究。本文报告了下加利福尼亚自治大学（UABC）墨西卡利I校区进行的废物特性研究的结果。本研究的目的是为在校园内实施回收，减少和回收废物管理计划奠定基础。据发现，校园墨西卡利一产生的固体废物1吨，每天;超过65%的这些废物是可回收或潜在的可回收。这些结果表明，隔离和回收计划在大学校园是可行的。该研究还表明，在目前的情况下，本地可回收废物市场-回收公司的数量和可回收废物的数量-可以吸收所有这些废物。讨论了一些潜在的可回收废物的替代品。最后讨论了从源头上减少废物的一些策略。
Integrated waste management systems are one of the greatest challenges for sustainable development. For these systems to be successful, the first step is to carry out waste characterization studies. In this paper are reported the results of a waste characterization study performed in the Campus Mexicali I of the Autonomous University of Baja California (UABC). The aim of this study was to set the basis for implementation of a recovery, reduction and recycling waste management program at the campus. It was found that the campus Mexicali I produces 1ton of solid wastes per day; more than 65% of these wastes are recyclable or potentially recyclable. These results showed that a program for segregation and recycling is feasible on a University Campus. The study also showed that the local market for recyclable waste, under present conditions – number of recycling companies and amounts of recyclables accepted – can absorb all of these wastes. Some alternatives for the potentially recyclables wastes are discussed. Finally some strategies that could be used to reduce waste at the source are discussed as well.
