Latin American environmental sustainability initiatives

Overview

Regional efforts to promote sustainability and circular economy models are expanding across several South American nations.

In Argentina, government agencies are coordinating to advance environmental education and recycling. The Undersecretariat of the Environment is working with education and civil defense ministries to plan a 2027 agenda focused on teacher training, air quality protection, and preventing sugarcane burning. Additionally, partnerships with educational institutions and private companies, such as Bio Pappel, aim to promote responsible resource use and paper recycling.

In Colombia and Ecuador, initiatives are targeting organic waste management and food recovery. In El Santuario, Colombia, a model has been presented for transforming household organic waste into certified compost through selective collection and aeration. Meanwhile, in Riobamba, Ecuador, the San Pedro Wholesale Market is collaborating with academic institutions on programs like ReAPROVECHA to recover edible food and convert biodegradable waste into natural fertilizer.
