Waste management is still a challenging issue in Latin American countries. Recycling practices are not structured at national level, and they are mostly run by private initiatives; waste collection generally relied in street pickers, whose work is not properly regulated. Ecológica Reconectando is a waste management social enterprise located in the territory of Carepa (Apartadò, Colombia). The recycling scheme of Ecólogica is innovative. The activities of Ecológica are many: to create a system of local selective collection of waste, to educate the population to conscious consumption and recycling, to provide environmental and language education to the young generations of the communities, and to give stable and dignified employment to street pickers. The background is the North Colombian tropical territory, strictly linked to the banana industry, in a complex and deep-rooted mechanism. For this reason, Ecólogica collaborates with banana companies, which participate in the collection and invest part of the funds allocated by Fair Trade for projects with communities. At the moment, there are no examples in literature of banana farm waste composition analysis. In this work, the on-going project of Ecólogica is described and the results of the on-site analysis on waste composition of banana farms are presented. The objective is to identify the material waste streams and the repartition according to the recycling equipment supplied by Ecólogica. The information derived from the work will improve the quality of the collection scheme and will set a basis for future development.
