According to the Chihuahua official, special emphasis was placed on the Circular Economy, specifically with regard to waste, also, to learn not only how other countries have advanced in the collection, transfer and final disposal, but also in the advances observed in other parts of the world in terms of recycling.
Regarding the landfill, the good practices carried out both in Canada and Chihuahua were shared, which differ in that in this city only separates what has a value, such as PET, cardboard or aluminum, in contrast to Canada, which has more advanced processes that will be implemented in Chihuahua to achieve a lower generation of waste.
