Sonora UniversityAccording to the World Bank Report, What a Waste 2.0 (2018b), 2010 million tons of solid waste are generated annually in the world and of these, at least 33% will not be treated. This waste is expected to increase in the next few years, which could mean that by 2050 3.4 billion tons will be generated. It is urgent to pay attention to the above and act accordingly.   The alert has reached Governments, Institutions and Organizations at the international and national level. The University of Sonora, responding to this call, began a Program for the treatment of garbage on the Campus of the City of Hermosillo, seeking the reduction and recycling of materials such as cardboard, paper, metal, plastic and others. Among these materials is Expanded Polystyrene or Unicel, frequently used for packaging and safeguarding food and beverages, with an approximatetimeof 500years foritsdegradation (UNAM, 2018). Hence the importance of reducing its use and, if possible, its elimination as packaging material for food consumed by the population. The Division of Economic-Administrative Sciences of the University of Sonora, served as a focus of attention to observe the behavior assumed by students and teachers around the subject at hand.Según el Informe del Banco Mundial, What a Waste 2.0 (2018b), se generan 2010 millones de toneladas anuales de desechos sólidos en el mundo y, de ellos, al menos 33% no serán tratados. Se espera que esos residuos aumenten en los próximos años, lo que podría significar que para 2050 se estén generando 3400 millones de toneladas. Es urgente prestar atención a lo anterior y actuar en consecuencia; la alerta ha llegado a Gobiernos, Instituciones y Organizaciones a nivel internacional y nacional. La Universidad de Sonora, atendiendo ese llamado comenzó un Programa para el tratamiento de la basura en el Campus de la Ciudad de Hermosillo, buscando la reducción y el reciclaje de materiales como cartón, papel, metal, plástico y otros. Entre estos materiales se encuentra el Poliestireno expandido o Unicel, frecuentemente utilizado para empaque y resguardo de alimentos y bebidas, con un tiempo aproximado de 500 años para su degradación. De ahí la importancia de reducir su uso y, de ser posible, su eliminación como material de empaque de alimentos consumidos por la población. La División de Ciencias Económico-Administrativas de la Universidad de Sonora, sirvió como foco de atención para observar la conducta que asumen los estudiantes y docentes en torno al tema que nos ocupa.Universidad de Sonora2020-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistavertice.unison.mx/index.php/rvu/article/view/2110.36792/rvu.vi86.21Revista Vértice Universitario ; Volume 22, Number 86 (April-June) 2020Revista Vértice Universitario ; Volumen 22, Número 86 (Abril-Junio) 20202683-2623reponame:Vértice Universitarioinstname:UNIVERSIDAD DE SONORAinstacron:UNISONspahttps://revistavertice.unison.mx/index.php/rvu/article/view/21/21Derechos de autor 2020 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.revistavertice.unison.mx:article/212024-08-19T22:23:18Z
