MUNOZ CADENA, Cecilia Esther  y  MORALES PEREZ, Rosalba Esther. Organic waste production in commercial and services economic units in Mexico City. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2018, vol.33, n.3, pp.733-767. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v33i3.1804.

The inconsistency of official data on waste inventories affects several countries in the world. Given their importance in integral management planning to mitigate its impact, this article seeks to estimate the organic share of special management waste generated in the commercial and service economic units of Mexico City, by analyzing generation rates per employee. The results show the daily generation of 14 155 tons of organic waste. This alternative strategy will reinforce integral management and the implementation of waste policy.

Palabras llave : organic waste; commerce and services economic units; Mexico City; waste generation.
