Resumen
El avance tecnológico y el desarrollo de la sociedad, en Guayaquil y en las grandes ciudades del país, deben hacer frente a un nuevo problema que está afectando nuestro entorno y al medio ambiente en general. Cada día se acumulan enormes cantidades de “basura o chatarra electrónica” que generamos a corto y mediano plazo, desechos electrónicos que provienen de equipos obsoletos o dañados como: teléfonos móviles, iPod, laptops, computadoras de escritorios (PC), cámara de video, filmadoras, juegos de video, receptores, fotocopiadoras, sistemas de audios, calculadoras, entre otros aparatos electrónicos en desuso o descontinuados. A la basura ordinaria y contaminantes tradicionales, en los últimos años, se ha sumado este nuevo tipo de desecho; debido a su gran volumen, su naturaleza compleja y nivel de toxicidad, ha despertado la preocupación de organizaciones medioambientales, empresas privadas, gobierno central y gobiernos seccionales, incluso la propia industria responsable directa de la producción, distribución y venta de estos productos electrónicos, con uso de vida vada vez más corto. En el Ecuador no existen datos oficiales de cuánta basura electrónica se produce cada año, ya que este tipo de basura es tirado junto con la basura ordinaria y va para los vertederos o depósitos (basureros municipales). Especialmente, en la ciudad de Guayaquil no existe un registro para poder abarcar con datos exactos a esta problemática. La
falta de leyes, ordenanzas y, sobretodo, colaboración ciudadana provoca un crecimiento del problema. Si estas tres no están sincronizadas, no se podrá contar con un manejo y debido procesamiento adecuado de este tipo de “basura electrónica”. En la región, sólo cuatro países han puesto el interés para desarrollar estudios sobre esta problemática como; Colombia, Chile, Venezuela y Bolivia. Actualmente este tipo de basura es amontonasa en un lugar o espacio libre o bodega. También es apilada en las esquinas de las empresas, establecimientos educativos, en patios o en algún rincón de los hogares, y lo que es más grave aún, la mayoría de las veces las mezclan con la basura ordinaria, la que se desecha diariamente, que luego es recogida por la empresa encargada de mantener limpia la ciudad de Guayaquil.
Technological progress and development of society, in Guayaquil and in big cities, they face a new problem that is affecting our environment and the environment in general. Every day huge amounts of "junk or electronic scrap " to generate short and medium term, e-waste coming from obsolete or damaged equipment accumulate as : mobile phones, iPod , laptops, desktop computers (PCs), video camera, camcorders, video games , receivers , copiers, audio systems , calculators , among other electronics obsolete or discontinued . The ordinary and traditional pollutants, in recent years , trash has joined this new type of waste , due to its large volume , its complex nature and level of toxicity, has raised concerns of environmental organizations , private companies , central government and regional governments , including industry directly responsible for the production, distribution and sale of these electronic products, use of vada shorter life time . In Ecuador there are no official data on how much e-waste is produced each year , as this type of garbage is thrown away with the regular trash and goes to landfills or deposits ( landfills ) . Especially , in the city of Guayaquil there is no record to include accurate data to this problem . the lack of laws , ordinances and above citizen collaboration causes a growth problem. If these three are not synchronized, you can not have a proper handling and processing because this kind of " e-waste " . In the region , only four countries have the interest to develop studies on this problem as , Colombia , Chile, Venezuela and Bolivia . Currently this waste is amontonasa in a place or space or warehouse . It is also stacked in the corners of companies , educational establishments, on patios or in some corner of the home, and what is even worse , most of the time mixed with the regular garbage, which is discarded daily, which is then collected by the company responsible for keeping the city clean of Guayaquil.
