ASEGRA is an industrial area in Granada (Spain) with important waste management problems. In order to properly manage and control waste production in industry, one must know the quantity, type, and composition of industrial wastes, as well as the management practices of the companies involved. In our study, questionnaires were used to collect data regarding methods of waste management used in 170 of the 230 businesses in the area of study. The majority of these companies in ASEGRA are small or medium-size, and belong to the service sector, transport, and distribution. This was naturally a conditioning factor in both the type and management of the wastes generated. It was observed that paper and cardboard, plastic, wood, and metals were the most common types of waste, mainly generated from packaging (49% of the total volume), as well as material used in containers and for wrapping products. Serious problems were observed in the management of these wastes. In most cases they were disposed of by dumping, and very rarely did businesses resort to reuse, recycling or valorization. Smaller companies encountered greater difficulties when it came to effective waste management. The most frequent solution for the disposal of wastes in the area was dumping.
阿塞格拉是西班牙格拉纳达的一个工业区，存在重大的废物管理问题。为了妥善管理和控制工业中的废物产生，必须了解工业废物的数量、类型和成分，以及相关公司的管理做法。在我们的研究中，通过问卷调查收集了有关研究区域内230家企业中170家所采用的废物管理方法的数据。阿塞格拉的这些公司大多为中小型企业，属于服务业、运输业和分销业。这自然是所产生废物的类型和管理方面的一个制约因素。据观察，纸张和纸板、塑料、木材和金属是最常见的废物类型，主要产生于包装（占总体积的49%）以及用于容器和包装产品的材料。在这些废物的管理方面发现了严重问题。在大多数情况下，它们是通过倾倒进行处置的，企业很少采用再利用、回收或增值处理。较小的公司在有效废物管理方面遇到了更大的困难。该地区最常见的废物处置解决方案是倾倒。
