Business representatives, social organizations and academics agreed that Mexico requires fundamental changes, both economic and cultural, if it wants to move towards sustainable development.
Carlos Scheel, professor emeritus at the EGADE Business School of the Tecnológico de Monterrey, considered that Mexican society is uninformed and it is difficult for it to understand what it means to be sustainable.
There is a lack of awareness, he added, "it is not France Mobile Number List a budget issue, but rather that no one is aware of the impact it causes, we need a new disruptive way of thinking about the present and the future, the economy, sustainability and the self-preservation of the individual."
He criticized that “the current economic system invites citizens to become lazy and not take into account the unsustainable reality that surrounds them.”
He urged businessmen to understand that models derived from sustainability are profitable and profitable.
In the presentation of the 2018 Sustainability Report of PetStar, a PET plastic recycling plant, he assured that the management of urban solid pollutants is only part of the environmental problem that humanity suffers, “we should not only focus on prohibiting the use of Plastic products".
If we do not fundamentally attack the problems of the waste chain, the problem will never end, he assured, exemplifying that today there is a change from internal combustion cars to electric ones but mobility does not improve, "that happens by not attacking the fundamental system that governs us.”
“We have to focus attention on the hows, which is where the circular economy is located, which should not be the goal but rather one more step to reach a balanced society,” he mentioned.
He added that no one should be left out of the recycling value chain, particularly scavengers, who until now are the last link in the sector and do not receive any human, social or economic benefit.
Sensitivity towards sustainable businesses
For his part, E duardo Piquero , director of the MÉXICO2 Platform, indicated that “a combination of incentives is required to give a new value to waste, including fiscal and legal aspects that are not very up to date in the country. In addition to the fact that there is a lack of regulation to generate incentives in the circular economy.”
He added that current investors are very sensitive about sustainable businesses, since they take it into account as well as aspects of corporate governance and corruption, among others.
In coincidence, Eugenio Barrios, Policy Director of the WWF Mexico organization, said that sustainability must be an internal substance of companies and help make decisions for a better future in the business world.
“The problem is that you think that you live in an infinite world, you must set limits to establish how far you can go. Therefore, the circular economy is an example of how to properly manage products.”
Control and recycling of plastics on the rise
Jaime Cámara, general director of PetStar, stated that this company seeks to be not only a recycling business, but also to be included in the circular economy by giving a new life to PET.
He assured that they have established industrial policies on emissions mitigation and water savings, in addition to being a “zero waste” facility.
“We seek to inspire other organizations to be sustainable and for the business culture to migrate to circular models and sustainability to be a structural part of the business,” he said.
