Neil Seldman, del programa \"Waste to Wealth\" del ILSR (Instituto de Liderazgo Sostenible y Responsabilidad), de Washington, D.C., sigue siguiendo la propuesta del \"un solo contenedor\" en Houston, Texas. En su 7 de enerota<\/sup>\u00a0Carta al editor<\/a>, Seldman subraya el hecho de que el programa piloto de reciclaje en la acera de la ciudad est\u00e1 funcionando bien y es bastante popular. \u00bfPuede imaginar qu\u00e9 tan r\u00e1pido podr\u00eda propagarse el programa, aumentando los materiales recuperados y los empleos creados, si los funcionarios de la ciudad vieran la luz y acordaran invertir solo una fracci\u00f3n de los $45.9 millones anuales destinados al desarrollo econ\u00f3mico?<\/p>\n

En agosto de 2014, la carta de Seldman al editor plante\u00f3 preguntas econ\u00f3micas y ambientales sobre el proyecto. Seldman compar\u00f3 el enfoque de Houston con el de Austin, Texas<\/a>, que tiene un objetivo de cero residuos. Houston podr\u00eda, discutiblemente, alcanzar y superar a Austin, que est\u00e1 en camino a cero residuos (un%% de desv\u00edo de vertederos e incineraci\u00f3n) para 2025.<\/p>\n

En diciembre, en una reuni\u00f3n del Comit\u00e9 de Reciclaje del Consejo de Gobiernos Metropolitanos de Washington (MWCOG), funcionarios locales, miembros de la industria y el p\u00fablico discutieron la tecnolog\u00eda de recolecci\u00f3n y reciclaje de residuos en un solo contenedor que se promueve en varias ciudades de EE. UU. Indian\u00e1polis est\u00e1 introduciendo una l\u00ednea de procesamiento de basura en un solo contenedor para alimentar su incinerador de combusti\u00f3n masiva.<\/p>\n

El sistema de un solo contenedor no es una estrategia para conservar y reciclar materiales valiosos y llevarlos a los mercados.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Se trata, en cambio, de una estrategia para mejorar el flujo de desechos como combustible. Un ejecutivo de la industria de reciclaje de papel de Estados Unidos respondi\u00f3 a esta presentaci\u00f3n se\u00f1alando que los mercados no comprar\u00edan el papel contaminado recuperado por la tecnolog\u00eda de un solo contenedor. Esto subraya la necesidad de combinar el procesamiento de un solo contenedor con la incineraci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Los opositores locales al sistema de un solo contenedor, que reemplaza al reciclaje en la acera, temen que este sea el objetivo final del plan de Houston. Oficialmente, la ciudad no se ha comprometido con ninguna tecnolog\u00eda de conversi\u00f3n de residuos en energ\u00eda.<\/p>\n

En enero, un Informe del Houston Chronicle<\/a> se proporciona una comparaci\u00f3n detallada de costos entre el plan de un solo contenedor\/incineraci\u00f3n y un contrato reci\u00e9n firmado para la eliminaci\u00f3n a largo plazo en vertederos locales a $23.50 por tonelada. El plan costar\u00eda a los residentes, empresas e instituciones de Houston entre $40 y $160 por tonelada. Suponiendo un costo intermedio de $100 por tonelada, esto representa un recargo diario de $153,000 en comparaci\u00f3n con el nuevo contrato de vertedero. Esto equivale a $45.9 millones anuales (suponiendo 300 d\u00edas de operaci\u00f3n por a\u00f1o) de los bolsillos de los residentes, empresas e instituciones de Houston (por ejemplo, escuelas y hospitales).<\/p>\n

Tambi\u00e9n existen costos de oportunidad, ya que los materiales destruidos podr\u00edan generar cientos, si no miles, de empleos en procesamiento, manufactura y agricultura.<\/p>\n
