This article presents a study of the generation and management of solid waste in Latin America and aims to show how to create economic value for companies and benefits for society and government, by moving from a linear economic model to a Circular economic model to re-conceive the generation and management of solid waste at the same time, the development of solid waste processing clusters in Latin America. The study begins by identifying the problems currently generated by inefficient solid waste management in Latin America, then quantifying the affectation of these problems for society, and finally, the identification of key factors to re-conceive a system of recovery of solid waste and its processing with the aim of returning its economic value or insert them back into the value chain, through the study of cases in developed countries that have adopted a circular economy model in the management of their waste solid.
