The Metropolitan District of Quito concentrates 37% of the large industries and is an axis of development in Ecuador. The activity carried out implies some modifications in the ecosystem, either due to the demand for resources, the emission of pollutants and the generation of waste that generate environmental impacts. For this study, a model based on system dynamics was generated, where different scenarios were shown until 2030. National and regional policies predict good results focused on sustainability.
