Good morning miss, today we're going to talk you about an interesting topic entitled "Effect of the

circular economy on three sectors of Peru on the environment", this presentation was prepared by
Sandra Rivadeneyra and me.
And before we start our conversation, we are going to make a conversation while we explain some
details of our report.
In this order of ideas, we would like you to pay attention please.
Conversation
J: Hi Sandra, how are you?
S: Hi Jonh, very good, and you?
J: Not bad; but the current context affects me, not only because of the political and social crisis or
the coronavirus, but also the environmental component and companies. Did you know that currently
more than 85% of companies in Peru still use the lineal economy model? Instead they should use
the circular economy model.
S: You are right, Peru is devastated socially, politically and economically and in addition to that,
also environmentally; but, could you explain to me about lineal and circular economy models, that
sounds very interesting.
J: That's an interesting question Sandra, I'll explain you. The economy has a lineal economy model
that comes from the time of the industrial revolution, from the 18th century to now, more than 200
years, that's too much, this type of economy is based on producing - consuming and throwing away
where waste is generated, while the circular economy is based on producing - consuming - reusing
and recycling, that in consequently does not generate waste this model. That is the difference
between the two models.

S: That sounds great, but how do these models relate to the environment ?
J: Well, the industries that use the lineal model, generate waste, for example: Slaughter houses, they
produce by slaughtering cattle, they consume a lot of water for that, and then throw away the waste
that is not needed; Now, the water, the wastewater that comes from the washing has a high content
of organic matter that will eventually decrease the amount of dissolved oxygen in the river, and
eventually, the fishes and others in their river will die. On the ground, solid waste such as horns and
fur will accumulate and then flies, rats and bad smells will come.
S: I have heard of that, in fact I know that cows generate the greatest amount of methane in the
environment, which is very dangerous; you know about the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, you
knew that they were made for the world population to take it into account to improve the quality of
life, we have until 2030 to change the future.
J: Could you explain a little more about that?
S: Sure, in 2015 the United Nations created the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, so that all
countries take their objectives as a reference. Peru included, is based on these objectives to improve
the environment.
J: And what are those goals?
S: Well, among the main ones, there is "zero hunger", "Health", "Clean water and sanitation",
"Sustainable energy", "Industrial innovation", "responsible production and consumption", "Action
for the climate" and " biodiversity ”.
J: Wow, there are many, I think that the circular economy could be applied within the “responsible
production and consumption” of the SDG, I think that there are means that are the way, but aren’t
the destination.
S: You're right, our generation can make a difference.
J: We are the bicentennial generation now, let's do it.
S: Thanks for everything, see you.
J: Don't worry, I'll see you later.

1. Why did you choose the topic?

Well, we chose this topic because as we explained in the conversation, the recent increase of meat
consumption for example, needs a many liters of water in the process and then generate many tons
of waste, so instead of use the lineal economy, we can use the circular model.
2. Are there any disadvantage on this circular economy?
In the first place, and it is a great disadvantage is to integrate this model into the normal economy of
the company. Another else it would be, the cost of the implementing management. It needs regular
money to implement it.
