To contribute to the correct management of the waste generated by society is very useful the design and the implantation of tools that from the analysis of the initial situation allow to reduce the quantity of generated waste, and to improve their management. The lack of waste characterization at universities reflects the need to investigate and study the composition of this type of waste in order to have the necessary information to propose measures to minimize and to exploit it.
A waste management plan is an organization tool that after an exhaustive analysis and a good knowledge of the quantity and type of generated waste sets out measures to be applied, in this case at universities, in order to improve the waste management generated at it and to reduce as far as possible waste generation.
In this paper we have defined a methodology to propose a plan of waste management adapted to the universities. Afterwards, the designed methodology has been applied to the specific case of the Universitat Jaume I, to identify and quantify all kind of wastes generated at it, and to propose a set of measures that allow a more efficient waste management than the current one.
Keywords: university waste; waste management plan; characterization; minimization measures
