    Towards Sustainable E-waste Management in Latin America: Evaluation of Regional Initiatives for Environmentally Sound Solutions
    (Inglés II. Universidad Tecnológica Nacional. Facultad Regional Paraná, 2025-11) Ferreyra, Agustín; Plem, Alejandro
    Abstract— The rapid growth in the consumption and disposal of electronic devices has led to a global increase in electronic waste, causing serious environmental and health problems when mismanagement. In Latin America, this issue is intensified by the lack of legal frameworks, limited recycling infrastructure, and low public awareness about to e-waste management. This paper analyses international and regional initiatives aimed at improving e-waste management and evaluates their applications in the continent. It focuses on three key strategies: implementing extended producer responsibility, developing robust legal al policy frameworks and reinforcing existing recycling systems to enhance efficiency. Each approach is assessed in terms of feasibility, strengths and limitations, considering the economic, political and social context in the region. This study contributes to raising awareness and promoting coordinated actions to mitigate e-waste mismanagement and support sustainable development in Latin America.

    Energy from Fusion: Containing Plasma to 100 Million Degrees Celsius in the Tokamak
    (2021-12-02) Ferreyra, Agustín; Lutte, Victoria
    Abstract: The damage caused to the environment because of the greenhouse gases emissions is mainly due to the use of fossil fuels. These are used for generating energy and they are not renewable resources. The current renewable resources for generating energy, such as wind and solar power, are not capable of being the principal source of energy for the countries. Also, nuclear fission, which is proposed as alternative form of renewable energy, present well known disadvantages like safety and radioactive waste. Fusion energy can fix these problems although it has been complex to develop it to become a massive source of energy. Currently, because of the advancement in physics, science and engineering, it has been possible to develop a method that allows to overcome the greatest difficulty of fusion: containing the fuel to millions of degrees. A recent development, the Tokamak, can carry out and generate energy from fusion given its design and magnetic confinement capacity. With the necessary investment and development of this energy, the growing energy consumption around the world could be satisfied in a clean and safe way
