DOI: https://doi.org/The study carried out analyzes how an Environmental Management System (EMS) generates efficient management of solid waste generated by an extra-port terminal, since the volume of solid waste is high, a situation that occurs in different places, the terminal is no stranger to this reality, then its objective is to validate the improvement of the EMS in the management of RRSS and in this way also minimize and control the risks derived from the management of this waste to protect people and the environment and achieve its reuse. For this purpose, the study of the Characterization of the RRSS was important; it was the tool that allowed the updating of the Environmental Management Plan, followed by the study of the generation, composition and quality of solid waste, from which it was possible to design and plan the most appropriate and viable proposals for its technical and sanitary treatment. The methodology used in this study was based on the simplified method proposed by Kunitoshi Sakurai, which allowed for the determination of: a) the current population projection, b) the number of samples, c) awareness and training, d) per capita generation, and e) the physical composition of solid waste. Statistical formulas for sample determination and data processing were also included. Finally, this document presents the results of the study, which validate the importance of the EMS in the management of social and environmental resources as the purpose of this research.
