Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar la forma como se creó la “Red Iberoamericana: Recogida, Tratamiento y Reprocesos de Residuos Plásticos en Ríos/Mares”. El diseño metodológico es transaccional. La recolección de los datos se realizó utilizando la plataforma Google Forms. Previamente, se realizó un diagnóstico sobre entidades financiadoras de redes para determinar los términos de referencia y adaptarlos a la estructura. Además, se utilizaron técnicas de búsqueda para la contextualización de los trabajos realizados por redes de investigación en el sector plástico. Se concluyó que existen suficientes investigaciones sobre la recuperación de residuos plásticos en las distintas redes
The objective of this article is to present how the “Ibero-American Network: Collection, Treatment and Reprocessing of Plastic Waste in Rivers/Seas Network -RIMARES” was created within the framework of the call “Research stay with entrepreneurial purpose No. 917 of 2022 “of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation of Colombia and the support of the company Esenttia S.A., as a strategy to facilitate the development of new sustainable products in the plastics industry.
The methodological design according to the development sequence is categorized as a transactional study. For data collection, a form was constructed, using the resources of the Google Forms platform. The researchers consulted agreed to participate as partners in the formation of the network. Previously, a diagnosis was made of research network financing entities in Ibero-America to determine the terms of reference and adapt them to the structure. In addition, search techniques were used to contextualize the work carried out by research networks in the plastics sector. It was concluded that there is enough research on the recovery of plastic waste in the different networks and contrasted with other research, highlighting the difficulty and the use that has been given to the tools offered in these platforms in the search for the advancement of scientific knowledge. The constitution of this network was registered in the call for proposals 2023 of the Ibero-American Science and Technology for Development Program Cyted with the code P323RT0069
