Approaches to Green and Environmental Engineering for Industrial Sustainability: A Systematic Review Universidad Privada del Norte - (PE), Perú Industrial pollution and climate change pose critical global challenges, with the industrial sector accounting for nearly 90% 9:08am - 9:16am
Evaluation of the technical-environmental performance of coconut and cocoa husk briquettes as an alternative to shihuahuaco charcoal in Yurimaguas-Peru Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas - (PE), Perú Air pollution from burning charcoal for cooking poses an environmental problem not only because of the health risks to millions of people worldwide, but also because of the depletion of associated vulnerable timber species. Peru is no exception, and this study evaluates the technical and environmental performance of briquettes made from Theobroma cacao (cacao) and Cocos nucifera (coconut) husks, generated as waste in the district of Yurimaguas, Loreto region (Peru), as an energy alternative to shihuahuaco (Dipteryx micrantha) charcoal, which is primarily used in food preparation establishments and is also a vulnerable species in the region. A completely randomized design (CRD) with a 5×2 factorial arrangement was applied, considering the type of biomass and the proportion of natural binder (10% and 15% cassava starch), to analyze the physicochemical properties of the briquettes according to ISO 17225-3. The briquettes exhibited moisture, ash, and calorific value values within the established ranges, with the T2Y2 mixture (75% cocoa, 25% coconut, and 15% binder) identified as the optimal formulation. Furthermore, combustion tests, conducted with DustMate equipment and a MultiRAE gas analyzer, demonstrated a reduction of over 50% in CO, PM₁₀, and PM₂.₅ emissions compared to shihuahuaco charcoal. These results demonstrate that coconut and cocoa briquettes are a competitive energy alternative, both technically and environmentally, for the progressive replacement of charcoal used for cooking food in homes and establishments selling prepared food. 9:16am - 9:24am
Salutogenic design guidelines for space appropriation in older adults Universidad Tecnológica del Perú UTP - (PE), Perú Salutogenic Design, as an architectural approach oriented toward well-being, proposes guidelines that strengthen autonomy and emotional connection with the environment. In the geriatric context, these dimensions are essential for older adults' appropriation of spaces. This study analyzed this relationship at the Hogar de la Paz, located in Nuevo Chimbote, Áncash, Peru, using a correlational approach and mixed methods that included international case studies, observation sheets, and interviews. The results confirmed a significant relationship (r = 0.839; p < 0.05) between salutogenic design and spatial appropriation, validating that environment designed with criteria of flexibility, sensory comfort, and the presence of nature directly impact the perception of belonging, security, and control. However, limitations were identified, highlighting the need to comprehensively apply salutogenic guidelines in future geriatric architecture projects in Peru. The result of this research is to demonstrate the importance of incorporating design strategies that not only fulfill a technical function, but can also become agents of health and well-being, integrating salutogenic criteria to enhance the appropriation of space and consolidate a more inclusive and humane infrastructure model 9:24am - 9:32am
How will the circular economy enable sustainability in the utilization of trout farming waste? Universidad Privada del Norte - (PE), Perú The present study proposes a circular economy model for an aquaculture company to maximize the utilization of waste. The objective of the research was to evaluate the feasibility of converting rainbow trout processing residues into sustainable fish meal, thereby reducing environmental impacts and improving resource efficiency. The analysis of waste generated during evisceration revealed that approximately 40% of each trout corresponded to residues, thereby highlighting the inefficient use of available resources. The research adopted a documentary and exploratory approach, taking extant information on innovative subjects. A quantitative methodology was employed to collect numerical data to assess the potential increase in profits derived from waste valorization. The process entails the cooking, pressing, and drying of the residues, resulting in a dehydrated mass that is subsequently milled. This process has been devised to optimize the utilization of all materials in accordance with circularity principles. The indicators MCI, IC, and FIFO were estimated to measure circularity, biomass reincorporation, and nutrient retention efficiency. From a total of 4,000 kilograms of processed fish per month, 40% of by-products were obtained, yielding 25% of the total, resulting in 400 kilograms per month of sustainable fish meal, which served as the basis for calculating the system indicators. The results demonstrate adequate valorization, effective material reincorporation, and good nutrient retention, supporting the technical, environmental, and economic feasibility of the proposed model for the aquaculture industry. 9:32am - 9:40am
Sustainability and Digitalization of the agri-food supply chain: a systematic literature review Universidad Tecnológica del Perú UTP - (PE), Perú Abstract– Digitalization and automation are transforming agro-industries due to the need to optimize efficiency, ensure food availability, and meet the demands of the global market. The aim of this study is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the level of digitalization in the sector and to identify the factors that restrict its implementation, in order to collect and examine the available evidence to understand the causes of this technological gap over time and its impact on progress toward more competitive, efficient, and sustainable agri-food systems. The PIOC approach was applied to the research to achieve a precise definition of the population, intervention, outcomes, and context of analysis. This enabled the establishment of clear criteria for information retrieval. Based on this framework, the PRISMA methodology was used to select 20 studies published between 2020 and 2025, which were obtained through systematic searches of international academic databases. This process allowed for the extraction of up-to-date and relevant information on digitalization and the persistent constraints on its implementation in agri-food systems, revealing that digital technologies enable a significant reduction in losses, improve sustainability, and optimize processes to meet international standards. Finally, the study concludes that digitalization represents a strategic pathway toward more sustainable, efficient, and resilient agro-industries; however, its effective adoption requires adequate infrastructure, investment, training, and policies aimed at reducing existing technological gaps. Keywords– Sustainability, Automation, Digitalization, Agro-industry, Supply chain

3D Printing Applied to Construction: A New Frontier for Efficiency, Sustainability, and Industrialization 1Universidad Tecnológica del Perú UTP - (PE), Perú; 2Universidad Privada Antenor Orrego - (PE) In recent years, 3D printing applied to the construction industry has emerged as a disruptive technology with significant potential to transform traditional building processes. The objective of this study is to systematically analyze recent scientific literature on 3D printing in construction, assessing its contributions in terms of productive efficiency, environmental sustainability, and in dustrialization of the sector. To this end, a systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA methodology, considering scientific articles indexed in Scopus (Q1, Q2, and Q3) and published over the last five years. The analysis included thematic synthesis, study categorization, and a bibliometric approach to identify research trends, leading countries, and existing research gaps. The results indicate that 3D printing enables material optimization, reduced construction time, and lower environmental impact, particularly when integrated with life cycle assessment methodologies and sustainable construction materials. Furthermore, a significant advancement in the technological maturity of 3D concrete printing (3DCP) is identified, although important limitations persist, mainly related to the lack of technical standards and process standardization. It is concluded that 3D printing represents a viable and strategic alternative for the development of a more efficient, sustainable, and industrialized construction sector, highlighting the need for future research focused on regulation, structural validation, and implementation in local contexts. | ||
