POP Projects

This project involves the use of ceiba fiber which is an organic waste for product innovation. Aiming at sustainability from the germination process to harvesting and obtaining the raw material, the project seeks to encourage sustainable activities and have a social impact. One of the main objectives of this initiative is to research and implement the use of tree residues, as an attempt toensure the sustainability of the community.

This service-oriented initiative works to sensitize people about their impact on the environment and how their actions can be made more environmentally friendly while obtaining various tangible and intangible benefits in their lifestyle. This projects seeks to meet several objectives including saving in the purchase of fruits, vegetables, spices and plants, allowing the user to transform a space in a natural and accessible way, providing a space that works as a support for acoustic and thermal insulation, among others.  It seeks to modify the habits of people at home, to make their homes more sustainable through the incorporation of green spaces.

The Santiago River suffers from pollution that is more than visible and there have been various unsuccessful attempts to recover it. This initiative attempts a rights-based approach and determines if human rights are taken into account under international standards in the sanitation of the Santiago river. With an intention to identify human rights standards in matters of environment, this project evaluates the violations of human rights that have taken place in previous plans and analyzes the measures taken to respect them.

This project attempts to positively employ organic matter in the generation of gas and electricity. It seeks to design a biodigester which works as an energy generator through organic matter and electrochemical cells. Applying the systematic methodology to obtain biogas and electrical energy through biodigesters, a power generator will be built to obtain variables in study analysis and cost and energy efficiency will be analyzed.

This is a project focused on the maximum use of water present in the atmosphere, through a system for collecting gutters, filters and easily available materials, and with an infrastructure that is easy to replicate in all campuses.

The purpose of this project is to create a university network of environmental education to generate social awareness about the environment, using infographics based on scientific articles and projects carried out in the different research areas, as well as in the basic academic programs of the degrees offered at the University of Guadalajara focused on the conservation of the environment.

This project is focused on making a biofilter with ground coconut husk that allows the retention of pollutants, parasites and pathogenic microorganisms from the water coming from sanitary discharges. The water is treated with the shell to obtain clean water that can be used for irrigation of green areas, agriculture and toilets.

Eco-credit is a self-sustaining container capable of classifying a wide range of waste materials based on the context in which it is installed. Having a solar energy-based internal mechanism, it also works with wifi networks to remunerate the user/citizens according to the quantity and material that have been deposited. 

Treatment and determination of the retention of seven heavy metals with the realization of a biofilter with orange feel and recycled materials from the residual water of the university center for exact science and engineering

Using orange peel, heavy metal retention in wastewater can be achieved as the peel can function as an adsorbent matrix.
