Introduction: This article reveals the problem of waste management by activities of companies and the destination given using the most recent information obtained from the industrial environmental survey EAI -2019 available through the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE). Materials and Methods: This study focuses on the amount of organic waste and its destination. For this, the variables are correlated: amount of organic waste and number of companies that take advantage of it for reuse according to the type of main activity of the companies. Results and Discussion: It was shown that only 65% of the companies measure the waste generated. The greater the amount of organic waste generated, the greater the amount that companies take advantage of for reuse, recycling or another modality. The predominant action is to deliver the waste to a third party that is in charge of the final destination with 56.9% of the companies, a figure that exceeds the 40.3% obtained from the sum of selling, donating or taking advantage of organic waste. Conclusions: There is evidence of a risk for measuring compliance with circular economy goals and for municipal development plans, taking into account that around 35% of companies do not measure waste. The commitment of companies to improve the volume of use of solid waste, even these can generate additional economic or energy resources according to the given destination. A good use of organic waste will contribute to the management of the circular economy to support the care of the environment
