The proposed research is based on investigating the circularity of three districts in the city of Lima, the capital of Peru, located in different areas of the city: East Lima, South Lima, and North Lima. The variables to be analyzed within circular economy strategies are solid waste management, recycling, innovation, sustainability indicators, sustainable construction, and environmental education. The results obtained can be used in future studies as well as in management plans for these districts and other areas of the city.
