Agricultural companies usually experience fresh fruit losses and waste throughout process chains. In fact, approximately 55% of worldwide losses and waste from fruit and vegetable production come from Latin America. These wastes are due to factors such as deterioration during storage and distribution, fruit flies at harvest time, inadequate selection and classification processes, and climatic factors. Therefore, a waste management model, supported by reverse logistics and the 5S Methodology, was developed to generate added value by leveraging the biomass available. In this model, the 5S Methodology is implemented to reduce waste and improve waste management. Next, biomass production is assessed to estimate its economic and environmental impact on the company. The pilot of the proposed model has been carried out in an agricultural company. The results showed a 2% reduction in the waste generated compared to the 20% loss generated in the region's processing tasks, an increase of 15% in the company's income.
