The main objective of this review is to present a Pentahelix model of environmental education from various perspectives. The findings indicate that centering the community in the interaction between academy, the productive sector, government, and social organizations generates more effective and sustainable solutions. The research uses a documentary analysis methodology to collect and analyze relevant information on environmental education programs, allowing the evaluation of the methods used in the reviewed studies. This model promotes the integration of scientific knowledge with local practices, encourages community participation, and supports the implementation of innovative strategies. The model emphasizes that collaboration among key stakeholders is essential for the success of these programs and for generating economic value in waste management. The Pentahelix approach is presented as comprehensive and adaptable, capable of addressing environmental challenges in diverse contexts.enEnvironmental educationsolid wasteintegrated modelPentahelix modetext::journal::journal article
