N2 - The general objective of this research is to determine the level of use of avocado waste in agroindustrial companies to obtain biodiesel in the Lambayeque Region, Peru. The type of research is quantitative, based on a non-experimental correlational design between the variables for obtaining biodiesel and avocado waste, applying a Pearson correlation. Likewise, a population and sample represented by the agroindustrial companies of the Lambayeque Region that export frozen avocado were taken, and waste data during the years 2015–2021 using a documentary analysis guide as an instrument was compiled. One of the main results shows that the transesterification technique is the method that is best suited for obtaining biodiesel. On the other hand, using this method, for each kilo of waste, half a liter of biodiesel is obtained, which is estimated to produce 485,200.67 L of biodiesel per year in the Lambayeque Region. Finally, through the Pearson correlation, it is verified that the variables obtaining biodiesel and waste have a direct correlation.
