...University-Bacoor City Campus Soldiers Hills 4,Molino, Bacoor, Cavite “Electronic Waste Issues And Measures in the Philippines” Submitted by: Martin John Regalado Stephen Arcenal BSHRM 1-1 Submitted to: Ms. Carol Tamayo Introduction: As technology evolves, we don’t know what happened to the old technology like cell phones, appliances or machines. Instead, we keep our attentions to the newly developed technology and the old ones become Electronic Waste or E-waste for short. E-waste is a defective or obsolete devices or appliances, which means useless or cannot be used anymore. These E-wastes are often kept at home, improperly disposed to dumpsites, or exported to developing countries. Organizations such as European Union have recognized the scope of the e-waste problem and have instituted a system of extended producer responsibility (EPR) to address it. One method developed at Carnegie Mellon University by Matthews et al. is based on sales data, which were used to estimate the current and future quantity of computers that will be reused, recycled, stored, and land filled in the United States. While in the Philippines Republic Act No. 9003, with the short title Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, was signed into law in January 2001. RA 9003 sets guidelines and targets for solid waste avoidance and volume reduction through source reduction and waste minimization measures, including recycling, reuse, and recovery before collection...

...INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR FOOD PROCESSING COMPANIES Program BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MARICEL M. BALANGUE ANGEL STORM E. CAINOY LARA MAY C. CELESTINO CHRISTIAN OLIVER J.GALLARDO ALSIE B.LANDICHO Proponents MR.JAYSONR.HERMOGENES Adviser 1. Project Title INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR FOOD PROCESSING COMPANIES 2. Project Overview and Problem Statement In business world, inventory is one of the most expensive assets of many companies. Good inventory management being crucial that have been recognized by operation managers around the globe. The project entitled Inventory Management for Food Processing Companies is a software application maintaining the records related to food stocks, items and products management. This can be used to track the inventory of a food processing company. In addition, since theft, errors and miscalculations can occur occasionally, the system provides solution for confirming the business inventory and for correcting stock quantity. One classic method of controlling food cost is to maintain inventory levels high enough to ensure menu items can be produced in the right quantity, but low enough to not have excess product sitting in storage. Excess inventory can result in increased waste from foods that spoil, are pilfered, or simply wasted due to overproduction or obsolescence. When inventory is high, it is harder to keep track of what products are on hand, more storage space...

...The country is widely acknowledged as having an outstanding endowment of natural resources, which could provide essential ecosystem services to the population. Demands arising from development and utilization activities, population expansion, poor environmental protection, and external factors such as climate change, however, have placed the country’s environment and natural resources under grave threat. For the medium-term, an environment that is healthy, ecologically balanced, sustainably productive, climate change resilient, and one that provides for present and future generations of Filipinos is envisioned. This vision will be pursued through an integrated and community-based ecosystems approach to environment and natural resources management, precautionary approach to environment and natural resources, sound environmental impact assessment (EIA) and cost-benefit analysis (CBA). These, then, are all anchored on the principles of shared responsibility, good governance, participation, social and environmental justice, intergenerational space and gender equity, with people at the core of conservation, protection and rehabilitation, and developmental initiatives. Assessment State of the Environment and Natural Resources The degraded state of the country’s environment and natural resources is felt most intensely by the poor, especially the rural communities given that they depend on these resources for their primary source of living. On the other hand, poverty frequently...

...PHILIPPINE SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT The Philippines generates about 10,000 million tons of solid waste per year and only 12 percent of the waste is recycled and re-used. The single most dominant issue for solid waste management (SWM) is the inadequacy of disposal facilities. Presently, open dumping is still the most common waste disposal method as controlled dumpsites and sanitary landfills (SLFs) are very limited. The opportunities presented by this serious environmental problem to suppliers of solid waste management products and equipment are enormous. The potential, however, is tempered by inadequate funds and technical capability, lack of political will and other problems. Despite the limitations, the market for SWM is still expected to grow five percent in the next three years. The major end-users of SWM products and equipment are the local government units and their private contractors as well as private proponents of SWM projects. The equipment cost and the source of project funding are major purchase considerations of end-users. Overview Solid waste is an environmental problem that has reached critical proportions in the Philippines. Due to a growing population, rapidly increasing consumption and increasing urbanization, waste generated in the Philippines is estimated at 19,700 tons per day. Projections show that waste generation will increase 47 percent by 2010, or 28,875 tons per day. SWM is the responsibility of local government units...

...The Health, Economic and Environmental Impacts of Urbanization in the Philippines Introduction As described by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) (2007), “The world is undergoing the largest wave of urban growth.” More than half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas. This global phenomenon is happening across different regions and development levels in the world. Richer countries in Europe and the Americas already large percentage of their population live in towns and cities, while developing countries in Africa and Asia, still a large percentage of their population lives in rural areas, however urbanizing faster than developed countries. The landscape of human settlement is changing due to these global trends, with significant effects on health, living conditions, the environment, and development across the world. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the health, economic and environmental impacts of urbanization in the Philippines. What is Urbanization? Urbanization is defined as “the process by which an increasing proportion of the population comes to live in urban areas” (Yassi et al, 2011, p. 293). Many theories of development view urbanization and industrialization as interdependent processes of modern economics. However, according to Gollin et al (2013, p. 2), these two concepts are not synonymous, and they argue that there is not a strong association between urbanization and industrialization specifically among developing countries...

INEPO ÇEVRE PROJE OLİMPİYADI FATİH KOLEJİ (FATIH COLLEGE) ISTANBUL, TURKEY 1-4 JUNE 2008 Avril Rodiel Bries Quezon City Science High School (Regional Science High School for NCR) REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES- CUMHURIYET FİLİPİNLER School Year 2007-2008 Mr. Noel Pablo Diaz Research Adviser Abstract: On average, 435,000 metric tons of pineapples are produced annually in the Philippines, which is one of the country’s leading commercial fruit products. However, there are a lot of unused excess parts of the pineapple, notably the peelings, which are considered as waste and contribute to the country’s garbage problem. There is a global oil crisis, as the demand for petroleum increases each year while our supplies are rapidly being depleted. Bioethanol, a principle biofuel, is a natural alternative to gasoline. One solution to both dilemmas is to produce bioethanol from pineapple plant peelings. This will be made possible by extracting the glucose content of the peelings and fermenting it through the process of Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation (SSF) using the yeast sample. Peel samples, coming...

...READINESS AND EXTENT OF IMPLEMENTATION OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT OF MATINA PANGI AND MAA COMMUNITIES: BASIS FOR ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM By: Melissa C. Napil ABSTRACT Solid waste management is a factor of sustainable environmental development. However, many countries including the Philippines still consider solid waste management a problem. Hence, this study was conducted to determine if readiness significantly influence the extent of implementation of solid waste management in two communities namely, Matina Pangi and Maa, Davao City. The study revealed that the two communities are very much ready in terms of implementing solid waste management, and their extent of implementation of solid waste management was high. It was found that there was no significant difference on level of readiness and extent of implementation of solid waste management between the two communities. Finally, the influence of readiness on extent of implementation of solid waste was found significant. Key words – Solid Waste Management, Readiness and Extent of Implementation of Solid Waste Management INTRODUCTION There is increasing evidence that community-based approaches to waste management, than top-down program created by bureaucrats, can promote a more sustainable development. The UNESCO Resource book on Environmental Education (1995) as cited by Santiago, et al, (1998) stressed that community readiness and participation are powerful strategies in attaining sustainable environmental...
