THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
The industry of retailing is said to be the largest industry in the Philippines. We can safely assume that retail stores make up a huge share of employment, product and services, publicity and sales. Retail paper and plastic bags are common packaging tools in the market but due to environmental issues and the public’s awareness more people are decided to use retail paper bag instead of plastic. Paper bags are used for many things, to put up lunches for kids, to bring in the groceries, to take out the trash, to hold the things and help us stay organized. Many markets have switched from plastic bags to paper bags. Paper bags are less expensive. Cost Effectiveness is one of the reasons why they prefer paper bag other than plastic bag. Many vendors and consumers have complained about using plastic bags to put their goods. Some market and grocery stores now give a choice between paper bags or plastic bags. Some
Smart shoppers choose to use paper bags instead of plastic assuming that it is an environmentally friendly and better alternative. Paper Bags are usually made up of plant fibers substance from fibrous cellulose materials as rags, woods, or barks. Paper bags were invented in the 1850’s. Paper bags are recyclable. Well known grocery stores, supermarkets, fast food chain, establishment and markets uses brown paper bags to hold their items since there are laws that are implemented to ban the usage of plastic bags in some provinces and cities in the Philippines. Paper bags can easily be disposed and not a harmful thing in the environment. They are not a big problem, since it is one of the most useful bags nowadays. Plastic bags on the other hand are non- biodegradable and toxic. It can cause serious damage to the environment and all living creatures if disposed improperly. Consumers and vendors maybe satisfied in using paper bags because it is an environmentally friendly tool and it can also save our mother nature for the future consumers.
Background of the Study
A vendor or a supplier in a chain is an enterprise that contributes goods or services in a supply chain. Generally, a supply chain vendor manufactures inventory or stock items and sells them to the next link in the chain
The term vendors originally represented property vendors. However, today it means a supplier of goods or any services. Vendors or suppliers are a supply chain management term that means anyone who provides goods or services to a company or individuals. A vendor often manufactures inventorial items, and then sells those items to the customers. Typically vendors are tracked in either a finance system or a warehouse management system. Vendors may or may not function as distributor of goods. If vendors are also manufacturers, they may either build to stock or build to order. Vendor is often a generic term used for suppliers of industries from retail sales to manufacturers to city organizations. Vendors generally apply only to immediate vendors, or the organization that is paid for the goods, rather than to the original manufacturer or the organization performing the service if it is different from the immediate supplier.

Scope and Delimitation of the Study
The study focuses on the level of acceptance of the vendors on the use of paper bags as a package tool. It is used as an alternative for polyethylene or plastic bag to hold purchased products. The study will be conducted at the market of Santa Rosa, Laguna. The study involves field-work distributing survey questionnaires that ask for judgments about using paper and if their lifestyle has been affected. It aims to know the level of acceptance of the vendors on the use of paper bags as regards to the policy implementation, bag description and utilization. The selection of the respondents are only limited at the market area of Santa Rosa, Laguna specifically, vendors, whether the purchased products were the clothing line, food chains and other retail stores. Our study does not intend to degrade the use of plastic bag or to promote using paper bag. The study only aims to determine if the vendors accept paper bag as an alternative package tool perceived by the retailers concerning on the ordinance implemented by the municipality of Santa Rosa, Laguna.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter dwells on the presentation and discussion of relevant information and data as given by both local and foreign literature and studies. The scope of the research of the problem in the need for background information on the topics on the title. The local and foreign scenes are given emphasis through the various materials read which will also provide direction to the researchers.
Foreign Literature
Studies sponsored by independent retailers or government generally agrees that paper bags use less of a litter problem, but plastic bags consume less water and energy. In the end, it is a trade –off. There is a popular misconception that paper bags arm or environmentally friendly than plastic bags, said a 2005 report for the Scottish government. Some of the issues that add to the environmental impact of paper and plastic bags are energy and natural resources. It takes almost 4 times energy to manufacture a paper bag as it does to manufacture a polyethylene bag. Pollution, the majority of Kraft paper is made by cutting wood chops under pressure at high temperatures in a chemical solution as evidence by unmistakable stench commonly associated with paper mills, this use of this toxic chemical contributes to air pollution, such as acid rain and water pollution. The same goes for compostable plastic bags. Recycling, studies indicate it take 91% less energy to recycle of pound of plastic bags. It takes to recycle of pound of paper but recycling rats of either type of disposable bags are extremely low. In fact, 85-90% of paper bags are not recycled and 94.8% of plastic bags are not recycled. The bottom line is recycling of disposable bags still takes energy and resources that could be conserved if more people will imply switch to reusable. All PPEC-member mills have achieved third-party certification that the material they use to make paper bags is responsibly sourced, whether it’s wood chips and sawmill residues from a logging operation or recycled boxes from the back of supermarkets or curbside. Certification and bans on the landfilling of perfectly recyclable paper materials make more sense to the paper industry than some of the other suggestions currently being promoted. The industry’s customers and the public want independent verification that the industry is sourcing its packaging materials responsibly. Third-party certification through agencies endorsed by the Canadian Council of Forests Ministers does that, demonstrating and promoting the sustainability of forest management practices in Canada. In fact, Canada leads the world in forest certification, being home to almost 40% of the world’s certified forests. Landfill bans on perfectly recyclable materials such as old corrugated boxes and paper grocery bags also make sense because they reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfill, extend landfill life, and save taxpayers’ money. They also supply the paper packaging industry with the additional used paper material it needs to make new packaging. Attempts to mandate minimum recycled content levels, while perhaps well-intentioned, are misguided, says PPEC in a recent press release and backgrounder. Environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) results have not provided a clear answer regarding the relative environmental performance of paper versus plastic grocery bags. Paper bags have some attributes, plastic has others. And using life cycle studies that have little relationship to how bags are actually produced in Canada is very misleading. For example, no current studies adequately recognize the Canadian industry’s high use of wood chips and sawmill residues to make bags, or its use of renewable energy (biomass). No LCAs have properly taken into account the effect of plastic litter on aquatic and marine ecosystems. Unlike traditional plastic bags, paper bags are readily biodegradable. Where information that is not representative of actual production conditions in Canada have been disseminated, PPEC has tried to correct the record. There is one ISO-compliant and peer-reviewed LCA that has some Canadian content. As it addresses only paper bags, however, it is highly problematic to use it to make comparative claims relative to plastic bags. For example, the LCA results would be based on models with different system boundaries, assumptions, and geographical contexts. Furthermore, where comparisons have been attempted in other studies, they often do not compare “like to like”, and may not take into account a bag’s carrying capacity, as well as other important packaging functions such as protection, strength, stiffness, advertising support and print quality.
Foreign Studies
With the urging of environmental groups backed by the celebrity fire power of actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the city of Los Angeles banned plastic supermarket bags. The law received added support from Los Angeles Times, which published a house editorial encouraging the city council to enact the ban. Without presenting any quantitative evidence, the editors wrote that plastic bags pose a “huge cost to environment and that reusable totes and paper bags are “the better options”. Unsupported claims to this effect are widespread in the press and among advocacy groups, but they are at odds with scientific data. In 2011, the United Kingdom’s Environment Agency released a study that evaluated in nine categories of environmental impacts caused by different types of supermarket bags. The study found that paper bags have a worst effect on the environment than plastic bags in all nine impact categories, which include global warming potential, abiotic depletion, acidification, eutrophication, human toxicity and freshwater aquatic eco-toxicity, marine aquatic eco-toxicity, terrestrial eco-toxicity and photochemical oxidation. Furthermore, the study found that the average supermarket shopper would have to reuse the same cotton tote from 94 up to 1,899 times before it had less environmental impact than the disposable plastic bags needed to carry the same amount of groceries. This wide varying amount of reuse that is required until the breakeven point is reached depends upon the type of environmental impact, but the median is 314 times, and it is more 179 times for all but one of the nine impact categories. For example, a shopper would need to reuse the same cotton tote 350 times before it caused less fresh water aquatic eco-toxicity than all of the plastic bags that it would last that long (its expected life is 52 uses), in most cases plastic bags will have less environmental impact. The environmental impacts of supermarket bags are dominated by the energy and raw materials needed to manufacture them. Plastic bags are inexpensive because relatively small amounts of energy and raw materials are needed to make them. These same attributes that make plastic bags affordable and light also make them easier on the environment than alternatives like paper bags and reusable cotton totes.
Critics of plastic bags frequently argued that they take hundreds of years to decompose, and the LA Times editors advance this storyline by showing a picture of a dump with a caption that reads “ENDURING: A plastic grocery store bags lies amid the trash at a Calabasas landfill.” Such logic ignores reality in two key respects. First, modern day landfills are generally benign because they have composite liners, clay caps, and runoff collection systems. As explained in a 1999 paper in the journal of environmental engineering, modern landfills have “minimum odor nuisance”, “pose few problems after they are closed”, “and are tributes to sanitary engineering”. Moreover, after being closed, landfills can be used for parks, commercial development, golf courses, nature conservatories, ski slopes, and airfields. Second, even organic materials in landfills commonly take hundreds of years to decompose. Many people are ill-informed of this fact because of websites like WikiAnswers, corporations like Disney, major media outlets like CBS and because they have been misled about this subject since their youth. Such misinformation flows from educational resources like the Environmental Education Exchange’s middle school curriculum on recycling, which states that paper bags take about a month to decompose in a landfill. Nearly the same content appears on EducationWorld.com, which has been honored by Apple, Microsoft and Encyclopedia Britannica as one of the world’s top education resources. These resources invoke the credibility of unidentified scientists to support this claim about paper bags and similar claims about other organic materials, but the scientific facts prove otherwise. The study did find that with moderate reuse, plastic tote made from polypropylene are better for environment than disposable plastic bags, but this doesn’t negate the fact that standard plastic bags are a more environmentally friendly than so-called green alternatives like paper bags and reusable cotton totes. Thus, when government outlaws plastic bags to improve the environment, they actually create more pollution.
Local Literature
The compelling need for the use of paper bags of packaging has gained strong public awareness due to build-up of plastic bags that clogs up the waterways and contributed to flooding. The Department of Science and Technology looks into more ways to make proper packaging more accessible to all and even provide income opportunities. Paper bags are rather expensive to produce, as they come from trees which have been harvested by the logging industry. The pulp used to produce the paper bags requires thousands of gallons of freshwater, and cutting, printing and shipping paper bags consumes a number of fuels. Paper bags are stronger and thicker than plastic bag and can hold more weight without stretching or tearing. The Manila, Philippines, August 31, 2012-Faced with a growing number of local governments imposing plastic bag ban, 14 industry groups today took out a full-page ad in three major daily newspapers to tell the public that bans on plastic bags fail to protect the environment.
Instead the groups, including the Federation of Philippine Industry, the Philippine Chamber of
Commerce and Industry and the Philippine Association of Supermarkets are asking for strict enforcement of the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, known as RA 9003. The timing of their ad comes in response to the latest plastic bag ban in Quezon City, where enforcement of the ordinance starts September 1.
Quezon City is one of the 17 city-municipalities that make up Metro Manila, the National Capital Region. Other Metro Manila cities that have passed plastic bags bans include, Manila itself, Las Piñas, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Pasay City and Pasig. The 14 groups argue in their ad that “The plastic ban does not protect the environment at all! It leads to more paper use, which means more trees cut and higher water and power use. The environment is worse off.” Plastic Bag Ban Report (PBBR) is published by Ted Duboise and reports news about plastic bag bans across the U.S. and around the globe. Founded January 6, 2010, PBBR is now the #1 resource for plastic bag bans. PBBR is a library of over 400 articles and plastic bag legislation. Malacañang voiced support for the use recyclable bags in lieu of plastic bags, which some local government units have banned from markets and other business establishments. Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said that recyclable bags, usually made of canvas, would address concerns by some groups about “one-shot” alternatives like paper bags. But she said the palace will leave it to the individual local government units on how to implement their ordinances banning the use of paper bags.
Local Studies Data from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) shows that more than 80% of the trash retrieved from the country’s shorelines is made up of non-biodegradable materials such as plastics and rubbers. About half of these plastic items thrown in bodies of water were plastic bags followed by food wrappers and plastic containers. These plastics take as much as 20 years before they compose. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said that bulk of more than 8000 metric tons of garbage collected in Laguna on a daily basic was composed of plastics. MMDA Chairman Francis V. Tolentino has also raised the alarm on the hazards posed by dumping of plastic products that clog the Laguna Lake, it had already overburdened drainage systems, resulting in flooding due to heavy rains. “It is unfortunate that plastic items led by plastic bags and styro products remains to be the prime visible pollutants of Laguna Lake. Our findings reinforce what all of us already know. Plastic is our problem and our penchant for patronizing disposable products that magnify this problem.” GAIA representative Gigie Cruz said in a statement. Senator Loren B. Legarda filed a Senate Bill (SB) No. 2579, or the proposed total plastic ban act. The bill hopes to prohibit groceries, supermarkets, public markets, restaurants, fast food chain, department stores, retail stores and other similar establishments from using non-biodegradable plastic bags. Aside from Ms. Legarda’s bill, similar proposed measures are pending at the senate that includes SB No.1103 filed by Senator Manuel V. Villar, SB No.1543 filed by Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago and SB No.2749 filed by Senator Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. These bills seek to regulate the use of plastic bags and mandate the use of recyclable and environment friendly bags in lieu of plastic bags by shopping malls and retailers. The government implements Ordinance No. 4647 states that “all stores in the city shall provide or make available to a customer only recyclable paper carry out bags, reusable bags and compostable plastic bags or carrying out goods or other materials from the point of sale. No one prohibits customers from using bags of any type that they bring to the store themselves or from carrying away goods that are not placed in a bag, in lieu of using bags provided by the store.” The ordinance seeks to minimize plastic pollution in the city and reduce its expenditure in solid waste management disposal. In Santa Rosa, Laguna, Mayor Arlene B. Arcillas told reporters that compliance with the ordinance is 100% after the city government showed that it is serious in implementing the ban. She said that since the ban took place, the city government closed down a number of businesses including a Singaporean Bread Shop, and a Chinese Dim Sum Restaurant for violating the ban. The Mayor said that the city council had to implement the ban after Laguna became one of the worst affected cities. Barangays located along Laguna Lake were submerged in waist-deep flood for weeks. However, Linda Moldez, a 39 years old fish vendor at Santa Rosa Public Market in Laguna, welcomed the ban on plastic even if paper bags are not as easy to use for wet goods like fish. Ms. Moldez said that she now uses banana leaves to wrap the fish she sells before she puts them inside the brown paper bags. Other vendors use old newspaper and telephone directories to wrap the products instead of plastic bags. City Public Information Chief Omar Acosta said that small stores and market vendors are abusing the use of the bag, locally called “plastic labo”. He said that the bags were initially exempted from the ban so that they can be used for wet goods, but some vendors also used them to wrap the product. It only proves that the level of acceptability of the used of brown paper bags by Vendors are moderate; not too high but not too low based on the study.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND PROCEDURES
This chapter discusses the method and the procedures that dictate the conduct of this study. It includes the method of the research to be used, comprehensive description of research design, respondents of the study, sample and sampling techniques, the instrument and techniques to be used in validation of the instruments, data gathering procedures and the statistical treatment that will be applied on the gathered data.
Research Design
The researchers decided to use descriptive type of research in this study.
Descriptive research describes data and characteristics about the population or phenomenon being studied. It is also the gathering and presentation of the statement of fact. Descriptive research design, the focus of which is to obtain respondents perception as regard to the use of paper bags of the vendors. Its other purpose is to obtain the respondents remedies to the factors cited.
Description of the Respondents
The result of this could be possible with the help of the respondents. The researchers believe that the primary source of the information can be obtained through the honest participation of the respondents.
The respondents of the study were the vendors of the market of Santa Rosa, Laguna wherein:
Table 1 Respondents Gender | Female | Male | Total | Vendors | 66 | 34 | 100 |
The questionnaire was the main tool used to gather the needed data and information for this study. The questionnaire used in this study were translated in Filipino for better understanding since our respondents are vendors and it is necessary to protect the privacy of the participants.
Data Gathering Procedure
The survey covered the estimated number of vendors in the market of Santa Rosa, Laguna in five days. The researchers first submitted a permission letter to the administration office of the market of Santa Rosa in order to conduct the distribution and retrieval of survey questionnaire in the vicinity of the market. The researchers distributed the questionnaire in the different retail stores. The vendor personally submits the survey questionnaire to the researchers.
It is therefore, hoped that this study would give recommendations and suggestions that are consistent with the available data. A library of the University and internet is one of the sources of data gathering procedure.
Sampling Procedure
The researchers made used accidental sampling under non-probability sampling as sampling procedure, wherein the researchers were able to distribute questionnaire to 100 respondent vendors in the span of survey time.
Statistical Treatment of Data
The researcher will use different statistical tools in providing a systematic way of organizing the analyzed data will be gathered in order to answer the question depicted in the study. Simple statistical measures were employed in this study after the data were gathered through the questionnaire. Data were tallied, tabulated, analyzed and interpreted. The statistical tools used in this study are the following: 1. Percentage. It shows the relationship of the part of the whole. Researchers have been used this to transform proportion to a percent by multiplying by 100. The formula would be:
%= fn×10
Where:
% = percentage f = frequency n = total number of respondents
2. Weighted mean. The weighted mean was used to measure the central tendency using the frequency distribution and also to measure the evaluation of the respondents in the questionnaire. The formula would be:
X= ∑fxN
Where:
X = Weighted Mean F = Frequency x = Scale Rate N= Total number of respondents
3. Arbitrary scale. The degree of their responses to the variables is done by assigning verbal interpretation to the given weight. The obtained mean values will be interpreted using the four point scale as shown below:
Mean Matrix Scale Value | Mean Range | Interpretation |
4. The Chi-square Test. This was used to determine if there is significant between the implementation and the description of paper bag and also if there is significant between item utilization and description of paper bag to the levels of acceptance of the vendors. x2 = ∑(O-e)2 e
Where: x2- Chi-square 0-observe cases E-expected or theoretical frequency DF-degree of freedom
E= (column total) (raw total) grand total
DF= (no. of column-1) (no. of raw-1)
