ABSTRACT
This section of the research paper is the summary of the overall content of the research paper.
Improper segregation of plastic bottles has been one of the factors affecting the environment, that is why
the researchers come up with this study. The researchers looked for a different persperctive on how to
follow the "Basurathon" that is implemented in the community. The basurathon is a program to reduce the
garbages in the environment and to discipline the members of the community regarding the improper
waste disposal of their wastes. Basurathon is a program that will be a huge help for the environment for it
to be greener and cleaner. To be able to have accurate informations, the researchers gathered different
sources and used different research methods. The researchers used survey questionnaires to identify the
different effects of the research paper they made, to the students. Moreover, the survey questionnaires
contains the effects of transforming plastic bottles as decorative pots and how it will help them in the
future. Thus, the researchers come up with the research title, " recycled decorative pots: effects on
SBCA's bottle waste management", to conserve and recycle plastic bottles as decorative pots in order to

community. The plastic bottles is a bottled that also constructed with a high-density plastic. Plastic
Bottles are usually used to store liquids of different products. Because of it, it is easier for the people to
One of the most problem of the people is how to manage the bottles. Recycling is one of the
solutions in this kind of problem, and it has been an important aspect of life for the past thirty years. As
the year go past, the amount of plastic are also rapidly growing. But it has been proven that recycling our
waste products has improved our world to be cleaner and more sanitary.
According to the news about the environmental impacts of plastic water bottles, the water bottle
industry: an industry that thrived on consumerism and exceeded the boundaries of luxury by becoming an
essential item in an average person's life. Despite that 1500 plastic water bottles are being used every
second in the United States alone. These stats make the United States the biggest bottled water market in
the world, strongly profiting the likes of Coke, Pepsi, and Nestle who own and commercialize some of the
largest bottled water companies. However, this multimillion dollar industry does not come without a cost
- a different type of cost that is unfortunately being paid for by the environment.
Recent years the used of bottles have been slow due to the awareness of its negative impact
spreading amongst the general public. But the reduction of plastic bag usage has been holding the
spotlight. However, people cannot just throw away what they have been accustomed in a long years.
Different solutions have been processed but it all depends to the people on how they will adapt these.
Several examples of high plastic bottle usage is impacting the environmental includes:
overflowing landfills, high amount of fossil fuel, and the damage creating in the surface of the ocean with
plastic products. It also includes here who causes these problems. Though, this study still controlling the
production of plastic water bottles which requires up to 17 million barrels oil each year and utilizes the
petroleum product polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The researchers continue to explore how to derive

Besides of following a simple reduce, reuse, recycle, the researchers found out the alternative and
easy way on managing the plastic waste bottle. Since, whole Alitagtag are having a project which the
schools, private and public together with the community, the researchers take it as advantage. A project
entitled “Recycled Decorative Pots: Effects on SBCA’s Bottle Waste Management” is for the students to
build and instead of leaving the bottles behind, it also helps their environment highlights the beauty of its
surrounding.
Plastic Bottles are used to store liquids such as water, soft drinks, cooking oil, inks and etc. But
with rapid growth in population, it becomes difficult to control the huge amount of residual materials
generated from enormous industrial activities. The researchers came up with this study to be able to help
SBCA reduce the bottles and retaining the cleanliness of the school. This research aims to answer the
following questions:
1. What are the student’s perception in using plastic bottles as decorative pots?
2. How does making and using recycled decorative pots affect the student’s in the following?
b. Behavior in segregation
3. What could the SBCA do to motivate students in supporting Basurathon through making recycled
decorative pots?

the environment.
The main concern of the study is to find a solution to the problems of St. Bridget College
Alitagtag, specifically the bottle waste management which is the most evident. The researchers noticed
that most of the students are buying bottled water instead of using tumbler. This study aims to entertain
and teach students on how they will use the bottles without harming and causing a problem to their
Since, the “Basurathon” project is held in Alitagtag the researchers came up with the idea of
making a decorative pot using the used bottled water of students. They can also use other equipment
made from other recyclable materials which can be found inside their rooms or in their house. In this, the
students will learn how to manage and reduce the bottles management waste; and maintain the cleanliness
of the surroundings of the school. It also covers the suggested project that the researchers have proposed
To sum it up, this study will solely focus on the effects of bottle waste management and see the
student’s perception towards this project. This study will only be conducted to the Junior High School
(JHS) students of St. Bridget College Alitagtag Inc. starting from Grade 8 up to Grade 10. It will not
discuss and/or elaborate the other problems in the school – aside from the bottle waste management – nor
discuss a different way to deal with the said problem of the study. The researchers chose to focus on the
said project with a simple way to deal with the most evident problem in the school.

CHAPTER II
This chapter presents the related literature and studies after the thorough in-depth search done by
the researchers. This will serve as an aid to fully understand the research to be done and the terms and
Recycling bottles imposes great chance of environmental cleanliness. Nowadays, the percentage
of improper waste segregation increases. An equal counterpart of reusing waste materials is repurposing.
According to the studies of Sackett (2016), reusing old objects helps to clean our environment. Pertaining
to the plastic bottles we throw away, it is a great idea to reforge it to something else. This factor is called
"repurposing". It adds a particular sense of satisfaction while doing your part for the environment. In
some manner, it is also recycling. This is the best way to reduce those piles of bottles. Other ways on how
to repurpose plastic bottles is using it as a decoration. Pupils use plastic bottles for making Christmas
decoration. Almost all of the cycles of distributing our trashes are similar only they differ on what is the
product of it. People buying refreshments especially students improperly throw these bottles after usage.
Not only it distracts cleanliness of the surroundings, it affects the discipline of students in terms of
orderliness. With repurposing, people might find solutions to eliminate unwanted plastic bottle waste.
It was found out in the study of Rose (2017) that reusing items also saves money. Rather than
purchase new boxes when moving, reassemble those boxes that have been flattened and stored and pack
up your household goods. Utilize sturdy boxes for storing everything from paperwork to holiday
ornaments. Furthermore, reusing increases complexity of materials. This allows workers or students to
save items, money, and energy finding new objects to use. Another example is the plastic bottle pots.
Buying pots on shops will costs you a lot on planting. So, reusing bottles would save money and also adds

a contributing factor for the cleanliness of our surroundings. People that has enough money buy new
As mentioned by Palafox (2017), the Philippines also promotes the waste diversion requirements
in the form of composting techniques, e.g. vermi-composting. Another form of waste diversion
requirement is recycling of non-biodegradable materials, e.g. plastics, rubber, paper, etc. Finally,
collected solid wastes often end up in a dumpsite. The Philippines restricts the operation of open
dumpsites but allows the operation of controlled dumps. Some wastes also end up in sanitary landfills,
which is the most preferred kind of waste disposal site as it is designed and managed in such a way that
the LGUs have control over important environmental impacts arising from the development and operation
of the facility. Vermi-composting is the product of the decomposition process using various species of
worms, usually red wigglers, white worms, and other earthworms, to create a mixture of decomposing
vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and vermicast. Vermicast is the end-product of the
breakdown of organic matter by earthworms. Other than the common recycling method, researchers and
other environmentalist found a way to abolish waste for good. Using compost and dumpsites also saves
space. Rather dumping waste in different places, dumpsites collects, segregates, and piles those rubbish
materials.
People in urban sectors experience difficulties in segregating due to lack of space, incompetent
surroundings, and even poor facilities. Although some people consider waste free surroundings as
primary concerns, they practice minimal disposal techniques. Based on the study by Bennagen,
Nepumuceno, and Covar (2012), Among households that did not practice waste segregation, 53% cited
lack of time or a troublesome chore while 36% indicated that it was of no use since garbage collectors
dumped all the wastes into the same truck. People especially in the middle-class find this reason to be
sensible because they consider segregation as unimportant. Composting would also be impossible to those
who are at the urban places because of the absence of a yard or a garden. Another problem was the lack of

time. Forty-four percent of non-segregating households were unsure of composting methods. Unlike in
rural places, they manage to compost easily resulting to higher percentage of cleanliness.
Maintaining the cleanliness of the environment is a crucial act that must be done by humans.
With several techniques that the community do, lessening the filth will be undeniably important. From the
3R’s (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) to composting, communities gradually increase their own knowledge on
The plastics industry envisions itself to be a proactively adaptive downstream industry that is able
to fully supply the growing and changing demands of the domestic and export market, create employment
opportunities with a positive well-informed on the environmental image and perception. As defined by
the website Industry.gov, Plastic is a widespread and pervasive material that is used by a multitude of
industries in the production of numerous products. In the Philippines, industries such as the electronics,
construction, food, cosmetics, packaging, and automotive are aligned with the viability of the plastics
industry. As the industrial sector is continuously emerging, the ability of reusing waste is counteracting
within its breach. As observed by the study of Science World (2008), plastic waste arising from
packaging, buildings, transport vehicles, farming and industrial processes are valuable resources. It tells
that the production of every ton of paper bags consumes four (4) times more than the production of
plastics bags. The goal of producing products requires packaging. Plastics are commonly used by
factories in order to lessen natural resources use. The government implement certain laws which abide the
usage of plastics.
As mentioned in the research of EX corporation (2010), In the Philippines, there are several law
and regulations relevant to recycling: the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (RA9003),
Executive Order 301, and Department of Environment and Natural Resources Administrative Order No.

These regulations maintain the vulnerability of the environment by promoting frameworks which makes
On the agricultural sector, they make use their own plastic waste in order to reuse it again several
times. According to Felongco (2018), the impression of plastics as the environmental antagonist are now
shifting with the environmental advantages of using recycled plastic materials in protecting vegetable
plantation. Plastic wastes coming from factories are manufactured and restored to be used again. It is a
effective way to discipline fellow people in proper manner of plastic management. He also added that
recycled plastics could be used for long term uses which suites the growing plants in the agricultural
Major sectors like the industrial production make use of plastic as a medium of packaging and
advertising. About every 10 products made, 9 uses plastic as a way of protection and preservation.
Factories that produces degradable products tends to use plastic. Manufactures like food, fresh vegetables
and biodegradable products that spoils uses plastic. The implementation of laws which counteracts the
misuse of plastic aids people to properly segregate waste. In summary, all the components regarding on
reusing or recycling needs manpower and severe comprehension. All sectors dealing with plastic waste
Waste plastics contaminate food, water and air. Many are calling for a global ban on single-use
plastics because throwing them “away” often means into river systems and then into the world’s oceans.

inaugural annual meeting for members of The UK Plastics Pact. It is hoped it will engage Britain's best
scientists and innovators to help move the country towards more circular economic and sustainable
approaches to plastics. According to Grover (2018), it is a starting journey to totally transforming the
plastic system in the UK and tackling the urgent problem of plastic pollution. This starts with innovation
and crucial help from partners and the people of the environment.

Table 1. shows the students perception in using plastic bottles as decorative pots. As presented by
the data, the respondents agreed that the use of plastic bottles helps the environment and themselves. The
highest mean presented by the data is 4.7. This mean was taken from the perception of the students that
decorating plastic bottles promotes arts and designs and it eliminates plastic waste. The lowest mean
depicted by the table is 4.2 which states that the decorating plastic bottles becomes hobby of students. The
Perception is influenced by internal and external factors. One of the central assumptions of the
constructivist approach to perception is that perception is not determined entirely by external stimuli. As a
consequence, it is assumed that emotional and motivational states, together with expectation and culture,
may influence people’s perceptual hypotheses and thus their visual perception.
In a matter of fact that the word "perceptions" is frequently used in daily life and in literature, it
may be assumed that everyone knows what it is and unnecessary to define it. However, perception is
complex and its meaning depends on context. Peterson and Yaakobi (1979) defined "perceptions of

According to Quick and Nelson (1997), the three major characteristics that influence our
perception of other people or object are: the perceiver, the perceived object and the situation. The
Perceiver when an individual looks at the target and attempts to interpret what he/she sees. The Perceived
object, characteristics of the target, which has been, observed also affects the individual’s perception. The
physical attributes, appearance and behavior of other persons in the situation also influences the

Within the academic discipline of social psychology, it is commonly accepted that attitudes and
behavior are related. It seems intuitive that attitudes influence behavior, but the opposite is also true.
Behavior can influence attitude. For example, a behavior such as participating in a river cleanup as part of
a class requirement might change a person’s previous 12 attitude toward an environmental problem.
People may adjust their attitudes so that they are congruent with their behaviors or a person’s attitude
toward an object or concept may govern the related behavior (Smith & Mackie, 2003, p. 291).
Table 2.2 shows the effect of plastic bottles to the behavior of the students in segregation. As
presented by the data, the respondents agreed that the study helps the student’s behavior. The highest
mean from the table is 4.6. The mean was taken from the table that student’s learned how to reuse plastic
bottles and realized the importance of cleanliness in environment. The lowest mean has a total of 4.5 that
states the students learn how to segregate plastic trash properly. The composite mean has a total of 4.5.
According to LaPiere (1934, p. 230), “By definition a social attitude is a behavior pattern,
anticipatory set or tendency, predisposition to specific adjustment to designated social situations, or, more
simply, a conditioned response to social stimuli.” Behavior towards plastic bags may change if policies
help reduce the significant social stimulus that plastic bags currently provide in stores in the US. Too
many factors beyond personal control might also cause a conflict between attitude and behavior (Smith &

Mackie, 2003, p.324). Current practices within the plastic industry and store marketing may provide
stimuli that are too significant for the shopper to overcome despite potential conflicts between attitude
Table 2.3 shows the waste management practice of the students. As presented by the data, the
respondents agreed that the study helps the students apply waste management. The highest mean from the
table has a total of 4.6. The mean was taken from the table that students found a new technique in
segregating plastic waste on the campus. The lowest mean has a total of 4.0. The mean states that the
number of plastic waste inside the campus has been diminished. The composite mean has a total of 4.3.
Proper collection is a solution to the country’s waste problem. Unfortunately, disposal would not
be the most and sole answer to this concern (Guzman et al., 2010). Until recently, the disposal of
municipal solid waste does not attract much public attention. From prehistory through the present day, the
favored means of disposal was simply to dump solid waste outside the city and village limits (Enger &
Smith, 2006).
According to the Aeckerman (1997), waste management is an integrated part of the sustainable
development. As population continues to grow and economy expands, there is a need to ensure the waste
generated is properly manage on order to preserve the existing environment for future generations. Waste

As part of the sustainable development goals the only objective that generally includes the
address of children as part of the solution towards effective waste management is the section where it is
stated that people need to be made aware of the impact of waste on their heath, well-being and the
environment.

Children or young adults are often instrumental in bringing about change in society. Research
through the years has shown that among children and their parents, the children can be effective
advocates in changing their parents’ lifestyles and this process create a positive or negative influence with
regards to environmental matters (Kiev Declaration, 2003; Ballantyne et al , 2006; Lui and Kaplan; 2006;
Rickenson and Lundholm; 2008). In the real world, however, children are often not included in the
critical decisions that are made in their communities where they live.
