I. INTRODUCTION
The Philippines is blessed to have lands and climates that favor one of the best
mango varieties in the world ─ Philippine Carabao Mango. There are some mango
processing companies’ produces super quality and world-class mango products, and it
carries the world-renowned, brand, which has been in the local and international market
for many years (Duke CGGC, 2017). In industrial production, food manufacturing
industries generate a large amount of food waste. A large quantity of raw materials used
(Tesfaye, 2017). Every day, thousands of tons of mango peels and seeds headed to open
dumpsites left to rot, the mango waste piled high in dumpsites released foul odors and
Mango peel waste, a by-product from pulp processing units, is an essential source
amount of mango waste generated can be very high; it has been recorded as high as
30%to 50% of the total weight of the fruit. In connection, a circular economy (CE), has
developed the potential to preserve the environment, generate new economic growth, and
of the circular economy where the food waste is converted to a more useful and value-
added product. It does not only maximize the profit of the fruit processing industries but
Thus, the researchers focused on valorizing mango peel organic industrial waste
into a crispy delicious flavor, mango peel chips. This study will integrate the concept of
circular economy to all food industries that produced mango products by redirecting
mango peel waste into “chips” food products that may allow profitability and
environmental benefits from the high contaminant of food waste. To a certain extent, this
study will be of use as a means of assessing the disposal of mango peel waste in a safe,
Statement of Objectives
The study focused on how to optimize or reduce the waste of mango peels by
producing into a quality product such as Mango Peel Chips that meets the demand of the
target market. Moreover, the results of the study will be beneficial to the following:
Community. This will help the community in gaining a thorough perception of the
circular economy in application to supply chain management. This will also help them
provide a set of resources to deepen their understanding of the fruit peels waste that has
been emerging in the present time, and in realizing the benefit of making sustainable and
economic benefits to the mango Industries. Recycling and reusing mango peel, fibers,
and waste materials is an effective method to enhance sustainability within the food
stakeholder relationships and reduced the use of material and energy to lower costs,
mitigating the risks associated with fluctuating costs of waste disposals. Thus, a circular
economy creates entirely new profit streams that can be achieved by food industries.
Economy. The development of a circular economy model can bring greater local
employment at the entry level. In addition, it has the potential to create new jobs and
boost economic growth. In this circular sphere, profit opportunities may come from
playing in new markets, cutting costs off with waste and energy reductions, and the
training of labor and local income generation, the population's awareness of consumption
patterns, saving of natural resources and raw materials, and mitigation of waste disposals
to local government. Moving towards a more circular economy could deliver benefits
such as improving the security of the supply of raw materials, increasing competitiveness,
Environment. Mango peels thrown into landfills have become a big global
problem. Every day, thousands of tons of mango peels and seeds headed to open
dumpsites left to rot, the mango waste piled high in dumpsites released foul odors and
attracted disease-carrying insects. This study has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and the use of raw materials and optimize agricultural productivity. Moving
towards a more circular economy could help reduce pressure on the environment.
Future Researchers. This study might be a basis for developing researchers in the
future. This study can be one of their references in conducting a study about the Circular
The circular economy in political and business circles has defeated the
deficiencies of conventional straight working models (De Angeles, 2018). This concept
recently embraces of new business models that encourage design for re-use and improve
(logistics), financial flows, and information flows (Ellen MacArthur, 2017). This,
(such as the ones related to energy usage and carbon emissions) and the implications of
mechanical turn of events, ecological and human well-being, and monetary development
are drivers for ongoing asset use and low-carbon improvement systems. That incorporates
the utilization of the round economy (CE) idea. A focal topic of the CE idea is the
valuation of materials inside a shut circled framework with the expectation to take into
Circular economic models are making a significant change in perspective for store
network supervisors. By pulling away from old straight models that followed the example
of "produce, use, and dispose of," organizations are both lessening their effect on the
climate and reducing their complete expense of the business (iGPS , 2019).
The amount of mango waste generated can be very high; it has been recorded as
high as 30% to 50% of the total weight of the fruit. The utilization of this waste is both a
necessity and a challenge. The volume of production and yield of mango have
significantly deteriorated. Dried mango peel contains 30 ± 2.5% (w/w) of reducing sugars
Chips. It is generally made of deep fried pork rind. Its origin can be traced from
an agricultural region of Spain named Andalucia ,where this has become a part of the
regular dishes of countries colonized by Spain. Since then, chips derives its name from
the Andalucian word. From its original form, chips has evolved to different kinds in
various places in the Philippines. In Sta. Maria, Bulacan, chips also takes its new form as
microwavable chips. Instead of pork rind, the people in Camiling, Tarlac, Philippines use
pork belly as their main ingredient in making chips. Aside from pork, chips can also be
made using beef, meat of buffalo, frog, insects, chicken, and other farm animals
(Inocian,2016).
In the context of chips, its manufacturing has spread around the globe, most
especially to those countries with strong Spanish influences like Latin America and
the US Hispanic states. It is pork scratching in UK, which has started in the 1800s at
Black Country, where the Industrial Revolution begins. The food is commonly cooked
and eaten by the working class. The preparation in cooking pork scratching is almost
similar with Carcar’s chips. In 1930s, the pork scratching business has become a big
snack industry with over 20 million bags a year in UK, which eventually an icon in the
culture and tradition of every society. In most places, these are commercialized for
gustatory delight. Delicacies are landmark symbols of certain places. Carcar City is one
of the bustling cities in the southern Cebu, has been known because of its chips delicacy.
In Carcar City, Philippines, the chips business has been introduced by Patricio Paras and
Anunciacion Alesna - Paras during World War II. Patricio Paras is a henchman of the
Japanese soldiers, where he observes that the Japanese soldiers only consume the pork’s
lean meat and set aside its rind. He gets the rind and uses it as the main ingredient of
chips. Given the fact that chips is one of the famous delicacies in Carcar, it is relevant to
In the Visayas, Cebu is known for chips, which attracts many tourists in the
region. Cebu is one of the preferred tourist destinations in the Philippines, which has a
relatively buoyant demand for its finest native delicacies and boosts its tourism sector. In
Cebu’s population, and contributes to the increase of total export income. Chips does
not only satisfy cravings of the palate; but it reflects Cebu’s rich history and culture
(Inocian, 2016).
Mango is the more popularly grown and cultivated in Cebu, sold as ripe or unripe, and
eaten raw, cooked or processed. It is relative large in size with smooth, yellow skin when
ripe and very flavorful and sweet – offering a rather pure kind of mango taste without
hints of apple or other fruit flavors. The Philippine Carabao Mango tastes so great it was
recognized in 1995 by the Guinness Book of World Records as the sweetest in the world
(Melanie, 2017).
Although the soil of Cebu Province is not great for the popular rice, corn, and
other crops being produced in most parts of the country, it is great for various fruit
varieties including mangoes. To capitalize and maximize the production of fruits in Cebu,
its business people take advantage the use of technology that processes fruits. They use
science and technology to produce, manage, and preserve fruit products. Various fruit
companies of small and medium sizes flock to Cebu using it as their base and center of
production by establishing not only offices but also plants and machinery
(TravellingCebu.com, 2021).
The research of study should be about the SDG goals attainment and impact
volume of waste, waste disposal method, cost of waste disposal, and clearance cost that
