BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Davao City generates an average of

1,012 tons of trash a day but daily
collection would only cover 292 tons.

The landfill’s capacity is only between

700,000 to 800,000 tons but due to the
City's fast piling-up of garbage,it has
already reached the maximum capacity
level of 900,000 tons.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

General Objective:

To develop an efficient way to effectively reduce

and utilize plastic waste.

1.
To determine the right
proportion of sand and
plastic in making LDPE-
bonded paver blocks for
pedestrian and light traffic
areas.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
2. 3. 4.
To conduct compressive To compare the

RESEARCH DESIGN

Experimental Research

- any research conducted with a

scientific approach, where a set of
variables are kept constant while the
other set of variables are being
measured as the subject of experiment.
