Project Proposal
I. Introduction
A million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute and the number will jump
another 20% by 2023, creating an environmental crisis. Most plastic bottles used for soft drinks and
water are made from polyethylene terephthalate (Pet), which is highly recyclable (Laville & Taylor,
2017). Plastics are a versatile material that can be a valuable asset to corporate Green recycling
program. Businesses can greatly reduce destructive waste output and cut costs associated with waste
management fees through a Green recycling program with Complete Recycling. The benefit of Complete
Recycling is that it can able to sell materials to. Plastics are often recycled to make items such as clothes,
carpet, containers, bottles, plastic lumber, films, grocery bags, molding materials, and lawn and garden
products, to name a few (Complete Recycling, n.d.).
One deep solution for plastic is Ecobricking for it embody regenerative principles that point in a
healthy direction. An Ecobrick is a plastic bottle packed to a set density with used, clean and dry plastic
to achieve a building block that can be used over and over again. Ecobricks can also be packed with
other non-biological un-recyclables that, uncontained, are toxic to the environment such as styrofoam,
wires, small batteries, etc. Ecobricks are designed to leverage the longevity and durability of plastic, to
create an indefinitely reusable, cradle to cradle, building block. They are made by cleaning, drying and
then packing plastic into a PET drinking bottle. Ecobricks are an exciting way that individuals,
communities, and companies can start their immediate transition from plastic towards ever greener
harmony with the Earth’s cycles (ecobricks.org, n.d.).
The proposed program is Ecobrick Training Program for Barangay Sto. Tomas Community with
the theme of "Ecobricks Enterprise: a stepping stone for Economic Well-Being" that will help the
residents of the said barangay especially the out of school youths and unemployed residents to form a
business organization which can be an opportunity for them to develop skills in making ecobricks,
running a business, and earn a living. At the same time they could also help in their very own barangay
to reduce the waste. This project is about forming a small scale business where the out of school youths
and unemployed residents will be the ones to make the ecobricks made out of collected plastic bottles
to be filled with sachet wrappers inside as the raw materials and those ecobricks will be supplied to the
hollow block builders, residential developers, and furniture makers who have the greater skill and
resources to transform the ecobricks to a finished product like various indoor furniture, garden spaces,
walls and even full-scale buildings. Some members of the participants in the program will be trained in
the running of the business specifically in the aspects of management, financing, and marketing. This
Ecobricks Training Program will not benefit only the residents of the barangay but also the environment
for it can remove plastic from the biosphere and out of the ineffective industrial recycling system.
Scope of the Project

Program". Questions that will be asked will be regarding to the availability of the trash, specifically pet
bottles and sachet wrappers in the community. Also, it will partake in the presence of unemployed
