Background of the study

Introduction

The global community has increasingly recognized the pressing need for

sustainable waste management practices to mitigate environmental degradation and

address resource scarcity. As a response to mounting concerns over waste generation

and its detrimental impacts on ecosystems, governments, organizations, and

communities worldwide are exploring innovative strategies to promote recycling and

reduce landfill waste. One such strategy gaining traction is the implementation of

community recycling programs. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the economic

and environmental feasibility of assessing a community recycling program in Poblacion

Tupi South Cotabato.

With a growing population and consumption rates, Poblacion Tupi South

Cotabato faces significant challenges related to waste management, including

escalating landfill costs, limited landfill space, and environmental pollution. Introducing a

comprehensive recycling program presents an opportunity to address these challenges

while promoting resource conservation, pollution prevention, and community

engagement. this study will also examine the environmental impacts of implementing a

community recycling program. By diverting recyclable materials from landfills, such a

program has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve natural

resources, and mitigate pollution. An environmental assessment will evaluate the

potential benefits in terms of energy savings, reduced carbon emissions, conservation of

raw materials, and improvements in air and water quality. Furthermore, this study will

explore the social and behavioral dimensions of community recycling, including public

awareness, participation rates, and stakeholder engagement. Understanding community

attitudes towards recycling, as well as barriers and incentives for participation, will

inform strategies for program implementation and outreach efforts.

By conducting a comprehensive Assessing Community Recycling Program of Economic

and Environmental Perspectives Viability in Poblacion Tupi, South Cotabato.

The proponent goal is to provide valuable insights and evidence-based

recommendations for sustainable waste management practices and to assess the

policymakers, local authorities, and community stakeholders in Poblacion Tupi South

Cotabato

 Assess the current waste management practices within the community to determine

the need and potential benefits of implementing a recycling program.

 Evaluate the economic feasibility of establishing and operating a community

recycling program, including the costs associated with infrastructure setup,

collection, sorting, processing, and marketing of recyclable materials.

 Analyze the potential economic benefits of a recycling program, such as cost savings

through reduced waste disposal fees, revenue generation from the sale of recyclable

materials, and job creation in the recycling industry.

 Examine the environmental impacts of implementing a community recycling program,

including reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, and natural

resource depletion associated with waste disposal and production of virgin materials.

 Assess the potential environmental benefits of increased recycling rates, such as

conservation of landfill space, preservation of natural habitats, and mitigation of

pollution.
