Literature Survey
 A staggering 2.7 million tons of plastic waste are generated in the Philippines each
year, and an estimated 20 percent ends up in the ocean. The Philippines is the third
largest contributor with an estimated 0.75 million metric tons of mismanaged plastic
entering the ocean every year. Plastic debris were still among the top wastes collected
in the area of Sablayan. Aside from these, there are also plastic wastes in the 24 to 25
tons of trash generated by the town everyday. Broken glass is difficult to sort, most
manufacturers require recyclable glass to be sorted. According to Recycle Across
America, “More than 28 billion glass bottles and jars end up in landfills every year
that is the equivalent of filling up two Empire State Buildings every three weeks.
”The major environmental impact of glass production is caused by atmospheric
emissions from melting activities. "Tile prices have been increased by 10% with
effect in a month. The prices have been revised thrice in the past three months due to
the increased prices of natural gas and other fuels." The jump of 50% in spot gas
prices in one month could also compound the cost inflation problems of tile
companies. The purpose of this study is to test if wastes plastic and crushed glass can
be an alternative component in making tiles, to help lessen the amount of waste
pollution in our community and at the same time solve another problem, which is the
increasing price of tiles that is commonly use in different part of our house. We want
to help our community by creating a lessen amount of tiles. And to provide a safe and
responsible environment in terms of recycling plastic waste and some hazardous
materials like broken glass. And to Save environment for the better future.

The Potential Commercialization research product/ process/ Idea

Human plastic waste (food wrapper, plastic bottles, plastic bottle caps, plastic grocery bags,
plastic straws) can be found in the environment. This plastic waste are harmful to our
environment and health. A 2.7 million tons of plastic waste are generated in the Philippines
each year, and an estimated 20 percent ends up in the ocean. The price increase of tiles is
affected by the intermittent trading of raw materials.
Waste plastic and crushed glass can be alternative component in making tiles. This study will
help to lessen the amount of waste pollution in our community and at the same time, solve
another problem, which is the increasing price of tiles that is commonly use in interior design
in your House. Silicon is the important constitute in making tiles. Plastic are high molecular
weight organic polymers composed of various elements such as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen,
silicon which is located in talc, because talc mineral is made up mainly of magnesium, silicon
oxygen. The sand is commonly used to make glass comprised of a small grains of quartz,
crystal made up of silicon dioxide, which is also known as silica, this materials are commonly
used in making tiles, that will help to create an e-tiles(eco-tiles) that is durables, impact
resistant , and less in water absorption capacity.
The local government unit primarily responsible for the effective and efficient solid waste
management, particularly garbage segregation and disposal. It will work on supporting
sustainable goal no. 12 also known as the responsible consumption and production that
includes target focused on environmental sound the management of all waste through
prevention, recycling and reuse and reduction of plastic waste. The increasing rate of
commercialized titles will help to convey the consumers to buy an eco-friendly tiles which is
called eco-tiles aside from it’s affordability it will help to lessen the plastic waste and broken
glass that pollutes in our environment. This also provide opportunity to inspire others and
enable them discover their full potential and contribute with their full potential and contribute
with their own innovation that will benefit the country.

Objectives
A. Main Objectives
- The main objectives of this study is to determine the effectiveness of crashed glass and
plastic waste as an alternative component in making tiles.

B. Standard Functions of the Product

- The function of this product is to lessen the increasing price of tiles that is commonly use in
different part of our house that sets the look, feel, and vibe of your own home and to lessen
the amount of waste pollution in our community. It will work on supporting sustainable goal
no. 12 also known as the responsible consumption and production that includes target focused
on environmentally sound management of all waste through prevention, reduction, recycling
and reuse of plastic waste.

C. Standard Operational Flow

- Since tiles is commonly made of glass, sand, concrete, talc and other material. Silicon is the
important constitute in making tiles. plastics are high molecular weight organic polymers
composed of various elements such as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and silicon Which is located
in talc, because talc mineral is made up mainly of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. The sand
is commonly used to make glass comprised of a small grains of quartz, crystal, made up of
silicon dioxide, which is also known as silica, this materials are commonly used In making
tiles, that will help to create an e-tiles (eco tiles)that is durable, impact resistant, and less in
water absorption capacity.

Methodology

A. MATERIALS
Before the experimentation, the researcher will gather all the materials such as: Crashed
glass, weighing scale, plastic waste, flat bar, sand, white cement, dye resin, water, epoxy
resin, compressor.
B. PROCEDURES

The first stage in producing tiles is gathering the materials needed. Plastic trash will be
ground into small particles when the materials are collected. Low become crushed glass,
broken glass must be pulverized. The weight of the raw material must be measured next. The
raw ingredients must be mixed together after the proper weight of each raw element is
calculated. The mixture will then be placed in a molder and heated for 1.5 days in the sun. It
will then be baked for 15 minutes at 400℉ degrees Fahrenheit. The dye resin is then
combined with epoxy resin and poured onto the tiles, where it is allowed to dry for 24 hours.

A. MOLDER ASSEMBLY

The cut flat bar will be arc welding with the size of 5 inches width and length.

B. BLUEPRINT
FLATBARS
C. PRODUCT FUNCTION TESTING
Water absorption capacity test and impact resistant test of crashed glass and plastic waste
will be tested.
C. RISK MANAGEMENT
The only hazardous materials are the broken glass. We'll also use safety equipment like
glass to collect broken glasses. When it comes to grinding the broken glass, we'll ask the
assistance of experts to see if we can pulverize it with equipment.
D. LIMITATIONS
For now, the focus of this study is to test if wastes plastic and crushed glass can be an
alternative component in making tiles, to help lessen the amount of waste pollution in our
community and at the same time solve another problem, which is the increasing price of tiles
that is commonly use in different part of our house.

Economic/ market and social relevance

Aside From its affordability it will also help to lessen the plastic waste and broken glass that
pollutes our environment. The locally home owners that wants to buy a cost efficient titles.
This will work on supporting sustainable goal no. 12 also known as the responsible
consumption and production that includes target focused on environmentally sound
management of all waste through prevention, reduction, recycling, reuse and reduction of
plastic waste. Also the republic Act (RA) 90003, otherwise known as the Ecological solid
waste management Act 200, provides the necessary policy framework, institutional
mechanisms unites (LGUs) to achieve 25% waste reduction through establishing an
integrated solid waste management plans. This will contribute to the Philippine market and
inspire other innovators to create their own innovation and attract international investor to led
some support to our very own product, this will help our country by introducing the talent of
filipinos in creating a solution to the countries major problem this will boost our economy
and help thousands of life.

Budget Justification
I am convinced that this project will require a significant sum of money, as I am unsure of
the exact amount. Yet, I believe that this project will be worthwhile. The instruments are also
readily found on the market, So I have no doubts in terms of time, I am confident that in a
month or two my project will be published as complete.
