Abstract

The aim of this study is to lessen the environmental

impact of single-use sachet wastes by means of utilizing its
components to produce a reusable thermal grocery bag. This
includes an evaluation of the produced grocery bag through
the feedback of the customers.
 Background of the Study
Single-use sachet Components

- continuous and widespread
- negative environmental
impact

 Infrastructure for recycling

- Often limited
 Statement of the Problem

• The researchers aim to utilize these used sachet by

converting it to a polyester fabric then into a thermal
grocery bag with aluminum sheets as insulators. At
the same time lessening the environmental footprint
of these sachets.
