Research Chapter 1

This document provides background information on a study about the implications of a no plastic policy in Koronadal City, Philippines. It discusses how plastic is problematic because it is not biodegradable and can pollute land and oceans. The city has strengthened its no plastic policy in public markets and encourages private establishments to do the same to better manage waste. The policy bans plastic bags and fines violators. The study will examine how the no plastic policy affects product materials, surroundings, and the environmental status of the public market from March to August 2019. It will provide implications and identify rules in the policy. The results could guide future research and increase public awareness of the environmental impacts of plastic.

Background of the Study

Introduction

This study is about the implications of no plastic policy and how it varry to the

environmental status of Koronadal City. Background of the Study.

According to Beth Terry (Skyhorse Publishing, 2012) Plastic is prevalent to our live.

Plastic has darker side. Plasic is not biodegradable, therefore it always exists, crowding our

landfills and polluting our oceans. Plastic bags have some unique problems. While their

environmental costs are burdensome for communities and the planet, the cost bags for retailers

is pretty low. Even when disposed of properly , plastic bags are so lightweight and aerodynamic,

they are easily picked up and carried by wind. They can escape from trash bins, recycle bins,

garbage trucks, and landfills, end up littering the landscape. Blowing down the street, flapping

from trees, clogging storm drains (costing municipalities million of dollars in cleanup costs) , and

making their way out to sea, plastic bags have been reffered to as "urban tumbleweeds" for

good reason. And they persist in the environment, causing harm for a very longtime.

According to Jennifer C. Tilos (2018) In dumaguete City has strengthened its "No Plastic

Policy" in its public market and urges private establishments to do the same. City Economic

Enterprises Officer Engr. Jose Ronnie Fortin said that "No Plastic" is in support of the city's

campaign to reduce plastic use and better manage garbage collection and disposal.
"This is also in compliance with the efforts of Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo to

implement the anti plastic ordinance as means to best manage the city solid wastes,"said City

Public Information Officer Dems Demicillo. After the public market, the policy will expand to

include the fish terminal and cold storage, slaughterhouse and pasenger terminal, City official

said. Private establishments, residence and other institutionsare enjoined to adopt the same

policy so te regulation on plastics use in the entire city can be adopted and enforced. Ordinance

No. 231 series of 2011, bans the use of plastic bags.

However, Demecillo said implementation of the ordinance was discontinued several

years ago after the enforcers were pulled out. Acts include offer to sell or provide free plastic

bags to customers as secondary packaging for dry goods. Violaters get meted a fine of five

hundred pesos for 1st violation; one thousand pesos for second violation and five thousand

pesos fine or imprisonment of not more than six months or upon the discretation of the court.
