I think a metrowide implementation will be met with some resistance from certain people with personal interests in keeping the status quo. Something the population of LP and muntilupa doesn't have...

It will be. There are a good number of businessmen who manufacture and have invested in equipment primarily for making your typical plastic bag and assorted items and Metro Manila is the biggest consumer.

IMO, this has to be studied well first before an nationwide (or even MM-wide) shift on its impact to the demand and supply of substitutes and whether these will be easily recycled thereafter. In our subdivision, we segregate our wastes so its not a problem but in general areas, its probable that paper based products will be thrashed immediately after.

pag pumunta kayo sa Paete Laguna, matagal na nila ginagawa yan.. pag bumili kayo sa mga tindahan either paper bag or sa kahon nila nilalagay..

btw, yung Ace Hardware dito sa Greenbelt1, paper bag na gamit nila..

Sa Pasig, matagal na yan ganoon. SM Hypermart recycles their boxes and uses paperbags for the meats. Pero yun meat, naka plastic pa rin but yun clear and walang handles.

I fully support this measure. Marami na akong greenbags and when I purchase something sa store na kaya ko naman bitbitin, di ko na pina-pa-plastic. Dati naman, wala naman plastic bags noon but we were able to buy the usual stuffs we still buy now. We have been recycling newspaper and cartons into paperbags anyway. I guess this is sustainable.

SM also introduced noon ang bio-degradable na plastic but I guess matagal rin ma-decompose ito.

Around the 70s, walang plastic na bag and bottles. Puro RECYCLABLE manila paper bags and glass bottles dati. Dati sa Unimart, the paper bags were as big as bayongs.

Na buking ang age mo rito ah. Naabutan ko rin yun bayong na paper bag sa Unimart.

Dito sa amin Antipolo ganyan na din puro paper bags. Kaya si Misis 4 pcs na reusable bag ang ginagamit pag namimili sa Shopwise, may 8% discount pa siya pag gumamit siya nang 1 pc. reusable bag.

I work in a styro company. I think these guys need to be aware na RECYCLABLE ang styro and plastic. Di ko lang maisip bakit parang sarado ang isip ng mga nagpapasimuno nito.

Please search in facebook "Usapang Styro". This would help you enlighten that styrofoams are recyclable.

And these are the products from the recycled styrofoam


Ang tao ang dapat ditong turuan paano ito i-recycle. Disiplina lang ng tao ang kailangan para dito. Di ito kailangan i-ban. Tayo rin ang mahihirapan kung ito ay mawala. Imagine nalang, saan mo ilalagay ang isang basang bagay, sa paper bag ba? Eh di nabutas ito.

To all, I am asking na paki-kalat lang ang impormasyong ito. Malaking tulong ito para mabusksan ang isip ng mga tao tungkol sa pag-recycle. Nasa sa inyo na rin kung tatanggapin ninyo ang mga pinakita ko, pero I have seen this process first handed.
