CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

Rationale

The study of Dalu, Cuthbert, Muhali, Manyani, Chari, Masunungure, and

Dalu (2020) found that the issue of plastic pollution has become a major concern

worldwide, and schools are expected to play a significant role in addressing this

problem. There are some educational institutions, had been grappling with the

challenges of implementing an anti-plastic policy. This policy aims to reduce or

eliminate the use of single-use plastics in the school premises, such as plastic

bags, straws, and food packaging. However, the implementation of this policy

has encountered several challenges, including resistance from students, lack of

infrastructure, and difficulties in enforcing the policy. The various challenges

encountered in implementing the anti-plastic policy as well as possible solutions

to overcome them. Schools are anticipated to play a crucial part in resolving the

issue of plastic pollution, which has grown to be a big concern on a global scale.

Like many other educational institutions, they had been struggling to implement

an anti-plastic strategy. With the implementation of this policy, single-use plastics

like bags, straws, and food packaging will either be used less frequently or not at

all on school grounds. The execution of this strategy, however, has run into a

number of obstacles, including student opposition, a lack of infrastructure, and

issues implementing the regulation. The numerous difficulties faced and potential

ways to overcome when implementing the anti-plastic policy.

 2

According to Kumara, Supeno, and Wardiyan (2022) to the trend of

increasing plastic production is not followed by the ability to manage waste

properly. As a result, there is a buildup of waste in the world. The researchers

found that the pupils lack of understanding and collaboration has been one of the

major obstacles to the anti-plastic policy’s implementation at Lourdes National

High School. Many kids still use single-use plastics including water bottles,

straws, and food packaging despite multiple campaigns and educational

initiatives by the school administration. Due to this lack of cooperation, it is

challenging for the school to completely implement the policy and achieve the

desired reduction in plastic trash. Finding alternatives to plastic at the school is

particularly difficult because it can be difficult to locate eco-friendly products that

are also affordable for pupils. To overcome these challenges and properly

execute the anti-plastic policy, the school administration, students, and

community must work together.

Investigating the difficulties faced in establishing an anti-plastic policy is the main

goal of this study. This study tries to pinpoint the major obstacles standing in the

way of this policy’s successful implementation and investigate potential solutions.

We also aims to increase public understanding and shape community

perceptions on the dangers of plastic pollution and available solutions, thereby

empowering more people especially the students of Lourdes National High

School and organizations to take action. So we can prevent the pollution caused

by reducing the need to harvest new raw materials. It can also conserve energy.

Reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change and

helps sustain the environment for future generations.

According to Popanes, Larios, Gervacio Jr., Robenta, Trinidad, and

Tamon (2020) in Bestlink College of the Philippines, particularly in the canteen,

plastic is frequently used to serve food. However, this material contains

hazardous compounds that might combine with the food and contaminate it with

a poison, which then directly affects the individuals who would consume the meal

served in plastic. The purpose of this study is to educate students and canteen

staff about the potential health risks of plastic. Repeated exposure to these

substances has been associated to a variety of health issues, such as cancer,

immune system issues, and diseases of the reproductive and developmental

systems. In order to reduce exposure, it is crucial to be informed of any potential

dangers related to the use of plastic in food packaging. Bestlink College of the

Philippines is the subject of this litigation.It would be wise for the canteen at

Bestlink College of the Philippines to take into account alternate food packaging

materials that do not contain dangerous chemicals. They could, for instance,

utilize washable, reusable containers that can be used again or biodegradable or

compostable containers made of plant-based materials. Additionally, it’s critical to

enlighten students and other customers about the possible dangers of plastic

food packaging and to empower them to make wise product decisions. This can

aid in spreading knowledge of the problem and encouraging the usage of safer

substitutes.
 4

Theoretical Background

There are various hypotheses from various types of researchers who

gathered data to enlighten and educate us. According to the Theory of Nielsen,

Holmberg, and Stripple, (2019), “Need a bag? A review of public policies on

plastic carrier bags – Where, how and to what effect?” There are currently plastic

bag-related public regulations on every continent, ranging from the municipal to

the intergovernmental level, and their number has more than tripled since 2010.

Public regulations aimed at limiting the usage of plastic carrier bags have been

much more prevalent during the past ten years. Various factors have led to the

implementation of these policies, but they all aim to decrease the damage that

plastic carrier bags cause to the environment. Some of the more well-liked

legislative efforts include bans on single-use plastic bags, levies or fees on

plastic bags, requirements that stores provide reusable bags, and rewards for

patrons who bring their own bags. Even though their effectiveness varies

depending on the specific situation and how they are implemented, there is

evidence to suggest that these regulations can cut down on the usage of plastic

bags and aid to limit plastic litter. These rules' efficacy will ultimately depend on a

number of factors, including public acceptance and knowledge, enforcement

strategies, and the availability of other modes of transportation.

Moreover, the Theory of Nyathi, and Togo, (2020), “Overview of Legal

and Policy Framework Approaches for Plastic Bag Waste Management” the

study concluded that the key to effective legislation is hinged on consistent

enforcement and educating the public to attain environmental buy-in. Public

 5

education efforts can also aid in increasing knowledge of the negative

environmental effects of plastic bags and motivating people to engage in more

sustainable lifestyle choices, such as utilizing reusable bags. These campaigns

can take a variety of shapes, including advertising, social media campaigns, and

instructional initiatives in educational institutions and neighborhood associations.

Policies aimed at minimizing the use of plastic bags will ultimately depend on a

number of variables, such as the unique environment in which they are

implemented, the level of public support, and the accessibility of substitute

methods for carrying goods. Effective policies in this area, however, must include

both persistent enforcement and public education.

Additionally, the Theory of Behuria, (2021), “Ban The (Plastic) Bag.

Explaining Variation in the Implementation of Plastic Bag” plastic bags

significantly contribute to the issue of the damaging environmental effects of

plastic waste, which is a global concern. The harm that plastic waste does to the

environment is extensive and encompasses problems like litter, canal and ocean

pollution, and injury to wildlife that consumes or becomes entangled in plastic.

Since plastic waste doesn't decompose for hundreds of years, it keeps building

up in the ecosystem. These regulations are designed to encourage people and

companies to adopt more environmentally friendly habits and lessen the quantity

of plastic garbage that pollutes the environment. Although these regulations'

efficacy varies, they are a crucial first step in reducing the harm that plastic trash

causes to the environment.

 6

To conclude, the Theory of Klink, Wiering, Eerd, and Schoor, (2022),

“Travelling Plastics: Exploring River Cruise Companies’ Practices and Policies for

the Environmental Protection” in this contribution, we try to overcome knowledge

gaps regarding both the plastic practices of river cruise companies and the

policies on cruise tourism and environmental pollution. To address this issue, it is

important to understand the plastic practices of river cruise companies and the

policies on cruise tourism and environmental pollution. Understanding river cruise

companies' plastic usage methods and their stances on cruise travel and

environmental degradation are crucial for resolving this issue. In order to do this,

it may be necessary to investigate and evaluate the waste management

procedures used by these businesses as well as the laws and other measures in

place to combat environmental pollution in the cruise tourist industry. Using

compostable or biodegradable materials, supporting sustainable tourist practices,

and establishing more effective waste management procedures are some

possible ways to lessen the negative environmental effects of cruise tourism and

plastic waste from river cruise businesses. In order to lessen the negative effects

of cruise tourism on the environment and to promote sustainability, governments,

business associations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can

collaborate to create and implement rules and regulations.

 7

Review of Related Literature

According to Nyathi and Togo (2020) plastic bag waste is indeed a major

challenge in several African countries, and governments have been taking steps

to address this issue. Implementing levies or tariffs on plastic bags is one of the

most popular methods for reducing plastic bag waste. It has been demonstrated

that doing this effectively reduces the usage of plastic bags in a number of

African nations, including Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda. Implementing a ban on

the usage of plastic bags is an alternative strategy. This has been demonstrated

to be beneficial in lowering plastic bag waste in a number of African nations,

including Tanzania and Morocco. The effectiveness of a ban’s enforcement and

the availability of plastic bag substitutes are both necessary for it to be

successful. Governments have occasionally enacted a mix of charges and

prohibitions. For instance, Kenya implemented a plastic bag ban along with a tax

on other single-use plastic packaging items including water bottles and food

containers. Overall, there is no one-size-fits-all method to managing plastic bag

waste, and several strategies might be more successful in various situations.

Nevertheless, it is evident that governments in a number of African nations are

acting to address this crucial issue.

According to Bezerra, Walker, Clayton, Adam (2021) the growing

visibility of plastic pollution, including the negative environmental impacts of

single-use plastic bags, has led to increased awareness and concern among the

public and policymakers alike. The production and usage of single-use plastic

bags have been subject to a number of governmental initiatives as a result. The

 8

rising understanding of how plastic waste affects marine ecosystems and species

has been one of the key forces behind this development. Since they are

frequently abandoned after only one use and take hundreds of years to

decompose in the environment, plastic bags are a significant contributor to this

issue. Because of this, numerous governments and groups have realized that

action must be taken to minimize the usage of plastic bags and stop them from

polluting the environment. The necessity to take action to minimize the use of

plastic bags and stop them from polluting the environment has thus been

acknowledged by numerous governments and groups. Numerous nations and

localities all over the world have put rules in place to limit the use of single-use

plastic bags in response to this issue. Bans on the production and distribution of

plastic bags, levies or tariffs on plastic bags to promote reuse, and education and

awareness efforts to promote more environmentally friendly alternatives are a

few of these measures. Overall, more political attention and action on this issue

have been brought about by the growing visibility of plastic pollution and the

harmful effects of single-use plastic bags. The use of plastic bags has

decreased, but more effort is still needed to address the root causes of plastic

pollution and promote a more sustainable and circular economy.

The study of Loges and Jakobi in their thesis entitled (2020), “Not more

than the sum of its parts: de-centered norm dynamics and the governance of

plastics” found out that plastic use is an important, yet multidimensional

environmental challenge, targeted by a large range of initiatives and governance

approaches worldwide. It is yet unknown, however, whether the different anti-

 9

plastic dynamics ultimately lead to effective plastic governance. Some case

studies of plastic bags and microbeads show that the existent regulatory variance

can result in effective governance, but these findings cannot be transferred to

plastics as a whole. Based on the theoretical framework of norm research, we

analyze properties of anti-plastic norms and the agency linked to them. Our

findings indicate ‘de-centered norm dynamics’ that evolve around very different

problematizations, values and behaviors linked to plastic, and which are thus

unlikely to result in a coherent or complementary form of plastics governance.

However, it is still unclear if the many anti-plastic processes will finally result in

efficient plastic government. However, these results cannot be generalized to

plastics as a whole. Case studies including plastic bags and microbeads

demonstrate how the existing regulatory variance can lead to good governance.

We examine the characteristics of anti-plastic norms and the agency associated

with them based on the theoretical framework of norm research. Our research

shows that “de-centered norm dynamics” that develop around widely disparate

problematizations, values, and plastic-related behaviors are unlikely to lead to a

comprehensive or complementary approach to plastics governance.

The students in Lourdes National High School must observe cleanliness

at their school. The researchers recommended that the students in LNHS

needed to know the proper way of disposal also including the vendors at their

canteen so that the challenges that we encountered in implementing anti-plastic

policy will be solved.

 10

Review of Related Studies

The study of Marcial, Pastor, Hernandez, Bobadilla, Escalona, Escabel

(2016), entitled “Effectiveness of the Implementation of Anti-Plastic Ordinance”

sought to evaluate the effectiveness of level of the Anti-Plastic Ordinance’s

implementation. Its specific goal was to ascertain the respondents’

demographics, including their age, gender, and civil status, as well as the

effectiveness of the anti-corruption campaign, plastic ordinance, the problems

encountered in the implementation of the ordinance, and verify if there is

significant difference on the effectiveness of the implementation of the said

ordinance when grouped according to people variables of the respondents and

propose an improvement plan based on the result of the study. It used the

descriptive type of research and utilized 120 respondents composed of vendors,

households, students and implementers of the ordinance. The research showed

that the anti-effective implementation of the plastics ordinance, collaboration

between the main issue is community members, as well as profile characteristics

age, civil status, and response group, among others, influence the a successful

application of the law. In order to solve issues an improvement strategy was

incorporated into the implementation proposed by the researchers.

According to Knoblauch, Mederake, Stein (2018), despite the fact that

more and more African nations are implementing laws to decrease the pollution

caused by single-use plastics (SUP), little research has been done on these

laws. Specifically for West Africa, this research examines SUP reduction

strategies. Legislative SUP bans, primarily on plastic shopping bags, are the key
 11

policy tools adopted by nations in West Africa. Of the 16 nations, 11 have

implemented prohibitions, one has a market-based instrument, and the remaining

four have no strategy at all. Heavy penalties, such as fines and jail terms, are

imposed for bans. However, there is little consultation when bans are being

drafted, no nationwide campaigns, and little lead time (less than a year) between

the announcement of a ban and its eventual implementation. Reusable

substitutes are not mentioned anywhere. We advise that any policies currently in

place or developed in the future to reduce SUPs should involve stakeholders and

provide enough lead time between announcement and implementation so that

the policy can be widely publicized. Governments are urged to provide

reasonably priced reusable alternatives.

The study of Wagner entitled (2017), “Reducing single-use plastic

shopping bags in the USA” local governments in the USA are mostly in charge of

managing MSW. Local governments are unable to expressly place the burden of

paying for certain problematic wastes back on the producer. Single-use plastic

bags are a particular issue that municipal governments struggle with. 103.465

billion single-use plastic shopping bags were used in the USA in 2014. Plastic

bags continue to be a substantial source of marine debris and land-based litter,

and they negatively affect stormwater management systems due to their

extremely poor recyclability rate. Additionally, they impair the efficiency of

automated recycling systems. In response, local governments have progressively

adopted a variety of policies aimed at reducing the use of single-use shopping

bags at the store level. These policies fall into five main categories: bans, the
 12

imposition of levies and tariffs, the setting of minimum product standards, and

recycling programs.

THE PROBLEM

Statement of the Problem

This study aimed to determine the challenges encountered in implementing

anti-plastic policy at Lourdes National High School.

This research specifically sought to respond to the following question:

What are the challenges encountered in implementing the anti-plastic policy in

terms of:

1.1 Lack of awareness:

1.2 Inadequate infrastructure:

1.3 Limited alternatives

Recommendations

This study revealed that the challenges encountered in implementing anti-

plastic policy at Lourdes National High School. Thus, the following

recommendations are hereby presented:

1. Teachers must teach their students on how to avoid using any single plastic at

school.

2. Students must be taught and informed that they must not use any single

plastic to prevent problems.

3. The school should have enough resources for the students which enable them

to segregate waste properly.

 14

4. School Vendors on the other hand will also be informed that they should

lessen their plastic and use paper bags instead.

Scope of Delimitation

The primary goal of the study is to identify the difficulties faced when

Lourdes National High School implemented its anti-plastic policy. The

researchers limited 2 male and female in every Grade-10 sections. The

researchers used simple and brief questions to interview the respondents.

Significance of the Study

The study’s goal was to determine the challenges Encountered in

implementing anti-plastic policy at Lourdes National High School. The study’s

findings are advantageous to the following:

Students. Who always throw their trashes anywhere at school and most

of it are plastics will affect our school system. This research paper will be their

guide for implementing anti-plastic policy.

Teachers. They should teach students to dispose of their waste including

plastics in the proper way of disposal. This will allow them to guide their students

onto challenges encountered in implementing anti-plastic.

Parents. Who needed to help their children realize that throwing their

trashes everywhere can harm our environment. This enables them to teach their

children a good behavior by telling them that they need to throw their trashes

specifically the plastics at the right place.

Future Researcher. This study can help the future researcher as their

guid in doing their own research paper.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research Design

The researchers used the case study design in which they were able to

investigate the challenges encountered in implementing anti-plastic policy at

Lourdes National High School. The main purpose of the study was to know the

challenges in implementing anti-plastic policy at all grade levels including also

the teachers and the principal, especially the vendors of the canteen. The

questions that the researchers used the interview method to the respondents

was used for data collection.

Research Environment

This research was accomplished at the Lourdes National High School

(LNHS), which is located at Dauis – Panglao Rd, Dauis, 6340 Bohol, Philippines,

near this place is Lourdes Elementary School (409 m). It is one of the schools in

bohol and was established by former Mayor Benedicto H. Alcala in 1993. The

researchers selected LNHS as location of our study since it was already

implementing the anti-plastic policy by avoiding to use plastics.

Figure 2. School Map.

 18

Research Respondents

The study involved the Grade-10 students at Lourdes National High

School for the school year 2022-2023. The method of chance also called simple

random sampling was used to choose the respondents. The researchers manage

to study 30 random students.

Research Instrument

The instrument that was used in the study was a researcher-made

questionnaire that were answered by the respondents that the researchers

supposed to gather the needed data. The question was designed as the form of

interview to gather information about the challenges encountered in

implementing anti-plastic policy.

Data Gathering Procedure

This study used a mobile phone to record the answers of the respondents

of the researchers interview. The researchers ask permission from their

respondents if they could have time to answer their questions in an interview

form and answer it with full of honesty. The researchers also explained to the

respondents that it’s really important to have their response as the researchers

conduct their study. The researchers also gathered the negative and positive

impact about the challenges encountered in implementing anti-plastic policy at

Lourdes National High School, every one of the respondents has their own

perspective of why it is important to manage the anti-plastic policy in LNHS.

 19
