We are happy to share that one of the project's research outputs has been published. The article “Public Perception and Socio-economic Factors on Willingness to Pay for Community-based Solid Waste Management and Plastic Waste Densification in the Philippines" was published by the Philippine Journal of Science in its December 2024 issue.

The paper describes the status of public perception toward community-based solid waste management (SWM) and plastic waste densification using the following parameters: the public's knowledge of the technology, willingness to participate in local waste collection projects, and willingness to pay for SWM services. The study analyzed how these parameters correlate with respondents' demographics and socio-economic factors.

Special thanks to DOST-PCIEERD for funding the project.
