II-DEFINITION OF TERMS
Recycling- process of transforming an item, which has already served its original, purpose and is
still be used for another purpose.
Garbage disposal is one of the biggest problems we Filipinos face. There are so many things we
waste throw away, burn or just take for granted and yet the sophisticated first world
technology for waste processing is not within our reach.
Types of Recycling
1. Internal recycling
It involves the use of materials like waste products of animals into a manufacturing process. An
example of this is the processing of spent grain mash, a waste product of distillation, into cattle
feeds
2. External recycling
Is the reclaiming of materials from a product that has been worn out due to constant use. A
good example of this type is the conversion of old newspapers and magazines into other paper
product.
Advantages of Recycling
1. Decrease pollution and ease the garbage pollution
2. Conserve resources
3. Enhance creativity and resourcefulness
4. Potential in making a profitable business
5. Makes people environmentally aware
6. Promotes scientific advancements in recyclable and biodegradable materials
7. Makes governments and businesses choose programs and apply policies in consideration of
preserving and respecting the environment.
Common Materials Used in Recycling
Many waste materials can be recycled. In cities as well as in many rural areas, paper is one of
the most abundant and available waste materials. It comes in many forms like old newspapers
and magazines, boxes, wrapping paper, office waste, old telephone directories, and the like.

Also considered recyclable are glass bottles. Manufacturing wastes like yarns and fabric scraps
are also highly usable materials.

Filipinos are known for being warm and affectionate. Sending of gifts on special occasions is one
way of expressing our affection and concern. We send gifts on special occasions such as
birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Christening, Wedding, Valentine’s Day and other instances.
Wrapping and packing are essential parts of giving. A gift in personalized gift wrap is a delightful
way of sending love to a friend or loved one.

Philippine Made Materials for Gift Wrapping
The Philippines known as to many as “Pearl of the Orient Seas” is noted for abundant natural
resources. The Philippine is rich in land and sea resources where raw materials for making
native products can be sourced. Famous native products such as baskets from rattan, Buri hats,
native Anahaw fans, Abaca bags and many others are good materials for unique and
personalized gift wrapping.
Other Philippine made ecology-friendly materials for packing and wrapping gifts are following:
Gift containers- bayong bags made of buri, coconut leaves, tampipi (small rectangular buri box),
native baskets, boxes made of our Philippine wood like narra and bamboo, corrugated papers.
Wrapping- sinamay, abaca, raffia, etc
Ribbons and bows- abaca strings, shells, dried flowers, twigs, etc.
Gift Wrapping plain boxes is an art which can be achieved through careful choice of paper and
ribbon. You should treat every gift wrap an artist treats a canvas. Gift wrapping is an art of
packing, wrapping and decorating an item or article to be given as a gift. Make sure you have
enough wrapping paper. Tape sheets together with a glue stick or a scotch tape.

Gift-wrapping is not necessary confined to paper. You can use other materials like printed or
plain colored cardboard boxes, painted wooden boxes, our naïve Philippine materials like
sinamay, raffia, abaca, native bags or buri and many more.
