    The local literature discusses a study that explored using plastic waste materials as an alternative to plywood production. Researchers collected plastic bottles, shredded them, and mixed them with glue sticks during pyrolysis. The resulting material was found to have strength properties similar to regular plywood. The foreign literature examined a study that used rice husks and starch glue to create a water-resistant particle board as a sustainable alternative to wood-based boards. Testing showed that the rice husk and starch composite absorbed more water over longer periods of immersion, making it suitable for indoor applications.

    REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

    Local Literature

    The improper waste management of plastics in different regions here

    in the Philippines results in plastics being a major problem. By that problem,

    most researchers are finding ways to reduce plastics and make use of them.

    The focus of researchers in the study Feasibility of Plastic Waste Materials as

    an Alternative for Production of Plywood Substitute (Carreon et al., 2019) is

    to find out if plastic waste can be an alternative material for the production

    of plywood. To dissolve the plastics and create a new product, the

    researchers used the pyrolysis method. They collected the plastic bottles in

    their community, shredded them into smaller pieces, divided into 4 groups

    with different amounts of shredded plastics, and proceed to the pyrolysis

    method. While the plastics are melting they added glue sticks to make the

    product more durable. The researchers concluded that plastic waste

    materials can be a substitute for the production of plywood, and the

    qualities of regular plywood are the same quality as the plywood made of

    plastic waste materials. The product plywood made of plastic waste

    materials is strong in terms of its malleability, brittleness, and durability.

    “Further explanation, with also the use of glue sticks while

    experimenting, is also needed for this kind of method. By adding a


    12

    glue stick the product became more brittle and hard to break. As for

    the sets of grams of plastic waste materials: 10 grams, 50 grams, 100

    grams, and 1 kilogram. Each gram met the said qualities of plywood.

    So, the researchers also conclude that in doing this kind of

    experiment of turning plastics into plywood the product will be good

    no matter how much the grams would be as long as it follows a

    practical method. In addition to its qualities, the product is also safe

    because it undergoes an applicable method which is pyrolysis. The

    method aims to dissolve plastics in a nature-caring way that assures

    the safety of the product. Lastly, this could be the answer to the

    problem of plastic waste. It will help to lessen plastic waste and also

    it could be the proper way to manage plastics by recycling them for

    the production of plywood.” (Carreon et al., 2019)

    Foreign Literature

    One of the environmental health hazards in Nigeria is the rice milling

    industry due to the large amount of rice husk. In the study Recycling of Rice

    Husk into a Locally-Made Water-Resistant Particle Board (Temitope et al.,

    2015), the researchers tested out the potentiality of rice husks as a substitute

    for wood-based board products in the production of particle boards using

    starch and glue as an alternative adhesive. The particle boards were tested

    for water absorption in both hot and cold media. And they found out that
    13

    the result value shows that the percentage of water absorption absorbed

    increases with increasing time of immersion, which indicates that the board

    is used for indoor application.

    “The cold absorption test was performed by immersing the

    composite sample was immersed into the cold water for a period of

    30mins, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h 8 h at room temperature (25°C) the thickness

    of the board. In the hot absorption test, the composite sample was

    immersed in the hot water with temperatures ranging from 45°C,

    65°C, 85°C, and 100°C at a constant period of 1 hour the thickness of

    the board was taken. It is concluded that rice husk waste can be

    utilized in the manufacture of water-resistant particleboard in tropical

    areas like Nigeria with its long rainy season. The use of starch, a

    biodegradable adhesive reduced the use of the more expensive

    synthetic adhesive based on petroleum resources. The test results

    showed that the rice husk, starch, and wood glue combination

    provides results that have a high potential to be used in the

    production of particleboard.” (Temitope et al., 2015)
