Although our country has been gifted with numerous coconut trees, it still gives
us the disadvantage of properly disposing the generated waste products, specifically its
the global landfill waste is filled by paper whereas only 30 percent of the one million tons
materials as components for cement while giving awareness on waste disposal issues
and management.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
1. Can coconut husk ash, sand, and waste paper materials be components in
making cement?
2. Can coconut husk ash and paper be compressed while sustaining its strength?
HYPOTHESES
Ha1: Coconut husk, sand, and waste paper materials can be components to
make cement.
Ho1: Coconut husk ash, sand, and waste paper materials cannot be components
to make cement.
Ha2: Coconut husk ash, sand, and waste paper materials can sustain their
strength as cement.
Ho2: Coconut husk ash, sand, and waste paper materials cannot sustain their
strength as cement.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The results of this study will benefit the society considering that the materials
used are eco-friendly and can decrease the number of issues involving the waste
disposal of coconut shells and paper in areas affected. This study can give advantage to
the people who live in areas abundant to coconut trees, thus lessening their problems
with disposal. Moreover, students and future researchers may use this as a reference to
The scope of this study includes areas ample in coconut trees within the North
Cotabato region, methods in making cement, time, materials needed, and money. This
study is limited only to the making of cement using coconut husk ash, waste paper
The money needed ranges from P500 to P1000. The time needed to be
consumed will vary on how long the cement will need to dry. Some equipment are
already available at our homes, lessening the materials needed to be bought. Its
limitations are those events, things, and etc. that are not comprised in the scope of the
study.
