Abstract:

As the population grows and urban areas expand, the problem of hazardous waste accumulation comes at its peak. Earth bodies are increasingly being polluted affecting living organisms. The industry produces hazardous chemicals which can be transferred directly or indirectly to humans as they are part of the ecosystem. According to the Philippine Environment Laws - Republic Act No. 6969, “toxic substances and hazardous wastes should be controlled and disposed properly to manage communities that suffer from hazardous environments and stockpiling of dump sites.” Since past years, scientists have formulated different alternative ways and solutions to resolve this problem. In addition, the rapid enhancement of technology also helped businesses and different organizations to become more efficient when it comes to time management, reduction of cost, and protection of the environment. Today, some industries in the Philippines, particularly in Laguna, use recycling where the hazardous wastes and recyclable materials are separated to save those recoverable materials and convert them into profit or reuse them for other purposes. Moreover, this method can help in minimizing tons of waste materials that can affect the community and the environment. For this, researchers determined the benefits of a coolant and grease extractor from metal scrap and how efficient it can be used by the company. This study designed a proper disposal system of metal scraps. The offered alternatives will benefit the company and the communities that suffer from hazardous environments. This system used the principle of mechanical separation, processes, and concepts.
