Abstract:

This study determined the feasibility of producing Gel  Air Freshener with Mosquito Repellent  from used ground coffee and orange peel. Aiming to be profitable and  distinct among the available brands of air freshener and repellent produced by other manufacturers, this product was developed to eliminate odor and to serve as a decorative item. Located at the Light Industry and Science Park  1 in Cabuyao City Laguna, MGC Company, which stands for Making Green Cities, was at the center of the target area and near the potential suppliers of raw materials. Findings revealed   a   high   profitability   of   the product since MGC Company would distribute the product in Calamba, Cabuyao and Sta. Rosa - the three selected cities that had the highest percentage of dengue and the most populated areas in Laguna. The technical study showed the manufacturing process involved in producing Gel Air Freshener with Mosquito Repellent from used ground coffee and orange peel as well as the specification of the product, machines, tools, equipment, direct and indirect materials, and packaging materials.
