<br/><br/> This project entitled “Utilization of PET Bottle as Alternative Material for<br/>Embossing Powder” was to develop an alternative embossing powder out of waste PET<br/>(polyethylene terephthalate) bottles which adds to waste disposal problem. This innovation<br/>seeks to help environment reduce the burden to disposing waste bottles and help the craft<br/>industry to lessen the cost of raw materials and production through recycling. The process<br/>involves pulverizing the waste PET bottles and converting it into fine powder and mixing<br/>together with the precipitate mixture of distilled white vinegar and liquid floor polish to<br/>finally form the embossing powder. The waste PET bottles used in the study are<br/>environmentally friendly. To produce embossing powder were proven to be useful and<br/>practical as an alternative embossing powder. The acceptability performance of the<br/>produced embossing powder was evaluated by the Technological University of the<br/>Philippines – Manila professors and students who are expert in the field of printing in terms<br/>of functionality, workability, durability, safety, aesthetic and economy. Respondents were<br/>composed of three (3) faculty/peers, and twenty-two (22) students taking up Bachelor of<br/>Technology major in Print Media Technology. The mean ratings of the evaluation in the<br/>seven criteria are 4.4 for functionality, 4.6 workability, 4.4 for durability, 4.2 for safety,<br/>4.4 for aesthetic and 4.5 for economy, resulting in 4.4 overall mean which interprets a very<br/>acceptable project study. The availability of materials, the technical expertise and the tools<br/>and equipment used for producing the alternative embossing powder is found to be<br/>effective and inexpensive compared to the commercial embossing powder.
