The Researchers v ABSTRACT This research was conducted to determine the weight capacity of HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and eggshells mixture as roofing. The subjects of this study were the roof composed of plastic waste materials mixed with pulverized eggshell (PES). According to the study on Egg Shell Concrete with Partial Replacement of Cement by Fly Ash (IJERT, 2015), it was found that addition of fly ash along with eggshell powder (ESP) is beneficial for improved performance of concretes. (H. Ravi Kumar, et. al, 2016) In addition to this, it was mentioned in an article from AZO Cleantech that HDPE is the most used recycling material in the world because of its quality. (Thomas, 2012) This was conducted using Posttest-Only Control Group Design. In this type of design, two set-ups are separated and one of them will received the treatment or intervention while one will not, and data will be gathered after the treatment or intervention. (Frey, 2018). The samples were assigned randomly. The data of this study were computed and interpreted accordingly using mean, ttest and Analysis of variance (ANOVA). In this study, the highest capacity with the mean value of 134.67kg was the experimental set-up 3 which was the plastic roof with 60% pulverized eggshells. Therefore, the results showed that the sample will be stronger with more grams of pulverized eggshells. There is a significant difference in the weight capacity in the experimental set-up and the control set-up. The result of this study might be of great benefit to homeowners, to the government, roof manufacturers, and future researchers.

According to the census figures from (Trading Economics) as of 2017, the latest population of the Philippines was estimated 104.9 million people. Only 1.37% of the world’s population is represented in the Philippines. Together with the rapid growth of population is the growth of residencies established and most of these residences made use of roof. This study was conducted to produce cheap but durable roofing made out of plastic waste materials and pulverized eggshells. According to and article from Roof Cost Estimator, a typical architectural asphalt shingle roof will cost between $3.50 and $5.50 per sq. ft. to install across the US. This price range normally includes the cost of materials, removal of the old roof (up to 1 layer), dumpster and disposal fees, permitting fees, professional installation, and workmanship warranty. A new asphalt shingles roof for a typical 2,000 square feet single-story ranch house can range in price from $8,500-$16,500 installed. Expenses may differ contingent upon your locale and home's area, the roof’s slope and number of stories, overall complexity of the roof, the number of layers of the old 2 shingles to be removed and disposed of, type of underlayment and accessories used, and any warranties or guarantees the contractor offers. Obviously, getting a rooftop substitution is costly. (Graves, 2018) According to Inquirer Philippines, leaking in roofs is a standout problem amongst the most disregarded zones at home, it’s one of the problems that are hardest to ignore when it develops trouble. Uy asserts that for GI roofs, rust and mechanical wear and tear caused by climate, and even by falling fruits of the tree branches, can cause real marks and breakage of the roof. (Salazar, 2014) According to an interview conducted by the researchers regarding the commonly encountered roof problem with a 5th year civil engineering student, Twelcy Ann Paniamogan, she mentioned about breakage and rust which is usually due to choosing a steel type of roofing. She also added that in housing communities or subdivisions, the gap between the ceiling and the ground is so minimal and it results to poor ventilation for the house. This study was conducted to produce cheaper but more durable roofing and at the same time helping to preserve nature and keeping the environment clean. This study will be helpful for families with residencies, the government and the future researchers. 3 Statement of the Problem The main purpose of this study was to determine the durability of roofing made up of plastic waste materials mixed with pulverized eggshells for the production of durable but cheap roofing. To fully test and understand the extent of this study, specific parameters were established: 1. What is the level of weight capacity in the following setups with different amounts of Pulverized Eggshells (PES)? a. HDPE with 0g PES b. HDPE with 352g PES c. HDPE with 500g PES d. HDPE with 850g PES 2. Is there a significant difference in the level of weight capacity in the control and experimental setups? 3. Is there a significant difference in the level of weight capacity among the experimental setups? 4. Which among the following setups would be the best mixture for stronger roofing? 4 Hypotheses 1. There is no significant difference in the level of flexural strength in the control and experimental setups 2. There is no significant difference in the level of flexural strength in the experimental setups Review of Related Literature This portion of the study presents the review of different articles that are related to the study that was being conducted. This review of rselated literature provides supporting details for the independent and dependent variables. Eggshells. According to the study on Egg Shell Concrete with Partial Replacement of Cement by Fly Ash (IJERT, 2015), it was found that addition of fly ash along with eggshell powder (ESP) is beneficial for improved performance of concretes. It was also found that in compressive strength, density and workability decreased with addition of ESP to concrete. While workability and density increased with addition of fly ash to optimum ESP concrete, no change was found in compressive strength. (H. Ravi Kumar et al., 2016) In addition to this, eggshells are also used in a study as an effective component in making tiles. Eggshell powder and cements were weighed 5 and mixed with H2O (water) in three (3) different ratios. Impact resistance test is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the experimentation by dropping the product in different measures on meters from the ground respectively for three (3) trials. The study was proven successful after passing the impact resistance test. (Estigoy et al., 2003) High-density Polyethylene (HDPE). According to an article from AZO Cleantech, HDPE is the most accepted kind of plastic at recycling centers in the world. It is because recycling HDPE has many benefits, it is more cost efficient to produce a product from recycled HDPE than to manufacture “virgin” plastic. (Thomas, 2012) In addition to this, it was also mentioned in an article from Plastics Make it Possible, HDPE is impact resistant and it is super strong. It was also said that it is weather resistant, and it’s easily molded into nearly any shape, providing one of the primary benefits of most plastics: malleability. (Professor Plastic, 2018) Roofing. Roof is an important part of a home and it is the primary protection as from the weather. It is important that the quality of the roofing materials protecting that investment. Good class roofing products are those that can last a long time, have a great warranty to back them, and can make 6 our homes be kept from the elements while looking catchy to the eyes of others on the of the house. In another article about roofing, it is stated that metal roofing also has some disadvantages. One of these disadvantages is it can easily attract lightning owing to the fact that metal itself is truly known as a very good conductor of electricity. In reality, the moment when lightning strikes, it will always find an object at its highest point and it has a direct path to the ground. (Thiele, 2017) Theoretical/Conceptual Framework This part provides theories that will support the study. These theories are gotten from reliable sources. This study was anchored on a study presented in the International Conference on Technologies and Materials for Renewable Energy, Environment and Sustainability, in Beirut Lebanon, the researchers have successfully demonstrated that it is possible to manufacture roof tiles from recycled high-density polythene (HDPEr) and sand dune. (Seghiri et al., 2017), stated in their conclusion that based on their experiments, the density decreases with the increase of the HDPEr ratio that gives the polymer tile to a light weight material. The polymer roof tile containing 70% HDPEr with 7 30% sand dunes gives the best quality. According to the results, the polymer roof tile has a potential to be used as a clay roof tile. In addition, plastic tiles for roofing are made with 30% plastic waste and 70% sand. The discarded plastic comes in many forms and types and have various melting points. Separating all this material can be a rather lengthy and expensive operation. But, in the case of recycled plastic roof tiles, this mixture can be processed without the need for separation thanks to the experimentation of a dedicate engineers. For the manufacture of plastic roof tiles, the material is separated into hard and soft material, diced into small pieces, combined and then melted. This plastic mixture is blended with sand and a colorant and melted again. The resultant blend is then molded into tile shapes and cooled. These recycled plastic roof tiles will wear longer than metal roofing and there is no asbestos padding involved. The addition of sand to the mix gives these tiles considerable durability and it is environmentally safe and does not emit harmful substances. (PolimerKrovlya, 2018) 8 Control Setup Roofing made out of HDPE [ Experimental Setup 25% of pulverized eggshells 40% of pulverized eggshells Observation/ Data Gathering in the experiment Post-Analysis of Results Comparison of Plastic Waste Materials Weight Capacity Figure 1. Paradigm of the Study 60% of pulverized eggshells 9 The figure illustrates the flow of the experiments that are to be conducted. Control setups were set aside while experimental setups were applied with different amounts of pulverized eggshells (PES). After the application of PES and the production of roofing, each of the experimental and control setups undergone Weight Capacity Test in order to determine the weight capacity of the samples and which among them is the most durable sample. Significance of the Study This study determines the weight capacity of plastic waste materials and eggshells mixture as roofing. This investigation would be a piece of a significant breakthrough to the following: Homeowners. The researchers believe that this investigation will help the homeowners to have an alternative affordable and durable roofing to protect, shelter, and defend from the heat, rain and etc. Government. Also, it will help the government to be informed of the researchers’ investigation, so that it will be implied and be used essentially. Students. This investigation will likewise inspire and empower the students to make new conceivable things, arrangements and advancements that will be helpful to conserve our environment. 10 Future researchers. This investigation will help the future researchers to in conducting other related investigations and researches about the qualities of plastic waste material and eggshells mixtures as roofing. Definition of Terms For clarification purposes, the following terms related to the study are defined conceptually and operationally: Eggshells. According to (Cambridge English Dictionary, n.d.) the hard, outer covering of an egg. In this study, it was powdered and it served as our independent variable. Polymer. A polymer is a chemical compound with large molecules made of many smaller molecules of the same kind. Some polymers exist naturally and others are produced in laboratories and factories. (Collins Dictionary, 2008). In this study, polymer is emphasized as a chemical compound of plastic. Weight Capacity Test. According to Caster Concepts, weight capacity test is the generally primary test used to consider choosing the right caster or application of foundation. Exceeding the maximum weight capacity may result to failure and damage. (Reynolds, 2016) In this study, it is used to test and determine the weight capacity of the roof sample products. 11 Plastic Waste. According to (J&K Pollution Control Board, 2012), the general common term for wide range of synthetic or semi synthetic organic amorphous solid materials derived from oil and natural gas. In this study, it was used as one of the independent variables. High-density Polyethylene (HDPE). According to Sciencing, HDPE is a strong type of plastic which can be easily molded. It is usually used to make plastic storage containers for milk and detergent. (Mentzer, 2018) In this study, it is the specific type of plastic used as one of the independent variables. 12 Chapter 2 METHOD This chapter deals with the description of the research design being used, the research subjects, the research instruments, procedure in gathering, statistical treatment of the data to be used in this study. Research Design The Posttest-Only Control Group Design of a true experimental design will be used in this study. It is a type of design wherein there are two set-ups, one of them has received the treatment or intervention and one has not, and the data will be gathered after the treatment or intervention. (Frey, 2018). In his design the experimental group is exposed to a treatment and both groups are measured afterwards. (Insights Association, 2018) Figure 2 presents the model of Posttest Only Control Group Design. There were control and experimental set-ups where treatments or intervention will only be applied on the experimental set-ups and not on the control set-up. The first experimental set-up with 352g powdered eggshells was represented by AX, the second experimental set-up with 500g of pulverized eggshells was be represented by AY, and the last experimental set-up with 850g powdered eggshells was represented by AZ. The control 13 set-up will be represented by AC, all of the set-ups both control and experimental used three replications.

Model Design of the Study Research Subject The subjects of this study were the roof composed of plastic waste materials mixed with pulverized eggshell (PES) to extend the durability of the roof. The plastic waste materials were collected within the extent of the City of Tagum and the Eggshells were collected from the Egg Waffle (kwekwek) Vendors within the City’s premises and then crushed in Blk.4, Lt.2, Renzo Village, Tagum City. Plastics came from the public’s waste that has been disposed from the chicken fast food chain and houses, while the type of eggshell that will be used is the chicken eggshells from the Egg Waffle (kwe-kwek) Vendors in Tagum City. These components were carefully melted and crushed to get the appropriate product result. The desired amount of melted plastic are well 14 balanced along with the pulverized eggshell (PES) using weighing scale by kilogram. The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass. It is currently defined by the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram. (National Physical Laboratory, n.d.) Research Locale This experiment was conducted in block 4, lot 2, Renzo, Tagum City, a residential subdivision, located at Barangay Visayan, Tagum City, Davao del Norte, Philippines. The roof sample was generated and will be kept for two (2) hours in a molder until its cooling stage. The roof samples were molded in a molder and were stored besides the house premises. Figure 3.

Plastic – This was used as the primary component of the roof. 2. Pulverized Eggshell (PES) – This was used as the additives of the roof to maintain durability. 3. Mortar and Pestle – This was be used to powder the Balut Eggshell. 4. Molder - This was used as roof shaping tool. 5. Cauldron – This was used in melting the Plastic waste materials. 6. Metal Ladle – This was used to stir the melted plastic and powdered eggshell. 7. Weighing Scale – This was used to measure the mass of the HDPE and the Eggshell. 8. Wood – This was used as the source of fire for melting the plastic. Experimental Procedures This portion contains the different procedures that was done in conducting this study. Procedures are arranged in chronological order and was done in 3 weeks. 16 A. Plastic Roof Making The following were the steps in producing plastic roof. I. For the Control Set-up: 1. HDPE Plastic waste materials were collected within the vicinity of Tagum City and were gathered in the houses of the researchers in large and organized containers. 2. HDPE Plastic waste materials were weighed 1.4kg and were melted on a large ass pot at its melting point. 3. The melted HDPE plastic was placed on a molder for roof tile sample which is 2 feet by length and 1 foot by width. 4. When the plastic is already formed, the roof sample was removed from the molder and white spray paint was applied on the plastic roofing. The following were the steps in producing plastic roof with eggshells powder. II. For the Experimental Set-ups: 1. Eggshells were collected within the vicinity of Tagum City and were gathered in the houses of the researchers in organized containers. 2. Eggshells were dried under the heat of the sun until it is dry. 17 B. Making Plastic Roof Mixed with Powdered Eggshell 1. Procedure A was repeated and 352g of pulverized eggshell was added while plastic waste materials are being melted and were mixed thoroughly. 2. The mixture was placed on a molder for roof tile sample which is 2 feet by length and 1 foot by width. 3. When the plastic is already formed, the roof sample was removed from the molder, placed randomly inside the house premises and this served as the 1st experimental set-up. 4. Procedure A was repeated and 500g of powdered eggshell was added while plastic waste materials are being melted and was mixed thoroughly. 5. The mixture was placed on a molder for roof tile sample which is 2 feet by length and 1 foot by width. 6. When the plastic is already formed, the roof sample was removed from the molder, placed randomly inside the house premises and this served as the 2nd experimental set-up. 7. Procedure A was repeated and 825g of powdered eggshell was added while plastic waste materials are being melted and was be mixed thoroughly. 18 8. The mixture was placed on a molder for roof tile sample which is 2 feet by length and 1 foot by width. 9. When the plastic is already formed, the roof sample was removed from the molder, placed randomly inside the house premises and this served as the 3rd experimental set-up. C. Weight Capacity Test The following steps were the steps in testing the flexural strength of the dependent variable which is the plastic roofing. I. For Control Set-up and Experimental Set-ups: 1. The sample of plastic roof from the control set-up was placed on two equidistant posts in 1.5 ft. 2. A container is filled with sand and this served as the load material for the test. 3. Load was placed on the plastic roof sample. Each load weighs 9 kg. Another load will be added every after five (5) seconds. 4. When it reaches four (4) loads, the weight of load to be added was reduced. 5. A load of 2 kg was added subsequently until the plastic roof sample reaches its breaking point. 19 Statistical Treatment of the Data The data of the study was computed and interpreted accordingly. These statistical tools function to quantify the results and find differences among the measurements of variable. Mean. The mean is the average of the numbers: a calculated "central" value of a set of numbers. To calculate mean, add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers are given. (Math is Fun, 2018) This treatment will be used to determine the average flexural strength of the three replications. This was used to answer statement of the problem no. 1 and 4. ANOVA. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is an analysis tool used in statistics that splits the aggregate variability found inside a data set into two parts: systematic factors and random factors. The systematic factors have a statistical influence on the given data set, but the random factors do not. (Investopedia, 2018) This was used to determine significant difference in the application of additive. This was used to answer the problem no. 3. T-test. A t-test is an analysis framework used to determine the difference between two sample means from two normally distributed populations with unknown variances. (Investopedia, 2018) This was used to answer problem no. 2 about the significant difference of control and experimental set-ups according to weight capacity. 20 Chapter 3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS In this chapter, the researchers present the results and analysis of the data gathered from the experimentation of plastic waste materials and eggshells in the school year 2018-2019. The quantitative results derived from the improvised testing were organized and tabulated for subsequent analysis and interpretation. Plastic roofing samples were analyzed according to improvised weight capacity test through kilograms (kg). After which, an experiment was conducted to compare the control set-ups with the experimental set-ups wherein different amounts of pulverized eggshells were added to the HDPE respectively in three (3) replications using Post-test Only Control Group Design. Additionally, each table has its corresponding discussion on the descriptive interpretations gathered from the experiment and were interpreted through the researchers’ series of observation. Weight Capacity of both the Control And Experimental Set-ups Table 1 presents the weight capacity of roofing samples in the control and experimental set-up. The table indicates the level of weight capacity of 21 Table 1 Weight Capacity of both Control and Experimental Group Replications Setup 1 2 3 Mean Readings in kilograms (kg) Control Setup 38.365 38.365 38.365 38.365 Experimental 1 (HDPE with 25% PES) 29.365 48.5 58 45.29 Experimental 2 (HDPE with 40% PES) 51 75 75 67 Experimental 3 (HDPE with 60% PES) 158 123 123 134.67 22 Figure 4 Bar Graph of Weight Capacity Among the Control and Experimental Set-ups Figure 4 represents the average weight capacity of each roof sample in both the control and experimental set-ups in the form of bar graph. The average of the samples is read in kilogram (kg). Same data from Table 1 is encoded to Figure 4. This indicates that experimental set-up 3 which has the greatest amount of pulverized eggshell (PES), has the highest level of weigh capacity. 23 plastic waste roofing in four (4) samples. The average of the samples httttttttttttttttghas the reading in kilogram (kg). As shown in table 1, the average weight capacity of plastic waste roofing in the control set-up was 38.365kg. All the three (3) samples in the control setup have the same amount of weight to hold. As also shown in table 1, the average weight capacity of plastic waste roofing in the experimental setup is 45.29kg. Among the three (3) replications, the third sample has the greatest amount of weight to hold with 58kg, followed by the second sample which can hold 48.5kg, and lastly, the first sample which can hold 29.365kg. The average weight capacity of plastic waste roofing in the experimental setup is 67kg. Among the three (3) replications, both the second and third samples has the greater amount of weight to hold with 75kg and the first sample can hold 51kg. Lastly, the average weight capacity of plastic waste roofing in the experimental setup is 134.67kg. Among the three (3) replications, both the second and third sample has the lesser amount of weight to hold with 123kg, and the first sample has the greater amount which is 158kg. 24 Difference of the Weight Capacity of Plastic Waste Roofing Between the Experimental Set-ups Table 2 shows the results of the quantity of significant difference in the weight capacity of the experimental set-ups. The table only used the unit of kilogram (kg). As seen in the table, experimental set-up 3 (plastic waste material with 60% of pulverized eggshells) had the greatest amount of weight to hold among the group which can hold 134.67kg, followed by experimental set-up 2 (plastic waste material with 40% of pulverized eggshells) which can hold 67kg of weight, and lastly was the experimental set-up 1 (plastic waste material with 25% of pulverized eggshells) which can hold 45.67kg. The computed F-value is 8.25 which has higher amount than the tabulated F-value of 4.30, also, it has a P-value of 0.001 which means that the null hypothesis was rejected and was found to be significant at alpha 0.5. This states that there is a great difference between the experimental setups. Moreover, eggshells are efficient as an additive for the durability of roofing because it contains Calcium and vitamin D3. Calcium is the most important nutrient for eggshell development and it has an efficient amount in every eggshell depending on the nutrients that an egg need. Vitamin D3 is also needed because it increases the rate in which Calcium can get 25 Table 2 Significant Difference between the Weight Capacity of the Experimental Set-ups F-value @ a=0.5 Experimental Mean Set-ups (kg) P- Decision on Ho Decision on Difference Rejected Significant Computed Tabulated value Experimental Set-up 1 (HDPE with 38.365 25% of PES) Experimental Set-up 2 (HDPE with 67 40% of PES) Experimental Set-up 3 (HDPE with 134.67 60% of PES) 24.05 5.14 0.001 26 through to provide the nutrients needed for an egg. Both elements play large roles in making an eggshell strong. The components of an eggshell are the main reason why the eggshells are strong (Patrick Biggs, 2018) Difference of the Weight Capacity of Plastic Waste Roofing between the Control And Experimental Set-ups Table 3 presents the difference between the percentage of increase or decrease of the weight capacity of both control and experimental group. The average of each of the parameters with its reading in kilogram (kg) was also provided in the table. Paramount to this, table 3 shows the mean result of the control set-up and the experimental set-up. The control set-up had the average of 38.365 kg, while the experimental set-up 1 (plastic waste materials with 25% of pulverized eggshells) had the mean of 45.29 kg, then the experimental setup 2 (plastic waste materials with 40% of pulverized eggshells) had the mean of 67 kg, and lastly, the experimental set-up 3 (plastic waste materials with 60% of pulverized eggshells) then had a mean of 134.67 kg. Furthermore, on the difference between the control set-up and the experimental set-up 1 (plastic waste materials with 25% of pulverized eggshells), then it was shown that the computed T-Value 0.82 is lesser than 27 Table 3 Significant Difference between the Weight Capacity of the Control Setup and Experimental Set-ups T-value @ a=0.05 Set-ups Mean Computed Tabulated P- Decision Decision on on Ho Difference value Control Set-up Experimental Set-up 1 (HDPE with 25 5 of PES) Control Set-up Experimental Set-up 2 (HDPE with 40% of PES) Control Set-up vs. Experimental Set-up 1 38.365 0.82 4.30 .50 Accepted 45.29 Not Significant Control Set-up vs. Experimental Set-up 2 38.365 3.58 4.30 .07 Accepted 67 Not Significant Control Set-up vs. Experimental Set-up 3 Control Setup Experimental Set-up 3 (HDPE with 60% of PES) 38.365 8.25 134.67 4.30 .01 Rejected Significant 28 the tabulated T-Value of 4.30; thus, having a P-Value of 0.15 fully indicates that it accepted the null hypothesis and was not significant. Moreover, on the difference between the control set-up and the experimental set-up 2 (plastic waste materials with 40% of pulverized eggshells), then had a computed T-Value of 3.58 which is lesser than tabulated t-value of 4.30 with a P-Value 0.07 implies that the null hypothesis was accepted the difference was not significant. Whereas, on the difference between the control set-up and the experimental set-up 3 (plastic waste materials with 60% of pulverized eggshells), then it was shown that the computed t-value of 8.25 was higher than its tabulated t-value 4.30 and a P-Value of 0.01 clearly entails that the null hypothesis was rejected, and its difference was significant. As a final point, two (2) of our experimental set-up were accepted and were found to be not significant at a=0.05 and the last set-up was rejected and was found to be significant at a=0.05. According to International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET), calcium rich egg shell is a poultry waste with chemical composition nearly same as that of limestone. Use of eggshell waste instead of natural lime to replace cement in concrete can have benefits 29 like minimizing use of cement, conserving natural lime and utilizing waste material. (Dhanalakshmi et al., 2015) 30 Chapter 4 SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS Presented and discussed in this chapter were the summary, conclusions and recommendations of this experimental research study. Summary of Findings 1. The mean of weight capacity test of plastic roof in control set-up is 38.365kg. 2. The mean weight capacity of plastic roof in the sample with 25% of pulverized eggshells was 45.29kg, 67kg in the sample with 40% of pulverized eggshells, and 134.67kg in the sample with 60% of pulverized eggshells. 3. When analyzed through weight capacity test between the control setup and experimental set-ups after the application of the pulverized eggshells, the null hypothesis was accepted in the control set-up in contrast with plastic roof with 25%, 40%, and 60% pulverized eggshells since the computed p-value of 0.01 was greater than 0.05. The null hypothesis was rejected in the control set-up vs. plastic roof with eggshells. 31 4. The best mixture for stronger roofing among the set-ups was the experimental set-up with 60% of pulverized eggshells, since it can hold the total mean average of 134.67kg. Conclusion Based from the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. After the experimentation, the weight capacity of experimental setups is higher than the control set-up. 2. There is a significant difference in the weight capacity in the experimental set-up. 3. There is a significant difference in the mean of weight capacity between the control and experimental set-up. 4. The set-up that has the highest capacity with the mean value of 134.67kg was the experimental set-up 3 which was the plastic roof with 60% pulverized eggshells. Recommendations Based on the results and conclusions of this study, the researchers suggest the following recommendations: 32 1. It is recommended to use a molder with enough size and even thickness in order for to achieve a roof sample with specific shape and accurate thickness, and this will help us to have more accurate results. 2. It is recommended to use a large and wide cauldron to have an enough space to melt the plastic waste materials. 3. It is recommended to have a constant heat with 180 degrees Celsius to properly melt down the plastics thoroughly. 4. It is recommended to have a proper place to conduct the experiment to avoid unnecessary commotions like unexpected rain, etc. 5. It is recommended to use HDPE plastic 2, to have high density plastic. 33 References Advanced Roofing, (2018, August 24). Advanced Roofing Ontario Home Improvements.
