TY - THES T1 - Proposed classification scheme for the waste utilization value A1 - Tio, Jacob Sy LA - English YR - 1991 UL - https://tuklas.up.edu.ph/Record/UP-99796217604651293 AB - Discriminant Analysis was used as a classificatory scheme for the (positive) waste utilization value of different wastes. A total of thirty (30) wastes was surveyed in Metro Manila. Sixteen (16) of these wastes were considered for study using the Discriminant Analysis module of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. Eight (8) variables or factors were identified and measured for each of the waste: Availability, Separation, Handling, Product, Demand, Cost, Technology and Profit. Stepwise discriminant analysis resulted in the rejection of two (2) variables: Availability and Product factors. Three (3) variables: Separation, Handling and Demand factors have significant contribution in the classification of WUV. The overall classification rate is 93.75%. AB - The profile of a marketable waste: high density(not bulky nor expensive to transport), relatively pure (needs no or little separation process) and high substitutability (has a high content of the material to be recycled).
