Introduction:
Sugar cane is the major source of sugar. In Central Luzon, Tarlac has the largest plantation of sugar cane. In Angeles City, companies like Weaverscraft, Incorporated, Golden Cane Furniture Manufacturing, R.A.D.S. Furniture and Modelo, and ZAIJO Woodline Incorporated are into sugar cane business. (Yalwa, 2008) Since, Angeles City is said to be the “Sister City of Makati City”, many would assume that it is purely centralized. The proponents observed the lack of the preservation of the environment in the city. There are masses of industrial fields that are converted to new bridges, villas, buildings, malls, and subdivisions. The proponents arise with converting sugar cane’s skin into blinds. The sugar cane’s skin usually goes to the manufacturer’s garbage bins. Since the proponents are into the preservation of the nature, the skin of the sugar cane will no longer be a trash. Instead, it will be used as the raw material of a unique and creative household decoration – blinds.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Sugarcane, or Sugar cane, is any of six to 37 of tall perennial true grasses of the genus Saccharum. Native to the warm temperate to tropical regions of South Asia, they have stout jointed fibrous stalks that are rich in sugar, and measure two to six meters (6 to 19 feet) tall. All sugar cane species interbreed, and the major commercial cultivars are complex hybrids.
Sugarcane belongs to the grass family (Poaceae), an economically important seed plant family that includes maize, wheat, rice, and sorghum and many forage crops. The main product of sugarcane is sucrose, which accumulates in the stalk internodes. Sucrose, extracted and purified in specialized mill factories, is used as raw material in human food industries or is fermented to produce ethanol, a low pollution fuel. Ethanol is produced on a large scale by the Brazilian sugarcane industry.
Sugarcane is the world's largest crop. The world demand for sugar
