Super Glue Using Orange Peelings
TITLE : SUPER GLUE USING ORANGE PEELINGS
ABSTRACT:
Purpose:
“Super Glue Using Orange Peel” aims to solve improper waste disposal while making the resulting product useful to students.
For the past years, many Filipinos were devastated by floods. Many lives have been lost, properties damaged, and businesses closed due to floods brought about by heavy rains, storms and landslides.
Authorities blamed people for improper disposal of waste materials resulting to the clogging of drainages by plastics, polystyrene and other non-biodegradables. Many landfills were filled by these non-biodegradables that can last forever.
This group focuses on polystyrene since people are having difficulty in recycling this material. The properties of polystyrene that make it a useful material – light weight, low cost, and durable, make it also hard to recycle.
Procedures Used:
The three key factors of recycling materials, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle or 3R’s, will be the main guide in this process, emphasizing on recycling polystyrene and orange peels and produce super glue. Combining these materials were based on characteristics as discussed in several researches and studies.
Results:
The output is superglue, useful to students like us.
Conclusion:
From this study, we can say that each material has its own characteristics, that may or may not complement each other. Before we combine things to produce a by-product, we need to know the characteristics and test their compatibility.
In this study, we found out that the acid contained in the orange peel is the only acid that can melt polystyrene. Melted polystyrene is very sticky and a very good source for glue.

INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study The frequent occurrence of floods in our country devastating many Filipinos, open our eyes to think of ways how we can help. Our help may not instantly solve the problem on floods and waste disposal. But the collaborative effort
