Packaging Practices of Selected Coffee Shops in Dasmariñas, Silang, and Tagaytay, Cavite; Basis for Enhanced Sustainable Packaging Guidelines

Abstract: With the major concern on the effects of non-biodegradable packaging materials and individual use plastic cups used by coffee shops in the municipality of Silang and the cities of Dasmariñas, and Tagaytay, Cavite, the purpose of this study is to find and provide alternative ways on sustainable packaging that can be applied in the selected coffee shops. The researcher used Likert scale survey and was given the total of 191 respondents, 152 for the customers and 39 for the staff. The questionnaire/survey contains 2 sections: part 1-for the demographic profile, part 2-customer perception on coffee shops packages practices. Based on the results, the customers and staff strongly agreed that coffee shops in the three cities were following proper waste segregation. The researchers also found that coffee shops commonly use paper cups, paper bags, and paper straws as their packaging materials. Most of the coffee shops also show that they are not giving additional charge for customers who are using disposable cups and they do not offer discounts to customers who bring their own mug.
