packaging products. Additionally, this study was explored the insights of Libertadnon
sellers and consumers regarding on how many are agree in using plastic materials as
packaging in products and what is the reason why the sellers and consumers use plastic in
selling and packaging. The researchers used survey method to obtain the needed data and
to determine the overall totality of how many consumers are agreeing in using non-plastic
materials in selling and in packaging products. The researchers also used descriptive

respondents from the main barangays of Centro Weste and Este, from barangay Union and
