The central aim of this research was to explore the feasibility of utilizing an organic cleaning solution as an alternative to chemical agents for eliminating watermark stains on stainless steel kitchen countertops, windows, and equipment. The primary objective was to mitigate the adverse environmental impacts associated with descaling agents. The research employed an experimental design to test formulations of Kamias delimer solutions for their total acidity and the reduction of pathogens such as salmonella, E. coli, and staphylococcus.

This study investigated the potential of green mussel shells (Perna viridis) as a natural filtration medium for treating greywater, addressing the pressing need for sustainable water management. In line with the 6th United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, 2015), the research aimed to provide a solution to water scarcity challenges. Employing an experimental research design, the study develops and assesses a water filtration device utilizing mussel shell powder as the primary medium.

Eggshells are one of the main contributors to waste, especially in the food industry as it is being generated in large quantities, causing numerous problems in the environment. In addition, toothpaste tubes in landfills take up to 500 years to biodegrade. The researchers found a way to lessen this environmental problem in the Philippines wherein is to provide a sustainable solution to these issues with the means of creating toothpaste tablets. A quantitative research design was used for this experimental study to assess the acceptability of the toothpaste tablets.

This comprehensive review examines the multifaceted roles of marine collagen and its derivatives, underscoring their contribution to sustainable healthcare solutions.This review explores the potential impact of marine collagen-based drug delivery systems on improving treatment outcomes and patient well-being. Marine collagen's remarkable biocompatibility extends to the cosmetics and skincare industry.

Banana plants, belonging to the genus Musa, family Musaceae, include Musa paradaisica and Musa sapientum, both cultivated globally for their ripe fruits or culinary uses, with banana peels also being utilized. Medicinal applications can be found in all parts of banana plants. It has a long history of using Indian Ayurvedic medicine to treat many illnesses. Banana is a good source of potassium, vitamin C & vitamin A. Bananas are everywhere in our home, that’s why it is known as zero budget fruit for organic cosmetics.

The study addressed the imperative challenge of waste reduction and environmental impact by proposing a novel approach to create eco-friendly paper plates from transformed rice husks and banana peels. The objective was to explore the viability of these agricultural and organic waste materials as alternative resources for paper plate production, mitigating environmental harm and fostering resource efficiency.

Unhealthy dietary habits in the Philippines, including the consumption of junk food, gave rise to health risks such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. In response, there was a growing interest in plant-based diets, which emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes and have been effective in managing conditions like type 2 diabetes. To address these health concerns, researchers developed a plant-based cheesecake as a nutritious and dairy-free dessert.

This study addresses environmental concerns by enhancing a recycled food waste soap to improve its antimicrobial properties and pass physicochemical analysis. Researchers modified the sustainable soap formula by incorporating lemon peels, eggshell membrane, lemongrass essential oils, and various fruit peels. Laboratory testing confirmed that the mango and pineapple variations of the soap both met the standard pH levels for acceptable soap products, and their antimicrobial analysis demonstrated inhibitory activity against common bacteria.
