Abstract
This study was intended to determine the effectiveness of the implementation relative to the regulation on the use of plastic and styrofoam materials for packaging in Batangas City. It included assessment on the effectiveness of the information campaign, monitoring policies and regulatory provisions of the ordinance. It also assessed the problems encountered in the implementation. The researchers employed the descriptive research design and used the questionnaire as its main instrument in data gathering. Market vendors, business entrepreneurs and personnel, canteen staff and the implementers from the City ENRO and Task Force Clean and Green were the respondents of the study. The results of the study show that the city government through its implementers, has been very effective in implementing its regulatory provisions and in maintaining its monitoring policies. It has also made its fair share in making the public aware of the ordinance. Finally, the researchers recommended that implementers be empowered to ensure that the regulation is properly implemented on a regular basis, that implementation of the policies be strengthened through education, that there be consistent monitoring on the use of reusable bags, that incentives be offered to the vendors who religiously comply and that the infusion of the Environmental Code in a subject in the tertiary level like Politics of Community Development with Human Rights and Peace Education be made.
