This study aims to test the feasibility of using banana pseudo-stem as an eco-friendly alternative to disposable face masks. The researchers are Karleth Angel O. Winer, Ezekiel Ronel B. Barretto, and Ronnel S. Catalan from Group 1. The study will determine if banana fiber filters provide better breathability than disposable masks. It will also examine the materials and processes used, ability to protect against particles, resistance to fluids, potential side effects, acceptability, and durability. The study scope is limited to urban areas in Bambad and Kolambog Isulan, Sultan Kudarat. Hypotheses are that banana fiber masks will or will not significantly differ from dispos

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
THIS STUDY WILL BE CONDUCTED TO TEST THE FEASIBILITY OF BANANA PSEUDO-STEM AS ECO- FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE TO DISPOSABLE FACE MASK
SPECIFICALLY, THIS RESEARCH STUDY WILL SOUGHT TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING
QUESTIONS:
1) DOES THE BANANA FIBER FILTERS CAN PROVIDE EXTRA COMFORT IN TERMS OF BREATHABILITY? 2) WHAT ARE THE MATERIALS AND PROCESSES IN DOING A SUSTAINABLE OR ECO-FRIENDLY FACE MASK? 3) DOES THIS ECO-FRIENDLY FACE MASK HAS THE ABILITY TO PROTECT AGAINST INHALED PARTICLES AND ALSO RESIST FLUID? 4) IF THEIRS SIDE EFFECTS UPON USING THE FACE MASK LIKE ITCHINESS,ALLERGIES ETC. 5) CAN THE SUSTAINABLE FACE MASK BE MEASURED IN TERMS OF? 1.1. ACCEPTABILITY 1.2. DURABILITY
6 ) WHAT CAN THE RESPONDENTS RECOMMEND TO IMPROVE THE PROPOSED SUSTAINABLE FACE MASK?
Hypotheses H0. There is no significant difference between the acceptability, durability, efficiency of banana pseudo-stem fiber mask and disposable face mask. H1. There is significant difference between the acceptability, durability, efficiency of banana pseudo-stem fiber mask and disposable face mask. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

DEFINITION OF TERMS Eco-Friendly- items and materials are defined as being not environmentally harmful.
Fluid- liquid discharge from nasal and mouth.
Mass pollution- huge dumping of waste consuming massive space and contributing
environmental hazardous.
Microplastics- small plastic pieces which can be harmful to our ocean and aquatic
life.
Musaceae- family of flowering plants and is native to the topics of Africa and Asia.
Polypropylene- uses range from plastic packaging, plastic parts for machinery and
equipment and even fibres and textiles.
Pseudo-Stem- the part of the banana plant that looks like trunk.
Respondents - individuals who complete the survey or interview for the researcher.
Sampling technique- the name or other identification of the specific process by which
the entities of the sample have been selected.
