Waste management is a crucial part of every industry in order to reduce its environmental impact and promote sustainability. The aviation sector produces waste such as oils that are particularly challenging to manage, this is due to the properties of oil which make it toxic to the environment when spilled or burned. The development of a Conversion unit from used oil into diesel is one solution that not only aims to solve this problem, but also repurpose waste oil into a usable source of energy. The development of the unit will provide a system that will allow the proper waste oil management while providing diesel fuel that can be used. The distribution of fuel will not be limited to the WCC Aeronautical College – Binalonan Campus but to the nearby outside communities, mainly the agricultural sector, which uses diesel to power their equipment. In essence, the utmost goal of this research project is to actualize what the researchers call the “3Cs”; COLLECT- CONVERT- CONTRIBUTE. The collection of waste oil, converting it into fuel, and contribute not only to the promotion of environmental sustainability but also to the sectors that use fuel.

The researchers employed a quantitative research design utilizing the descriptive-developmental method is be employed to evaluate the extent of solid waste management practices and encountered problems at WCC Aeronautical and Technological College for the development of a sustainable solid waste management program. A total of 150 respondents, comprising of 5 administrators, 15 cleaning personnel, 18 repair station employees, and 122 college of aviation students residing in the campus hotel participated in the study. A self-made paper questionnaire was used to gather data. Results for the initial survey show that the extent of practices in aircraft-based and household waste is somewhat practiced, while the extent of practice for institutional waste is moderately practiced. The results of the initial survey were used as basis for the development of a proposed sustainable solid waste management program. The level of acceptability of the proposed program for all three types of wastes in terms of sustainability, functionality, and suitability are all highly acceptable. The final form of the proposed sustainable management program will be presented with the remaining areas of concern and further improvements.
