Abstract: The use and applications of plastics have brought in its wake unpredictable and undesirable trail of waste and consequential sanitation and waste management and sanitation challenges. Polyethylene has not been spared of this conundrum considering the fact that it is the material used to package water, popularly referred as ‘pure water’ in most West African counties, including Ghana. Substantially large amounts of palm fruit fiber waste find their way into landfills and incinerators also creating waste management problems. To help reduce the environmental, sanitation and waste management challenges associated with waste sachet water polyethylene and palm fruit fiber there is the need to strategically deal with the situation from long term perspective. This paper proposes a technique for developing composite material using waste polyethylene and palm fruit fiber. It is expected that, generally, characterized composites so designed using the proposed technique will find invaluable app

Abstract: Quality in essence and fineness is essentially an intangibility, even though it is conventionally measured through tangibles which are identified in this discussion as quality peripherals. The peripherals are generally measurable outputs. At times, attempts could be observed to realize quality through what is termed as outcomes, which are exceeding the outputs more qualitatively with in-built characteristics of outputs that are felt by the immediate stake holders of an organization. It is however observable that practicing quality assurance processes are more of mechanical procedures and processes which are forcefully thrust upon individuals though systematic documentary and supervisory approaches. The adherence to the processes has become dutiful requirements rather than willful compliances seen as inner obligations. While it is accepted that the practicing quality assurance processes are the base, it is suggested here that intangible aspects could be recognized and integrated in orde
