Lesson Recycles Waste Materials
7 following the Principles
of “Five S”
It is easy to throw away something and feel glad that you got rid of it and
will never see again. But sad to say, it does not end here. The things you
throw away go somewhere, usually to dumpsites or landfills. Some may end
up in empty lots, rivers, and the sea.

It is also a reality that you are now living in a society where everything is
almost disposable. You tend to buy new things instead of getting old ones
repaired. It has become more convenient to throw away items. You start to
realize that it has become a problem not only for you today but for future
generations.

One of the best ways to manage trash is to recycle them. According to

(Basbas, 2007), recycling is the conversion of old and used materials into new
products.

What’s In

Answer the following questions:

1. What are the principles of “five S” that can be applied in waste

management?
2. How can we contribute to proper waste management?

What is It

Principles of “Five S”

Waste management needs every person’s serious attention and active

participation. Government and non-government agencies around the world
have been joining hands to institute programs to address the global problem
on waste, and its worsening effect to the environment. Individuals living

4
within the community should contribute their share in waste management
efforts. What can you do as an individual?
A method or system of organizing things in the workplace, known as
5S among the Japanese, can also be applied to waste management. 5S
means Seiri, Seiton, Seisou, Seiketsou, and Shitsuke. When translated to
English it also means sort, straighten, shine, standardize, and sustain. The
objective of 5S is to organize a space, sort, and store items efficiently and
effectively so that things are easy to find when they are needed.
The Principles of 5S can be applied at home, the classroom, as well as
in the workplace. The following are the ways by which the principles of 5S
are applied.
 Sorting (Seiri) – This involves distinguishing things or items in the
work area and eliminating the unnecessary items.

Proper Ways of Sorting Waste Materials

1. Decide what is necessary and what is unnecessary.
2. Put a red tag on unnecessary items and keep them in a separate
area.
3. Throw those items which have not been used in the past one year.
4. Things used 6-12 months may be stored at a distance from work
station.
5. Things used more than once a month should be available at a
central point in the work place.
6. Things used hourly/ everyday/once a week should be near the
work station.

 Straightening or set in order (Seiton) – This concerns the use of

efficient and effective storage methods to arrange items in the work
area. This may be done once the sorting is achieved.

Proper ways of straightening waste materials

1. Decide the right places for everything.
2. Put all materials at a place allocated to them with proper label or
signalization.
3. Use alerts or indicators for out of stocks situation.
4. Use floor paint marking to define work area, path, entrance/exit,
cart Trolley, equipment etc.
5. Use display cautious, messages, instructions at proper place.

 Shine or systematic cleaning (Seiso) - Once the clutter has been

arranged and organized, clean the area. Clean every now and then to
maintain order in the work area.

5
 Process on systematic cleaning
- eliminate obstacles in the workplace.
- remove all things that are not in use.
- segregate unwanted materials.
- place components according to their uses.
- use cleaning as an inspection.
- prevent machinery and equipment from deterioration.
- keep workplace clean and safe to work.
- set cleaning frequency - waste removal by cleaning.

 Standardizing (Seiketsu) - Once the first three steps are completed,

you may now standardize the method or procedure used. You may
create visual cues such as signs, checklists that you need for making
sure to successfully implement the cleaning of the work area.

Rules in standardizing waste materials

1. Remove all parts or tools that are not in use.
2. Segregate unwanted materials from the work place.
3. Waste removal.
4. Arrange all necessary items so they can be easily selected for use,
5. Maintain safety.
6. Set cleaning frequency.
7. Use cleaning as inspections.
8. Keep work place safe and easy to work.
9. Maintain orderliness.
10. Everything should be in its right place.
11. Chemicals, combustible, flammable, and poisonous materials
should be properly labelled.
12. Place components according to their use

Importance of standardizing waste materials

1. You will have consistency in the work practices.
2. You will avoid mistakes.
3. With better visual and transparency management work efficiency
will improve.
4. Your activities will be simplified.

 Sustaining (Shitsuke) - Make sure that you maintain regular sorting,

straightening, and cleaning.

Importance of sustaining waste management

1. Less Landfills, More Green Jobs
2. Keeping Your Community Safe
6
 3. Save Energy and Our Natural Resources

Benefits of 5S

 Due to the removal of all but the necessary items in a work area
during the first stage of 5S you remove many instances of the waste of
waiting and motion as items are easier to find and you do not have to
get around unnecessary clutter.

 The second stage of 5S results in ensuring that items (components,

equipment, tools, machines, people) are located in the most ergonomic
and thus efficient (and safer) positions. The operators do not have to
search for things as the use of shadow boards and clear visual
identification ensure that things are immediately to hand and obvious.
These items are located as close to where they are needed and at the
correct most ergonomic height and orientation to minimize handling.

 The third stage of 5S ensures that the work place remains clear of
clutter and that any signs of malfunction become more obvious
leading to actions being taken to prevent more serious breakdowns
and other delays.

 The fourth and most important step is that of standardization,

wherein you ensure that there are standard ways of working. This
ensures that everyone uses the most efficient work method and that
there are clear standards. This prevents delays, defects and other
wasteful occurrences. The right tools in the right place, the correct
methods and standards, and a motivated workforce means that you
will have a far more efficient and less wasteful working environment.
The visual management aspects ensure that anyone can see if there
are problems such as things missing, in the wrong location and so on.

 The 5th stage, sustain, ensures that this continues on an ongoing

basis and that it remains everyone’s responsibility; this ensures that
there is no slippage and that you continue to challenge what you do
and make improvements through the constant involvement of your
staff.

Recyclable Products or Waste Materials
Recycling is an excellent way of saving energy and conserving the
environment. Many things thrown away can be recycled and turned into
new products. Here are some materials that can be recycled.

1. Wood
There are many products that can be produced from recycled wood
like plant box, chair, garden accessories, wooden flooring, and garden
decks.
2. Metal
Aside from wood, metals are highly saleable in junk shops. Companies
buy used cans to be recycled into metal packaging like containers for
canned goods, drinks, and other materials. Metals are also used as
cooking utensils and home accessories or furniture.
3. Paper
Examples of projects that are made from recycled paper are paper-
mache, paper flowers, gift wrapper, paper bag or purse, journals or
memo pad, jewelry box, paper beads, photo frame and paper basket.
4. Plastic
There are many ways of reusing or recycling plastics. It can be made
into water and plant containers, desk organizers, garden lamps, etc.
This is the easiest waste material to recycle.
5. Glass
There are many projects that can be produced out of used glass
containers and bottles. Examples of these are glass bottle sand art,
vases, organizers, container for condiments for the interior and
exterior part of the house.

Responsible Persons of 5s

If a workplace is starting 5S, managers and all other employees should be

included. If anyone is left out, this could lead to confusion or to messes that
people don't want to take ownership of.

It is possible that some people will play a bigger role in 5S than others,
which is fine. There might be 5S coordinators who are in charge of installing
and maintaining, labelling, keeping tracking of assigned tasks, or
introducing new department members to the 5S system. These people will
obviously spend a lot of time thinking about 5S compared to others.
Everyone should think about 5S regularly, though. 5S might initially take
place as an event, but ideally it becomes a part of daily work for everyone.

It's also important to remember that company leaders should participate in

5S, especially if 5S is a company-wide effort. When people see their
superiors taking 5S seriously by participating in it, they'll be more likely to
take it seriously, too.
