BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Geopolymer cement concrete is made from utilization of

waste materials such as fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace
slag (GGBS). The use of this concrete helps to reduce the stock of
wastes and also reduces carbon emission by reducing
Portland cement production. As an alternative building material,
this product is extremely important in today's modern construction
industry.

GEOPOLYMER CEMENT
* Lower price compared to Ordinary Portland cement because it
was made up from waste materials.
* Much stronger and fast setting time than the OPC.
* Low Permeability
* Fire Proof
* Environmentally friendly materials. These geopolymer concrete
is a potential replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement. Ordinary
Portland Cement production is the second largest producer of CO 2
emission in the air. While, geopolymer concrete is made up of
waste materials from mining industry and its coir fiber is also
waste material in the coconut production.
FINANCIAL PLAN
From a business point of view, the production of geopolymer
concrete with coir fiber is profitable due to the availability of a rich
raw material base in any country, a good choice of both domestic
and foreign equipment, as well as a simple production technology.

CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
For starting capital, we decided first to borrow a worth of
100,000.00 Php with an interest of 5% in our friend.
We will invest the money in buying raw materials and
manual labors.

OPERATING COST
The price of with ratio 1:2:3 is 35.00 Php compare to 1 bag
of cement is 290.00 Php.

Fly ash: 3.00Php/bag

Sand: 36.00 Php/ bag
Gravel: 37.00 Php/ bag
Activators: 110.00 Php/kg
Coir fiber: 8.00 Php/kg

THPal Mining produces 50 tons of processed fly ash per month.

50 tons of fly ash costs

3,000Php/50tons = 60Php/ton
1bag= 40kg
1tons = 907.185kg
907.185kg x 50tons = 45,359.25kg
45,359.25kg/40kg = 1133.98bags or 1133bags
Amount of activator required for every bag is 35%
40kg x 35% = 14kg/bags
14kg x 110.00Php = 1,540 Php/bags
Total cost of production
1,540 Php + 3,000Php = 4,540Php
For our 100,000Php we produce 24,955 bags in a month.

REVENUES
The revenues of the business will be the labor costs, for
laboratory cost and other equipment. Any further revenue will be
recorded during actual business selling.

PROFIT/LOSS
For 1bag of Geopolymer Cement we well sell it for 35 pesos.
If we will be able to sell an average of 15,000 pcs. of geopolymer
cement in a month, we will be able to earn 450,000 Php with a
profit of 350,000.00 Php. Therefore, in a year the total profit of the
business will be 4,200,000.00 Php.
