DISCUSSION

CassaWrap Manufacturing Company always incorporates its environmental and economic responsibility in the
company's business strategy. Business Decisions are not only influenced by profitability but also by the impact of the
company and its products to the environment and people.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

The Company operates in a way that will protect the environment. It produces biodegradable and eco-friendly
courier pouches manufactured from starch extracted from cassava, saving marine species and preventing ecological
catastrophes. The courier pouch is non toxic, high loading performance for carrying dry weights, has good oxygen barrier and
anti static properties, and is compostable in months. The company also generates a lot of cassava waste, the cassava peels.
The generated cassava peels will be converted into a paper wrap. The company believes that environmental responsibility
can improve its reputation, increase customer loyalty, and could contribute to the attainment of long-term success as it
drives better business performance.

ECONOMIC RESPONSIBILITY

The company stimulates job creation. It contributes to the economic development of local communities by
employing local people and paying taxes to the government. In addition, CassaWrap Manufacturing Company sources its raw
materials locally as this will create markets for farmers and boost their income. The company was able to facilitate business
growth and generate profits by benefiting the community and society since the use of cassava expanded as it found out that
cassava can also be used as a material in mitigating plastic pollution. Allowing cassava to not just be limited to the food Industry.

ACTION PLAN

Over the years, plastic has become a crucial asset of daily lives as it is cheap, flexible, durable & versatile but the world is
already facing a plastic crisis. This proposal aims to mitigate the world-wide epidemic of non-biodegradable & non-
compostable plastics by a biodegradable, compostable and bio-based plastics made of cassava starch. CassaWrap
Manufacturing Company also aims to make a paper wrap for non-fragile parcels and small to medium sized glass wares out of
cassava peels. The goal of the company is to at least reduce the use of bubble wrap, to acknowledge the limitation of paper
wrap since there are large and fragile parcels that paper wrap cannot secure well. The company believes in going beyond just making
profit by doing the right things in ways that will benefit the environment and the people who live in it.

The following shows the procedure for the proposal.

1. Coordinating with government agencies for acknowledgement and compliance (SEC, BIR, Mayor's Permit, etc.)

be constructed as well as the factory and principal office floor plan.
