PROJECT SUMMARY
The project summary contains the synopsis of the study. This chapter introduces the
business and its product, location, project long term objective, feasibility criteria and
highlights of the product. It also includes the time table and status that shows the plan of
target activities which helps to meet the desired results in the business.
INTRODUCTION
Pottery is one of the most durable art forms, with many fragments found from
almost all periods and civilizations worldwide. Flowerpots have several uses, such as
transporting plants to new locations, starting seeds, patio and indoor cultivation, and
growing tender plants in colder regions indoors. Local pottery, especially in the northern
part of the Philippines, such as the I locos region, survives through the steady local
purchases of pots for various uses: as cooking wares, containers for drinking water, fish
sauce, and other delicacies, and as plant adornments. Pots are made from multiple
materials, and some will suit your situation better. A large pot can support plant growth
all season, and there must be a drainage hole in the bottom of the pot. The soil in pots
often warms up faster than soil in the ground, so an earlier harvest of some vegetable
crops is possible. There are a lot of pots made of different materials, such as pots made of
clay; clay pots are readily available, suitable for growing plants, and attractive. However,

appearance, lightweight, durable, and affordable, plastic pots are good for plant growth.
Without a doubt, some are more attractive than others. Some have realistic finishes that
mimic terra cotta, concrete, or stone, and some have rolled rims to give the illusion of
thickness. Larger sizes can be as expensive as pots made of more traditional materials.
Generally, with plastic, you get what you pay for. Cheaper pots may fade and crack in
time, while more expensive ones made of polypropylene do not fade or crack quickly,
and some also offer good insulation. Glazed Ceramics are the most colorful pots, ranging
from subtle earthen tones to playful, vibrant glazes. They are heavy and moderately
expensive in larger sizes. They will break or chip if dropped. Fiberglass, this classic style,
durable, and lightweight containers command premium prices. Because they are more
expensive, these pots are harder to find, and you’ll probably have fewer size and style
choices. The downside is that fiberglass can be brittle and may crack if dropped, and it is
a good insulator from heat or cold. Concrete, attractive, durable, and affordable concrete
pots can be found for sale from local wayside shops that manufacture them and in highly
styled forms from the trendiest shops. They are suitable for plant growth. They can be
expensive in large sizes and are indeed heavy, making them challenging to bring home or
move into the garden. Because they are concrete, consider them permanent.

Pot Plants absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Potting mix purifies the
toxic air gases that leach from floorboards and carpets. TVs and window coverings
contribute to poor indoor air quality. Scientists at NASA found that indoor plants are
incredibly effective at reducing harmful toxins from the air in confined spaces. The
primary weapon is the potting mix, which feeds bacteria in the air. But this doesn’t mean
a plant less pot is the way to go- the pant nourishes the soil, purifying the air. Burchett

terms of the founders of this business and added the product that the industry will
produce. Therefore, the business name is Triple M Plant Pot Manufacturing. Triple M
Plant Pot is a manufacturing company that produces plant pots made from dried leaves,
specifically Mahogany leaves. The company wants to help to decrease the amount of
pollution in the country and to produce a sustainable product. Furthermore, dried leaves

help the environment since the country already lacks trees because of human activities
and abuse. The idea was developed by the proponents of what can be made in the dried
leaves that can be useful for the user and the environment. From this, the proponents

Dried Leaves Pot is an environmentally friendly business and practically handy for
users. This type of product can be beneficial in conserving trees. The proponents named
the company “Dried leaves,” which means even the things that had been fall, there are
new things we can create like this product. By this, dried leaves will have a better
purpose than being trash, and their components are cheaper and eco-friendly. This
business aims to satisfy the customer and provide them a good quality pot.

product descriptions and the link between supply and demand, demonstrating the size of
the market gap, the pricing analysis, and the market share in the sector. By comparing the
product's demand condition to its existing competitors and considering various elements
that impact the viability of the products and marketing strategy, potential marketability

Clay, ceramic, glass, and other materials can all be used as the main

The company's Eco Plant pot product will employ indoor and outdoor pot
plants. Using dried leaves as a substitute for clay, ceramic, glass, and other
materials in the production of pots can have a significant positive impact on the
environment. By doing this, dried leaves will serve a use other than becoming
trash, and their constituent parts are also far less expensive, less wasteful, and
more environmentally friendly. The preservation of trees can benefit greatly from

year of 2027, this shows that the supply of plant pot is increasing in five
projected years. This shows that the product is feasible if this will be produced by
the proponents. If this data will continue until year 2027, there will be a
possibility that the business will grow and the product being produced by the
company will be useful to the users. This projected supply of plant pot is the one
of the bases if the product being produced is feasible and has the opportunity to
grow in the market. This can also be considered if the business will be patronized

Given that their Plant pot can be used as an alternative to both plastic and

The table 3.2 above presents the standard time needed to manufacture a
product and the company's production forecast for the upcoming days. This
forecast has assisted the operators in determining their daily output targets. The
standard time for creating the product is 105 minutes, which includes 5 minutes
for preparing raw materials, 10 minutes for washing the dried leaves, 30 minutes
for drying, 10 minutes for grinding, and 5 minutes for paper pulping. The crushed
dried leaves are mixed with paper pulp and cornstarch for 10 minutes, half cooked
for 5 minutes to form a paste. The mixture is then molded in a plant pot with
another mixture for 10 minutes and dehydrated for 20 minutes to remove moisture
and create a solid product. The company can produce 200 units per day.
