 ABSTRACT

More than two to three decades ago, the world faced a growing problem that was

threatening the environment-plastic waste. The use of plastic has become an integral part

of modern life, from shopping bags to straws to packaging to bottles. Nevertheless, the vast

amount of plastic consumed by humans has had serious consequences for our planet, from

the impact it has on marine life to global warming.

In conducting this research project, the researchers sought to make a difference by

reducing plastic waste through recycling, as well as highlighting the environmental benefits

of using recycled bags rather than standard plastic bags. The researchers made an effective

product that is stylish, affordable, and eco-friendly. They managed to make it as they

claimed it to be, which is a huge accomplishment. This product will help people save

money while also being kind to the environment, which is a win-win situation.

The Ecosthetic Totes has proved that it is possible to be both profitable and

sustainable. Not only does it show that there are profitable opportunities in the eco-friendly

sector, but it also encourages people to be more conscious of their environmental impact

while creating jobs for unemployed individuals. This business model should serve as an

inspiration to other entrepreneurs looking to make a difference in the world through their

own projects. With everyone's help in reducing our reliance on single-use plastics, maybe

one day we will reach a point where our environment is healthier than ever before.

 Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION

Environmental issues have arisen due to the increase in plastics around the world

for more than two to three decades. Currently, because of poor management, the majority

of these plastics are disposed of in illegal dumping grounds or inexorably burnt in the fields

(Nkwachukwu, 2013). Plastics are useful in daily life in different communities, but if

they’re not properly disposed of, they have the potential to modify several aspects of the

environment. Solid waste management is something that almost every local government

offers to its citizens (Hoornweg, 2012).

The researchers decided to conduct this research project to make a change by

helping in reducing plastic waste through recycling and to emphasize the environmental

advantages of utilizing recycled sacks instead of standard plastic bags. These applications

will save money while also protecting the health of people, animals, and the environment.

And lastly, this will be a way for researchers to help in providing work opportunities to

unemployed citizens.

A. Project Proponents

The proponents of this project are the Accountancy, Business, and Management

students of Arellano University Jose Abad Santos Campus, namely, Andrea Cassandra C.

Alon, Kyla Bianca P. Gato, Caitlin Faith A. Hashimoto, and Rica Rose F. Pecho currently

taking Feasibility Study as part of their curriculum.

1
B. Proposed Business Name

The proponents decided “The Ecosthetic Totes” as a business name. The name

“Eco” from the word “Ecosthetic'' means an environmental object that doesn’t harm the

environment and “sthetic” is a short-term for the word “aesthetic” which serves the designs

of the totes and the purpose of letting youth acknowledge the project being produced by

using the said term. “The Ecosthetic Inc.” is the company name of the business.

The Ecosthetic Totes offers a high quality, eco-friendly, and affordable bag with its

standard of durability and fashionable style wherever you go.

C. Mission

The Ecosthetic Totes creates fashionable, high-quality bags made from sacks with

the goal of serving as a symbol of creativity and love for the environment which will help

to strengthen the eco-friendly movement and encourage responsible consumption.

D. Vision

To establish a strong market presence as a main business and expand internationally

within the next 5 years and to maintain and ensure sustainable production while furnishing

innovative and high-quality products.

2
E. Logo

This will serve as the official logo of THE ECOSTHETIC TOTES

Figure 1 The logo of the business

The company’s logo was made as the owners decided on its design and how it

would look. The business proponent came up with the idea of this logo, saying that it must

be simple yet have a sense of elegance, be easy to recognize, and be appealing to people.

They chose "Pastel Green" because it is calming and a highly adaptable color that is able

to focus attention quickly and get people's attention to it. The circular leaves figure in the

logo signifies nature and the eco-friendly products of the business.

F. Type/Form of Business Organization

The Ecosthetic Totes is a partnership type of business that holds production to

process recycled solid waste materials and repurpose them for the creation of new products.

3
 A partnership business is defined as two or more persons joining their resources to

establish a company and agreeing to share risks, earnings, and losses (American Express

Business Trends and Insights, 2020).

The Ecosthetic Totes is a general partnership in which two or more individuals

share ownership and management responsibilities of a company. In a general partnership,

the partners share in the profits and losses of the business and are personally liable for the

debts and obligations of the partnership.

At this time, the partnership's primary objectives as of now are to preserve the

ecology and decrease the financial burden in the increasing human population is placing

on the economy. Other than that, the entrepreneurs will collaborate with different

foundations, and they will work hard to eliminate harmful pieces that contribute to

environmental pollution and safeguard the well-being of the earth. The partners of this

business are the following:

• Alon, Andrea Cassandra C. • Hashimoto, Caitlin Faith A.

• Barrion, Kyla C. • Israel, Julianna P.

• Bayonito, Mary Anne M. • Marcos, Jehman Andrei

• Bo, Janina B. • Mateo, Jennie Rose C.

• Diocos, Jessa M. • Miron, Lheamie F.

• Gato, Kyla Bianca P. • Pecho, Rica Rose F.

• Guese, Elisha Larsen E. • Villenes, Erica Mae M

G. Proposed Project/Business Location

The business is located at Cartimar Ave, Pasay, Metro Manila. The owners chose

this location to easily reach their target market of adults, teenagers, and students. This

location will allow the business to make profits and grow because there are many shoppers

at Cartimar and no other business has the same concept.

Figure 2 The map of the business location and other establishments around the area

H. History

Due to the global growth of plastics, environmental problems have emerged.

Garbage has been one of our country's problems ever since. Due to people's lack of

discipline, these are not properly disposed of (Nkwachukwu, 2013). Some of these

consequences could be harmful to the environment and even to people. Poor waste

management and non-biodegradability can cause a series of environmental hazards to

safety in our community. With that, the researchers came up with a brilliant idea of

decomposing plastics specifically sack bags properly through the use of creating tote bags.

The company wanted tote bags as their product because custom tote bags seem to have

taken over the market with their usability, versatility in their form, and really because of

customizability.

5
 Through tote bags, we can help lessen the waste and pollution in lands and oceans

caused by plastic bags themselves, as well as the oil resources needed to produce them.

 Chapter II
MARKETING ASPECT

The description of the industry, current market, anticipated future market potential,

competition, sales projections, and potential buyers are covered by the marketing aspect.

These are important to the progress of the business as these serve as business development

factors. This chapter also includes a description of the market, primary target market,

factors that affect demand, marketing program, marketing strategy, survey questionnaire,

and demand structure.

A.Market Description

The Ecosthetic Totes is a business that sells environmentally friendly and high-

quality bags. The Ecosthetic Totes are available for purchase at Cartimar Ave, Pasay,

Metro Manila. To advertise and sell the product, The Ecosthetic Totes also has a Facebook

page, Instagram account, and internet web page. Customers may purchase bags in-store or

place an order online, which will be delivered to their desired address. Posting online will

be very beneficial in spreading information about the company, increasing sales, and

fostering environmental protection activism. The Ecosthetic Totes also gives its customers

comfort by providing a comfortable store that purifies the atmosphere and a clean store to

shop.

B. Primary Target Market

The primary target market of this is people aged 13-70 in the Philippines. The

reason is that custom-made tote bags are known for their versatility and anyone can use

7
them. Also, the company promotes sustainability by encouraging everyone to switch to

using eco-friendly products to help in protecting the environment. Whether you’re a

student, working, senior citizen, an online seller who wants to resell, you want a custom-

made tote bag as your souvenir, or just want to live a sustainable life, you can purchase

these products.

C. Factors that Affect Demand

The cost of the commodity, its value perception, marketing, income, purchasing

power, shifts in preferences, and fashion are just a few of the variables that affect domestic

consumption. Demand is influenced by a variety of variables. It has to do with how goods

and services are being used. This is in order to manage the market and interact with supply

in a free economy.

Every so often, trends play a significant role. Consumer preferences and interests

are continuously changing; therefore, a product may eventually become outdated. This

could therefore affect demand.

Consumers are more likely to spend money if they believe their jobs are secure.

Consumer confidence is the term for this tendency. Consumer confidence, which is defined

as how consumers feel about current economic conditions, reflects the health of the

economy as a whole. Nonetheless, people are more likely to deposit their money in savings

accounts when consumer confidence is low, especially if interest rates are high.

Competitors, on the other hand, are constantly trying to gain a larger market share,

possibly by lowering their pricing or by releasing a new or improved version of a product.

8
A competitor is a person, business, team, or organization that competes with you or your

business (Nordqvist, C., 2021).

D. Marketing Program

To raise awareness and interest in the business, the company will use the following

promotional strategies:

● Word-of-mouth Marketing. It is a great way to reach new customers and build a

positive reputation. Word of mouth can bring in potential clients while also helping

existing patrons develop a healthier relationship with the business. This aims to

inform and encourage clients to participate in the business.

● Sales Representation Services. The salesperson will be in charge of responding

to customers’ questions about the products’ concerns and services. Also, they are

in charge of online conversations with potential customers, letting them understand

what to anticipate next and responding to their commonly asked questions.

● Email Newsletters. Respondents to the survey will be requested to provide their

email addresses and indicate an option of receiving notifications through it. By

providing concise and comprehensible updates regularly, the pamphlet distributed

via email keeps customers up to date on the latest information about the product.

Also, they have the option to unsubscribe from the email to guarantee that the

business only communicates updates to those who are interested and willing to

receive them.

9
 ● Discount Vouchers. Customers can get vouchers that will allow them to take

advantage of a "buy two, get one" deal and purchase the product for a lesser price.

Moreover, the company will run raffle contests on its Facebook page and in-store,

giving away products or unique prizes to lucky customers.

● Facebook Page. Facebook enables businesses to easily build pages for posting

images and videos, as well as communicating with customers. It also appeals to a

wide range of crowds and is totally accessible. The business can freely connect with

Facebook users who are part of the target market by having a Facebook page.

E. Marketing Strategy

The Ecosthetic Totes will offer fashionable, trendy, and eco-friendly tote bags

instead of standard plastic bags for the main reason of eliminating the need for single-use

plastic bags that have proven to harm the environment. The following marketing strategies

will be employed:

● Product assortment. The company's product assortment is crucial to its success

because it affects the customer's purchasing experience. The company will use a

deep assortment type of product selection. It will cater to fewer product lines but

provide a greater variety of products. This will be its way of attracting dedicated

and loyal customers. With hundreds of variations within each line, customers can

find exactly what they want in the store.

● Store location. Due to its proximity to local enterprises, the store's location is one

that the target market is likely to recognize and visit.

10
● Price. The bag provides the ideal balance of product features, quality, and service

at a reasonable price. Customers will be drawn to the reasonable prices that would

cause customers to purchase many more products.

● Promotion. The promotion that the company will imply would be attracting

customers through flyers, an internet web page with pictures and information about

customers through flyers, an internet web page with pictures and information about

the company and its products, and word of mouth. And by this, they could expand

their branch locally and internationally.

11
F. Survey Questionnaire

 Chapter III
TECHNICAL ASPECT

The technical aspect of The Ecosthetic Totes states the operational activities, waste

management disposal, physical facilities, floor plan, store process, safety control measures,

materials-administrative, equipment and tools, uniform, and I.D.

A.Operational Activity

The office hours of The Ecosthetic Totes will be from 7:30 am until 9:00 pm from

Mondays to Saturdays. Employees are also given a 1-hour lunch break.

B. Waste Management Disposal

In a business, effective waste disposal must also be done in keeping with accepted

environmental regulations. A great business is not only profitable, but it also has a

well-managed garbage collection and disposal system.

There are three (3) garbage bins inside and outside the Ecosthetic shop that separate

recyclable, non-recyclable, and medical waste. Garbage will be taken out of the store

before it closes to be collected by garbage collectors, since garbage collectors in Cartimar,

Pasay City collect garbage every day. Recyclable waste will be collected and delivered to

the junk shops.

C. Physical Facilities

The business is located at Cartimar Ave, Pasay, Metro Manila. Outside the building,

there will be enforcing safety cautions to protect anyone from harm and danger. People

25
will meet the security guard first to inspect any case of suspicious activity. Then inside, the

commercial building is air-conditioned to ensure a comfortable environment for the people

and customers. The building consists of 3 comfort rooms available for 3 Genders; Men,

Women, and Non-Binary for personal use. Most importantly, every corner of the hall has

a trash can to preserve waste management and protect the ecology inside and outside the

facility at all costs. The products are arranged according to their design and variant, there

will also be 2 sales attendants in the cashier area for payment. In case of emergency, it also

has a back food fire exit.

D. Floor Plan

Figure 4 The floorplan of the store

26
E. Store Process

For the store process of this business, it will start by welcoming and greeting the

customer. After that, the staff will ask the customer what they are looking for or if they

want to be customized the design of their tote bag and the staff will assist them at the

cashier to discuss what design they prefer for their tote bag, after discussion for the design

the staff will give a number and if the design is done, the number will be called. After a

few days, they can get the tote bag either delivered or pick up. For the other option, if the

customer wants to purchase the design display in the store, the staff will assist them to the

cashier for payment. After payment, the staff will give a number to the customer and if the

order is done, the number will be called while fixing the order within a few minutes the

customer will wait in the waiting area. After that, products are placed in a paper bag and

the receipt should be given. After purchasing, the staff will be thankful to the customers

for shopping.

Figure 5 The store process of the business

27
F. Safety Control Measures

A guard on duty assigned to the store has to know and maintain the safety of the

employees and consumers that come in and go out inside the store, the closed-circuit

television (CCTV) camera will be placed inside the store to monitor and check if ever we

had an emergency. A part of these efforts may include requiring employees and shoppers

MANAGEMENT ASPECT

A business's organizational structure and management activities are discussed in

this chapter. It outlines the proponents of the business, as well as the organizational chart,

which indicates how command flows, and the articles of partnership, which define the

rights of the owners. This chapter also defines the duties and responsibilities of employees.

A. Organizational Structure

The organizational structure shows the flow of every task and duty of employees

from different levels of management in a business. As a general partnership, it is owned by

people with the same goals of profit and enthusiasm. An organizational chart gives you a

skeleton view of an organization.

The Ecosthetic Totes is a shop located in Cartimar Ave, Pasay, Metro Manila that

provides rental services to businesses to place their products. A general manager is

responsible for store operations. Two (2) seamstresses alter and construct sack bags into

standard-size tote bags. The painter paints the tote bags according to customers'

specifications and needs. The two (2) sales clerks are responsible for marketing the

company and dealing with clients. The cashier is assigned to receiving payments and

issuing receipts, gift-wrapping packages, and keeping track of all cash and credit

transactions. The on-call outsourced accountant is responsible for keeping the company's

books of accounts.

37

Labor Code 91 (1)).

2. After five (5) days of regular labor, an employee is given one (1) day

45
 off (according to Labor Code Article 91(1)). Based on the needs of operations, an

Employee may be obliged to come in for work on his day off, in which case he will

be paid 30% more than usual (according to Labor Law 93(1)), for the work he

completes.

3. Work may be done for longer than eight hours each day as long as the employee

receives overtime pay in accordance with (as per Article 85, labor code) which must

changed in the event that payday happens on a holiday or the weekend. (Twice-

monthly wages are paid according to Article 103 of the Labor Code, at intervals of

no more than sixteen (16) days). All salaries are distributed by the manager directly

into the direct deposit accounts of the employees. (According to the Labor Advice

on ATM Salary Payment).

Attendance:

 Chapter VI

SOCIO ECONOMIC ASPECT

The socio-economic feasibility is defined as the factors between society and the

economy that may affect the business. In addition to defining how the business contributes

to fostering a good relationship with society, it also outlines what its responsibilities are in

contributing to the growth and development of the economy as a whole. This chapter

enumerates the benefits contributed by this business to the employees, the government, the

local people, the municipality, the environment, and the country.

A. Employees

Employees play a vital role in the success of any business by managing and

operating it to generate enough revenue for sustainability. They are considered as the

primary asset of any company or business institution, contributing significantly to various

functions. Excluding them will result in fragmentation, causing significant problems to the

company's operations. Giving stable income and employment opportunities to qualified

individuals is one of the essential roles’ businesses fulfill.

With The Ecosthetic Totes, job opportunities are created in the locality, reducing

unemployment. As a result, the unemployment rate will be reduced.

78
B. Local People

In addition to contributing to the economy, the business will also bring growth and

innovation to the community in which it is located. Therefore, the place has a huge potential

for a profitable market. This will encourage investors and entrepreneurs to establish more

businesses within the area.

The Ecosthetic Totes is also capable of providing quality service that will help to

build a positive relationship with its customers and clients.

C. Municipality

Along with this business, it will provide employment chances for those who are

unemployed in the area. The business will gain from the collection of income, corporation,

and business taxes as well as licenses, and municipal fees, which will also benefit the Pasay

government. They can boost the government's income which can then be put toward local

and national government programs. The company may also take part in local government

environmental projects.

D. Environment

By reducing and reusing the materials it uses, the company will do its part to protect

the environment. In the process, it will help cut down on the costs for the company. The

likelihood of acquiring fees and having to perform potentially expensive remedial work in

the case of an environmental crisis will be reduced by preventing environmental damage.

The business will also motivate other businesses and establishments to participate

79
in local or national government campaigns or seminars about the environment. The

business will also educate its clients, customers, and staff members about environmental

issues.

E. Country as a Whole

Businesses play a vital role in boosting the economy through their contributions.

They can aid economic growth by creating job opportunities for those who are currently

unemployed. With significant revenue generated, this company will pay substantial taxes

which go towards funding important public services such as police and fire departments,

and constructing educational institutions. As a result, they contribute to community and

national development. Additionally, this business helps protect the environment by

reducing plastic waste disposal - an issue of paramount concern today.

The Ecosthetic Totes will do all its effort to help the economy and the country as a

whole.
