EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

The PlastiCycle represents a transformative journey for plastic materials, shifting

them from being perceived as waste to valuable resources. Through recycling, plastics

are collected, sorted, cleaned, and processed into new products or materials, thus

extending their lifespan and reducing the demand for virgin plastics. This cycle

embodies the principles of the circular economy, where resources are used efficiently and

waste is minimized.

At its core, the PlastiCycle is driven by innovation and collaboration. From

individuals and communities to industries and governments, stakeholders across the

globe are coming together to develop and implement strategies for plastic recycling.

Advanced technologies play a crucial role, enabling the efficient recycling of various

types of plastics and facilitating the creation of high-quality recycled products.

Moreover, the Plastic Cycle brings about numerous environmental, social, and

economic benefits.

“C H A R A C T E R B U I L D I N G I S N A T I O N B U I L D I N 1
G”
 College of International Hospitality Management

PlastiCyle is derived from the word “Plastic and Recycle” . which was mean

recycled plastics. In today's world, the issue of plastic waste has become a pressing

concern, with its detrimental effects on the environment becoming increasingly evident.

However, amidst the challenges posed by plastic pollution, there lies a promising

solution: the Plastic Cycle or Recycled Plastics. This innovative approach not only

addresses the problem of plastic waste but also presents a pathway towards a more

sustainable future.

By diverting plastic waste from landfills and oceans, it helps mitigate

pollution and protect ecosystems. Additionally, recycling conserves valuable natural

resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with plastic production.

Furthermore, the recycling industry generates employment opportunities and fosters

economic growth, particularly in regions with robust recycling infrastructure. As we

embrace the Plastic Cycle, we embark on a journey towards a more sustainable and

circular economy. By recognizing the value in plastic waste and harnessing the power

of recycling, we can create a world where plastics are no longer a burden but a valuable

asset in our efforts to build a cleaner, greener, and more resilient planet. Together, let

us embrace the Plastic Cycle and pave the way towards a brighter future for

generations to come.

Name of the Business

PlastiCyle is derived from the word “Plastic and Recycle”. which was mean

recycled plastics. In today's world, the issue of plastic waste has become a pressing

concern, with its detrimental effects on the environment becoming increasingly evident.

And with that we came up by deciding to make a sustainable plastic cycle wherein

we can be able to make the plastic be reusable again. The term "plasticycle" refers to

the process of recycling plastics, typically in a closed-loop system, where the plastics are

collected, sorted, processed, and reused to create new plastic products.

It emphasizes the concept of creating a circular economy for plastic materials,

red uc in g wa s t e and env i r on men t a l imp act .

Owners of the Business

The business will be managed by a group of colleagues, who are willing to

introduce some typical type of recycled products in the market.

This type of business organization is partnership, because they want to run the

business with the risk of unlimited liability.

Location of the Business

The business will be located at Rizal Avenue, Cauayan City. The place was

chosen because of the high demand of good qualities of souvenirs and pasalubongs

that serves less expensive, budget friendly and eco-friendly souvenirs. The place was

chosen because there are different competitors around the area.

Type of Business Organization

Review of Related Literature

Serge Kubanza (2011-2021)

Waste management is a significant concern in emerging economies, with

governments struggling to achieve growth in urban settings. Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda,

Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Lesotho have implemented policies prohibiting plastic

bags, but insufficient waste disposal practices threaten flora and fauna, and

conservation.

 College of International Hospitality Management

The COVID- 19 pandemic has further exacerbated the issue, with increased

demand for plastic personal protective equipment, leading to increased environmental

and public health issues.

Razali Tomari (2017)

According to him, "Recycling is one of the important approaches to manage the

waste effectively", Recycling is one of the important approaches taken for

managing waste effectively. It is a process of collecting and processing unwanted

materials to be turned into new products. Recently in Malaysia, the government will

require the separation of waste at home starting from 1 September 2015.

Implementation of the separation of waste at home would involve state that adopting

Act 672.

Indonesians struggle to keep their garbage move into proper segregation in the

limited land field, that's why they studied and develop the "automated recycle bin or

reverse vending machine (RVM)", Just like the idea of the researchers to implement

a recyclable Vending Maskchine in the Campus of OLFU to properly manage the waste

efficiently, Relating this to the study The Recyclable Vending maskchine has the

intend to not only Help the campus have a Green environment but also to protect the

students on viruses and small particles that are bad on their bodies by giving them a

recyclable trashes that can harm the environment or the surrounding of the campus.

Shilpa Sambhi and Preeti Dahiya (2020)

They stated that managing plastic waste is an important point of concern these

days. The aim of this is to present the concept of reverse vending machine which is

proposed to serve as a solution to the problem of pollution caused due to plastic items

especially plastic bottles, which are commonly used for storing cold drink, fruit

juices etc. The concept of reverse vending machine is an approach towards green

engineering technology.

CHAPTER 2

MANAGEMENT ASPECT

The individuals who made up the business can be used to examine management

in one way or another. It is believed that they are the ones in charge of the

organization's actions. The planning, decision-making, or exercise of control

and oversight over certain organizational functions is known as management.

Achieving the vision and mission is essential for any kind of organization or

company venture, no matter how big or little. The management needs to be set up

correctly in order to accomplish this.

One of the benefits of using a partnership as a company organization structure is

that it allows partners to provide initial cash for the business. Accordingly, the more

partners there are in the business, the more capital they can contribute, resulting in

increased flexibility and growth possibilities. Flexibility, which makes a partnership

simpler to establish, maintain, and operate. They are significantly more flexible

in terms of management as long as the partners can agree, and they are less closely

controlled than companies in terms of the rules governing their formation and

operations. This is because the partners are the only ones who can decide how the

“C H A R A C T E R B U I L D I N G I S N A T I O N B U I L D I N 17
G”
 College of International Hospitality Management

firm is run, free from interference from shareholders. Shared accountability

between the partners.

This is a joint duty in managing the company. They will be able to maximize

their potential as a result. They could divide the labor based on skill sets instead of

dividing the management and taking equal portions of every business duty. Here,

partners collaborate on decisions and support one another as necessary.More

collaborators approximate to more minds capable of solving challenges the

company may face and contributing creative business ideas.

This feasibility study on management includes information on the number of

employees needed for the business, their work requirements, compensation and

benefits, and the approach to management that will be used.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Conclusion

We are confidently sure that our shop's entity will succeed. Having a huge

market and nearly covered all the necessary and standardized qualities which it

will make a unique product. Cauayan City has a large number of people and its

nearby cities and municipalities which will be served as our customers/quests. We

only have to do is to provide quality products and outstanding service for the

customers to meet their expectations. There are some factors that influence the

availability of the project. Supply of raw materials should be within time. Workers

should be quick and can easily pick-up all the necessary needs for the

establishment for us to provide a quality service and quality products for our

customers. Marketing is a especially important part of every business firm, because

there are no other person whom the retailers can rely in the industry for

penetration and diversification. It is very crucial in all business organization. Every

produced product within an industry has to be marketed otherwise, it will remain as

unsold stock which will result into a loss of profit by the firm and which will be of

no value.
