Introduction

Most of the people now use plastic items. We all know Plastic can

harm people not only in people but also in our nature. Dedicated to take action on

promoting eco-bamboo products takes the challenge of making a difference in the

manufacturing industry. But this is a dilemma because consumers may not like their

design. Especially children who are used to plastic products because they are simple

and easy to carry. So how is it possible to incorporate together heath and design?

Eco bamboo product explosion understood this particular problem in the

manufacturing industry. As consumers, we also want the product to be quality and

durability. Provided that the minds behind the business venture are also consumers.

A new product is conceptualized in order to serve both design and more importantly,

the ecofriendly value of the product.

Business Background

We make this business proposal for the purpose that we want to serve

our valued customers with a new product manufactured that we give them an eco-

friendly product that will help not only in for adults but the young ones. Nowadays

people would choose a plastic product that has a less healthy safety for human and

natures. Promoting eco-friendly products not just for the consumers but all the

people and nature, Filipino manufactured industries in the country as well they will

encourage.

Objectives

Our business proposal's aims and objectives, which promote eco-

friendly bamboo products, generally center on a few major ideas.

4
 1. Advocate sustainability with renewable bamboo.

2. Reduce environmental impact through biodegradability.

3. Promote awareness and use of bamboo-based items.

4. Support local communities and biodiversity conservation.

Our eco bamboo product business proposal aims to achieve sustainability by

prioritizing renewable bamboo resources, and diminishing dependence on non-

renewable materials. Additionally, we strive to reduce environmental harm by

providing biodegradable alternatives that mitigate pollution and waste.

Problem and statement

The problem faced by the environment now is the environmental crisis

caused by unsustainable materials. It is crucial to tackle this issue as traditional

resources like plastic and hardwoods are harm to our deforestation and give

pollution.

Solution

By promoting our eco bamboo products, we provide a sustainable

alternative, crucial for combating climate changes, reducing waste, and preserving

natural resources for future generation. Bamboo, being highly renewable, grows

rapidly without requiring pesticides or fertilizers. It helps in curbing deforestation as

it can be harvested without killing the plan, preserving natural habitats. Bamboo

products also contribute to minimizing pollution due to their biodegradable nature.

Our proposal aims to encourage the widespread adoption of eco-bamboo products,

providing a sustainable solution to mitigate the environmental impact caused by

plastic and hardwoods.

Risk Assessment

 Supply Chain Disruptions: There may be challenges in sourcing sustainable

bamboo materials or other necessary components. To mitigate this risk,

establish relationships with reliable suppliers and have backup options in case

of disruptions. Diversifying the supply chain and maintaining good

communication with suppliers can help mitigate this risk.

 Quality Control Issues: Ensuring consistent quality across the eco bamboo

products can be challenging. Implement a rigorous quality control process at

each stage of production to identify and address any issues early on. Regular

inspections, testing, and clear quality standards can help mitigate this risk.

 Market Competition: The eco-friendly product market may be highly

competitive. Conduct thorough market research to identify competitors and

their strategies. Differentiate your products by highlighting unique features

and the sustainable aspect of eco bamboo. Develop a strong marketing and

branding strategy to create a niche for your products in the market.

 Consumer Awareness and Demand: There may be a lack of awareness or

limited demand for eco bamboo products. Educate consumers about the

benefits of using sustainable products and the environmental impact of

13
 alternatives. Engage in targeted marketing campaigns and collaborations with

eco-conscious influencers or organizations to raise awareness and generate

demand.

 Production Capacity: Meeting production targets and scaling up production

can be challenging. Regularly assess production capacity and plan

accordingly. Consider outsourcing production or expanding manufacturing

facilities if necessary. Efficient production planning and resource allocation

can help mitigate this risk.

 Environmental Regulations and Compliance: Ensure compliance with

relevant environmental regulations and certifications for sustainable products.

Stay updated on any changes in regulations and adapt accordingly. Engage

with environmental experts or consultants to ensure compliance and mitigate

any potential legal risks.

 Customer Feedback and Satisfaction: Negative customer feedback or low

satisfaction levels can impact the reputation of the eco bamboo products.

Establish effective customer service channels to address any issues promptly

and provide excellent after-sales support. Actively seek customer feedback

and make improvements based on their suggestions.

 Financial Constraints: Insufficient funding or unexpected expenses can pose

a risk to the project. Develop a detailed budget and regularly monitor

expenses. Explore funding options such as grants, loans, or partnerships to

secure adequate financial resources.

 By identifying potential risks and challenges and implementing appropriate

risk mitigation strategies, the eco bamboo products project can navigate these

obstacles and increase the likelihood of success. Regular monitoring and

evaluation of risks throughout the project's lifecycle will help in proactively

addressing any emerging challenges.
