Abstract:

This study determined the feasibility of producing an eco-friendly product called ecotile made from High- Density Polyethelene (HDPE) plastic. Like a gray ceramic tile with black spots, ecotile is smooth and shiny, and it is good for floor finishing. BMM Enterprise would distribute the ecotiles to the different stores in Calamba City and Sta. Rosa City, Laguna. Marketing survey showed the viability of the project for it would supplement the demand for tiles. The project would cost Php 4,632,178.37 for the first year of operation which included the acquisition of property and equipment, production expense, selling and administrative expense and the contingency cost of 10%. Partners would combine their financial resources and managerial abilities to operate the business.
