Bio-Business of Polymer Derived from Cassava Waste for the Industrial Plastic Sector

Abstract:

This work deals with the design of a bio-business for the production of polymer-based cassava waste, located in the city of Guayaquil, for which several aspects were reviewed: theoretical, regulatory, labor, administrative, technical and financial. This business opportunity is propitious to take advantage of the solid organic waste produced in the markets. The target demand was the entrepreneurs of the plastics industry in the city of Guayaquil. Descriptive, analytical, and cross-sectional method was used, and data collection was done through interviews and surveys to analyze the supply of raw materials and the need for the purchase of the sector. The B2B model was proposed to commercialize the biopolymer. The technical processes were analyzed with semi-mechanize manufacturing to cover the demand and the economic and financial evaluation of the project generated positive indicators for the financial feasibility and sustainability of the project.
