Executive Summary

Plastic straw is a simple invention but has a huge

value. Through this simple thing, it helped people to drink

any beverages at ease. But due to reasons of sanitation,

after using the straw for drinking, the straw will be then

thrown away and will stay around the environment, basically

forever as a junk that will damage the entire environment.

BAMBOOlbee’s main goal is to provide its target market

a sustainable and hygienic bamboo straws. Aside from it, it

aims to promote in preserving and protecting the planet

earth and one way to do this is by saying no to plastics.

This business will produce 100% handmade reusable bamboo

straws that is lightweight, durable and biodegradable. The

bamboo straws are kid and travel and eco-friendly perfect

for desired drinks. Sipping on all-natural straw is a little

meditation on every person’s connection to the earth.

The target market will be Sigmahanon community in

general, to be specific, the target market will be formal

and informal workers, Juice producers, resellers and

wholesalers residing near or around the vicinity.

 BAMBOOlbee doesn’t have any direct and indirect

competitors around the community, but in other

regions/cities that are producing different variety of

straws we have some competitors, but our product will still

standout due to the quality, durability, less toxic,

washable and reusable, and most especially it is environment

and economically friendly.

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

a. Nature

BAMBOOlbee is a start-up business owned and managed

through partnership. Bamboo straws are more expensive than

plastic straws but it can be reused and be cleaned. And when

it comes to health, for the consumer it is better to use

bamboo straws because they are completely natural and

organic. Whereas when you use a plastic straw you end up

consuming some of the chemical toxins, which has negative

impacts on your health. Moreover for environmental stance,

bamboo is also much better. Bamboo doesn’t require any high-

energy processes to make and they are completely

biodegradable. A plastic straw, on the other hand, takes 200

years to break down into small pieces and will never

completely disappears. Through this it will also be a scale

 to reduce plastic waste because obviously plastic is an

issue that transcends borders.

b. Purposes of the Project

1. Bamboolbee aims to promote create a plastic free

III. Marketing Aspect

Existing Market Situation

 Presently, here in the community of Sigma and Province

of Capiz, there are no existing competitors of businesses

that produce bamboo straws but there are some resellers that

sells metals straw similar to bamboo straw but is made with

a different material.

SWOT ANALYSIS

Strength

 Eco-friendly, reusable and chemical-free.

 Produced directly at the location, don’t have a

lot of machineries because it is handmade and the

supplier of the bamboo are here in Sigma, so it

will result to less expenses at an affordable

price.

 Can be engraved with a desired text or design

perfect for souvenirs in special occasions.

Weakness

 The process is handmade so it will take time.

Opportunities

 First manufacturer of bamboo straws in the whole

province.
Threats

 Other may produce bamboo straws with added

chemicals resulting to improved bamboo straws.

Market Segmentation

BAMBOOlbee will focus its marketing activities on

reaching the juice producers, environmentalist, formal and

informal workers, resellers and residents and visitors of

Sigma Community.

 Juice Producers. They are presently using

plastic straws for their juices and it would be

a big step up to them if they will use a bamboo

straw because first of all, it will transform

them into an environment-advocate business and

secondly, it would be a big asset to a juice

drink to serve the drink with a bamboo straw.

 Environmentalist. They are one of our target

market because environmentalists seek to find

eco-friendly alternatives for the things and

tools that they normally use in their daily

lives because they believe that by using

sustainable materials like non-plastic materials

can be a big help in preserving our mother

earth. Therefore, they will really look forward

 into the bamboo straws because it is a handy

tool that can help them to help mother nature.

 Formal and informal workers

 Resellers.
