II. STUDY BACKGROUND

Brief Description of the Company

As a team of ABM students from STI COLLEGE Munoz Edsa, we recently founded
ECOVASE, a company with the aim of promoting sustainable living practices through the
creation of eco-friendly vases. Our motivation for establishing this business came from our
observation of the serious problem of solid waste management, which has been amplified by
climate change. As conscious students, we wanted to do our part in mitigating this issue and
making a positive impact on the environment.
At ECOVASE, we produce handmade vases from recycled materials that are ethically
sourced and eco-friendly. We take pride in using green supplies, which help us reduce our
carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier and cleaner planet. Moreover, we guara ntee
our customers that our vases are of exceptional quality, with a stylish design that will enhance
the aesthetic appeal of their homes or offices.
We remain committed to our educational goals, which involve disseminating information on
the importance of sustainable living practices and promoting environmentalism in our
community. Through our business, we hope to inspire and encourage others to join u s in
championing the cause of eco-friendliness, while also contributing to sustainable economic
growth.
ECOVASE is a company that is deeply committed to environmentally responsible practices.
We produce high-quality, handmade vases from recycled materials that are ethically sourced,
and we aim to promote sustainable living practices through community education and
outreach. Join us as we work towards creating a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable
planet for generations to come.

Products and Services Offerings


Eco Vase Company offers a range of eco-friendly products and services centered on our
innovative and practical design of the "eco-vases". Unlike other vases in the market, our
vases are made from recycled newspapers, making them sturdy and less prone to
breakage. Additionally, by choosing our eco-vases, you're also contributing to preserving
the environment.
Our company was inspired by the belief that vases should not be inaccessible for those
who love flowering plants, and we noticed that there are few options available for vase
shopping. This prompted us to expand our product range by introducing a minimalist vase
that doubles as a stationery holder. This way, you can use it to organize your pens, pencils,
and other stationery items, making it easier for you to find what you need.
We understand that sometimes it can be frustrating to search for items in your bag, which is
why we crafted this stationery holder to make your life simpler. Our target market is
primarily students and educators from STI-College Munoz, but our products are available
for purchase by anyone. With our eco-vases, you not only get an excellent product but also
make an eco-friendly choice that contributes to a better future for everyone.
