Executive Summary

Bamboost Essentials is a partnership form of business that advocates a forward-

thinking approach toward enhancing both environmental sustainability and individual

well-being. The name "Bamboost" cleverly combines "bamboo" and "boost,"

encapsulating the core concept of maximizing the advantages of bamboo as the primary

material for its products. "Essentials" in the business's name reflects its commitment to

producing a practical and relevant item that enhances people's lives. The business is

driven by its impacts on health, the economy, the environment, and society.

Relatively, Bamboost Essentials' mission is to promote the health and well-being

of the community. Its flagship product, the Kawayan Quench, encourages regular

consumption of safe and clean water while offering a multitude of health benefits.

Equipped with UV-C LED technology, the Kawayan Quench ensures water sterilization,

reducing the risk of waterborne illnesses while creating this innovation to empower

individuals in accessing safe drinking water anytime, anywhere, and foster better health

outcomes.

Strategically, the business will be situated inside Gaisano Capital Ozamiz for

accessibility and visibility. Relatively, it targets the residents of Ozamiz City especially

those who are environmentally and health-conscious individuals. The product is designed

to detoxify and cleanse contaminated or unsafe water, making it a reliable source of safe

drinking water. The market size is estimated based on a sample study, revealing that a

significant portion of the population is interested in the product. This is merely supported

by the survey results which indicate a strong inclination towards using flasks for daily

water consumption. Additionally, the survey highlights a concern about consuming

 2

unpurified water, with a significant percentage of individuals using tap water and spring

water. This has been supported by its market research that demonstrates a high

acceptability of Kawayan Quench among its target market which denotes that they are

willing to purchase both standard and customized designs of the product. This favorable

response suggests that the business can cater to a wide range of preferences. Meanwhile,

the projected demand calculations show a steady increase in demand over the next few

years which asserts that it is expected to capture a substantial portion of the market share,

given its unique features, quality, and market acceptance.

However, to ensure a relative pricing approach, the business will employ value-

based and cost-based pricing strategies, ensuring that the product remains affordable

while offering exceptional quality and considering raw material costs, direct labor, and

additional fees for customization to determine a competitive selling price. Nevertheless,

economic conditions, government policies, customer demand, weather fluctuations, and

competition are key factors that can impact the business. By staying compliant with

regulations, addressing customer needs, and adapting to market changes, Kawayan

Quench aims to maintain a strong position in the market.

Subsequently, the business employs effective comprehensive marketing strategies

which include direct selling, advertising, and public relations efforts to raise awareness

and generate interest among potential customers. In this vein, the business is poised to tap

into the growing demand for eco-friendly and health-conscious products with a unique

selling proposition, a well-researched market approach, and a strategic marketing plan to

effectively position its offering in its chosen market while contributing positively to the

environment and community health. Furthermore, to operationalize the business, it needs

 3

to have a capital requirement amounting to Php 363,000.00 to defray all the required

business expense which will be shouldered by the business partners with an expected

Return on Investment of 32.36%.

Significantly, the business plays a pivotal role in the economy, particularly

through its competitive presence in the flask and tumbler market. This not only signifies

economic growth but also creates job opportunities in manufacturing and generates

additional revenue streams for suppliers. The business contributes to a flourishing

economic landscape while addressing essential needs. With the use of reusable flasks and

reducing reliance on plastic water bottles, Bamboost Essentials actively minimizes

environmental harm, fostering a cleaner and greener future while providing a trend-

setting approach to customers by aligning their preferences with eco-friendly practices.

Therefore, Bamboost Essentials epitomizes a business that seamlessly blends

innovation, environmental responsibility, health consciousness, and societal awareness.

Through products like the Kawayan Quench, the business empowers individuals to make

impactful choices that benefit themselves, their communities, and the environment at

large.

Introduction

Water is a valuable, limited resource that is necessary for life. Only 3.5% of the

water on earth is freshwater that can be used by humans, and only 1% of that freshwater

is found in rivers, lakes, or streams that flow freely (Moorthy & Bibi, 2023).

Nevertheless, there is enough drinking water on the earth to suit everyone's needs.

However, not every family has access to or availability of safe drinking water that is free

from microorganisms and priority chemical contaminants (Hans, 2023). One of the

biggest problems that humanity is currently experiencing is providing for these

fundamental necessities.

The UN General Assembly recognized the human right to water and sanitation on

July 28, 2010, stating that these rights must be upheld for all other human rights to be

realized (Ki-moon & General, U. S. 2010). The 2030 Agenda action plan's Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs) asserted to aim the 17 SDGs which is to "end poverty in all

its forms,” but the six particular SDGs on water are included in these new goals, which

are the replacements for the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) adopted in 2000.

SDG6 has eight global targets for the management of freshwater resources, wastewater,

and the environment (Cf, 2015; Garrido-Ruso et al., 2022). Its goal is to "Ensure

availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all." Since 29% of

mankind does not have access to reliable drinking water, the first goal is to "Achieve

access to safe and affordable drinking water" before 2030 (García-Gil et al., 2021).

Approximately, there are 844 million people who do not have access to clean water, and

every day, almost 1000 children die which is why the importance of securing this

fundamental necessity cannot be overstated (Mohammed et al., 2023).

 5

The World Health Organization defines safe drinking water as not only free from

immediate health hazards but also free from any long-term microbiological, chemical, or

radioactive threats. Tragically, this crucial resource remains inaccessible to a significant

portion of the global population, highlighting an urgent need for innovative solutions

(Geall & Al'Afghani, 2019).

In the post-Covid-19 era, the desire for clean and uncontaminated drinking water

in various homes and public areas has evolved from a personal preference into a global

priority. Because of the pandemic's widespread effects, it is more important than ever to

strengthen our immune systems against all potential dangers, including the virus itself as

well as other watery illnesses like cholera, amoebic infections, and more (Spearing et al.,

2020).

Even though the issue of water shortage and accessibility has received a lot of

attention in recent years, there is still a need for more research on how to effectively

adopt novel solutions to the urgent problems of providing everyone with access to safe

and clean drinking water (Desye, 2021). Despite the fact that international organizations

like the United Nations recognize access to clean water as a basic human right, many

people around the world still lack it, especially in places that are economically

underdeveloped and isolated geographically (Hans, 2023).

The majority of recent study has been devoted to examining the severity of water

scarcity, its effects on public health, and the socioeconomic implications. However, there

are still few thorough studies that objectively review and evaluate the viability and

effectiveness of creative initiatives, including the combination of cutting-edge technology

with environmentally friendly materials, in providing clean drinking water to underserved

 6

groups. Further research is needed on the concrete results of such efforts, both in terms of

the influence on human health and the sustainability of the ecosystem through product

development (Geall & Al'Afghani, 2019)..

The ongoing water accessibility problem and its wide-ranging effects serve as a

stark reminder of the urgent need to close this research gap. Despite the fact that there is

enough freshwater to meet everyone's needs, millions of people still go without access to

sources of safe and clean water. The 2030 Agenda's inclusion of Sustainable

Development Goal 6 (SDG6), which aims to ensure the accessibility and sustainable

management of water and sanitation for all, emphasizes the necessity.

In this vein, Bamboost Essentials seeks to establish an enterprise ready to

confront the persistent problems associated with access to clean and safe water. The

Kawayan Quench, a clever tumbler made of sustainable bamboo, stainless steel, and

fortified with UV-C technology, as the center of their mission. It is not only a drinking

vessel, but also an epitome of their dedication to providing people with clean, detoxified,

and truly refreshing water regardless of where they live or their socioeconomic status.

The driving force behind Bamboost Essentials' Kawayan Quench is disarmingly

simple yet profoundly impactful as it creates resounding answers to the pressing

challenges of water safety and purity without distracting our fragile environment. By

seamlessly merging advanced technology with eco-conscious materials which is the UV-

C LED technology, the company embarks on a journey to redefine not only how we

consume water but how we safeguard our planet and create a more sustainable future.

As we stand to address the pressing concern for environmental preservation,

public health, and ethical commerce, Bamboost Essentials emerges as a beacon of hope
 7

and practicality. This business intentionally addresses water accessibility issues through

the ingenious Kawayan Quench and serves as a forward-thinking venture that charts a

course towards not only rectifying a global predicament but also inspiring a significant

effect of positive change. With Bamboost Essentials, the vision for a world where safe,

clean, and revitalizing water is within everyone's grasp inches closer to reality.

Market Plan

Business Description

Bamboost Essentials is an innovative partnership form of business venture that is

committed to balance individual and environmental well-being. By combining the words

"bamboo" and "boost," the business represents the fundamental idea of utilizing bamboo's

environmental advantages to improve everyday necessities. The proposed business

venture aims to promote health, elevate lifestyles, and contribute to a greener future,

while empowering people with seamlessly integrated sustainable products. Its main goal

is to provide useful product while embodying environmental awareness, having a positive

impact on people's well-being, economic development, and planetary vitality. The

Kawayan Quench as its main sophisticated tumbler represents excellence and innovation

which is made of sustainable bamboo, stainless steel, and supplemented with UV-C LED

technology assure to provide a water sanitation and detoxification as the focal features of

its product.

Product Description

The Kawayan Quench is seamlessly designed to improve safe water consumption.

Primarily, its main components are composed of bamboo and stainless steel to create a

minimalist yet fashionable flask that promotes both sustainability and health. The outer

wall is painstakingly crafted from bamboo, a rapid-growth and sustainable resource that

boasts lightweight durability - ideal for flask production without harmful runoff (Shen et

al., 2019).

The Kawayan Quench's revolutionary UV-C LED technology, a game-changer in

water detoxification and sterilization, is its most notable product feature. UV-C LEDs are
 9

a potent force in water disinfection, sterilizing containers, food goods, and even surgical

equipment (Santhosh and Yadav, 2019). The eco-friendly mindset is perfectly aligned

with this technology because it provides water purity without producing waste.

Additionally, stainless steel, a substance chosen for its remarkable qualities, is

incorporated into the Kawayan Quench. Stainless steel stands out for its superior to other

metals and unmatched resistance to corrosion and rust (Xie et al., 2019). Its amazing

ductility makes it possible to shape and sculpt it without sacrificing structural integrity.

Stainless steel is perfect for producing containers because it has a strong tensile strength

that guarantees longevity. Furthermore, Li's research (2022) noted that its ability to adapt

to changing temperatures makes it a useful material for creating water containers that can

easily store both hot and cold beverages.

Using the Kawayan Quench to access safe water has a number of benefits

including enhanced overall well-being and defense against waterborne diseases like

cholera, typhoid, and skin infections. In addition to improving health, this ground-

breaking flask spurs economic expansion by reducing the expense of treating illnesses

caused by contaminated water. Notably, it helps reduce the discharge of untreated

wastewater, which is essential in metropolitan contexts where aquatic bodies are at risk.

More so, the product will be created to meet the needs of a wide range of water

enthusiasts looking for secure hydration while on the road. This flask, which comes in

sizes from 350 ml to 1,000 ml, suits people of all ages and lifestyles, whether they choose

it as a travel companion or a house necessity. It guarantees a constant supply of clean,

secure hydration because it can maintain the temperature of both hot and cold water. The

idea of Kawayan Quench is the importance of everyone having access to clean water.
 10

Through this product innovation, it can help to transform how we hydrate while

protecting the environment and our health.

Demand

Using information from the 2020 Ozamiz City population census, Bamboost

Essentials calculates the size of its sample of the market to assess the potential market's

characteristics and size. As a result, Ozamiz City's population was estimated to be

140,334 at the time of the 2020 census. The beginning point for figuring out the possible

customer base for the Bamboost Essentials company is this entire population. The

project planners in this instance chose the sample size using the Raosoft Calculator. They

sought a 95% confidence level, which means that if they conducted the study more than

once, they could anticipate the outcomes to fall within a specific range 95% of the time.

The 5% margin of error represents the maximum allowable difference between the

sample results and the true population value. There were 384 people in the estimated

sample size which asserted that this number finds a balance between accumulating

sufficient information to draw useful conclusions and limiting the resources needed for

information gathering and processing. The project planners wanted to capture the

diversity of potential consumers' interests and opinions regarding the Kawayan Quench

product by surveying this sample of 384 people from the population of Ozamiz City (see

Table 1).

Demographic Profile of the Respondents

Table 2 shows the demographic profile of respondents; the 384 respondents that

made up the sample's demographic profile offer important information about the traits of

the Kawayan Quench company's potential market. The profile contains elements like sex

and age, providing insight into the demographics and preferences of those who were

polled. According to the survey, there is a clear gender difference among the respondents.

In the entire sample, 295 people identified as female (76.20%), while 89 people identified

as male (23.20%). This gender gap in favor of women shows that women make up the

majority of responders who are interested in the Kawayan Quench product. This finding

would suggest that women in Ozamiz City are especially drawn to Kawayan Quench's

eco-friendly and health-conscious qualities.

Meanwhile, another crucial component of the demographic profile is the

respondents' age distribution. With 245 respondents, or 63.80% of the sample, in this age

range, the bulk of respondents are between the ages of 18 and 22. The next significant

group, with 33.07% (127 people), is made up of people between the ages of 23 and 27.

Older age groups have smaller percentages of responders, with 28–32 years old

comprising 2.34% (9 people) and 33–34 years old representing 0.78% (3 people). The

overwhelming number of responders among 18–22 age range asserted that Kawayan

Quench is very popular with the younger generation. This could be linked to younger

generations' propensity to accept trendy and cutting-edge products as well as their

common environmental consciousness. A remarkable 96.87% of all responders were in

the 18–27 age bracket, showing that young individuals make up the majority of Kawayan

Quench's potential client base.

 14

A comprehensive picture of the target market for the Kawayan Quench company

in Ozamiz City is given by the demographic profile findings. Given that the majority of

potential customers are women between the ages of 18 and 27, it is likely that the

product's innovative, environmentally friendly, and health-conscious qualities will appeal

to people in this age group. These findings are helpful for product positioning and

marketing tactics. For instance, the company may focus its marketing initiatives on

highlighting Kawayan Quench's attraction to younger consumers while simultaneously

promoting the product's health advantages and environmental sustainability. The

possibility for successful market penetration is increased by the company's ability to

create focused campaigns, design elements, and content that appeal to the identified

customer preferences to the awareness of the demographic make-up.

Frequency of Respondents Owning a Flask and Frequency of Utilization

The data provided in Table 3 sheds light on how many respondents owned flasks

and how frequently they were used. These results help the project planners understand the

current habits of potential customers, which is essential for developing marketing plans

and product offerings that are in line with consumer behavior. The data indicates that 270

respondents, or 70.30%, own flasks, compared to 114 respondents, or 29.70%, who do

 15

not. This result implies that the assessed community in Ozamiz City already has a large

demand for flasks. Due to Kawayan Quench's eco-conscious design elements, the need of

using reusable and environmentally friendly containers is becoming more widely

recognized, which may account for its high ownership rate.

The use of flasks varies depending on who owns them: The data asserts a 16.40%

(63 people) of flask owners use their containers 1-2 times each week.; while 3–4 times

per week: about three to four times per week, 25.50% (98 people) of flask owners utilize

their containers.

Relatively, there were 58.10% (223 people) of flask owners, or a large share, utilize their

containers five to seven times per week.

The stipulated results assert that having a flask is a popular practice among the

respondents, and a sizable percentage of them actively utilize their flasks on a regular

basis. This suggests that there is a constant need for a portable and environmentally

sustainable container that goes beyond simply owning one.

The high percentage of flask ownership among the respondents points to a market

that is open to green goods like Kawayan Quench. The frequent use of flasks shows that

consumers are looking for portable and practical beverage carrying solutions, which

creates an ideal setting for the launch of a product like Kawayan Quench. The ease,

portability, and eco-friendliness of Kawayan Quench should be emphasized in marketing

initiatives to create more appeal to the established flask usage patterns.

Types of Water Consumed

Table 4 shows the types of water that the respondents usually drank which sheds

vital knowledge on their preferences and drinking routines. It is essential to comprehend

the sources and options for drinking water to properly market the health and cleansing

benefits of Kawayan Quench. For tap water, there were 231 respondents, or 44%, said

that they drink tap water. This finding indicates that a sizable proportion of the

population uses tap water as their main source of hydration. In this vein, it is crucial to

remember that tap water could not always be devoid of impurities, which might increase

demand for products with detoxifying capabilities like Kawayan Quench.

Meawnhile, there were 146 people, or 27.80%, drink spring water. This mainly

asserts that many people consider spring water to be a more healthy and natural option

than tap water. The proportion of people who drink spring water shows a desire for pure,

healthy sources of hydration, which is consistent with the benefits the product offers in

terms of health. Relatively, for distilled water, there were 117 people, or 22.30%, prefer

mineral water. Due to the natural minerals it contains, mineral water is frequently

connected with health advantages. A market segment that values the health advantages

and purity of the water they consume is indicated by their preference for mineral water.
 17

However, there were 25 people, or 4.80%, choose distilled water because contaminants

are removed during the distillation process, distilled water is regarded as being pure.

Drinking distilled water indicates a desire for the purest type of water, which may

coincide with the target market’s interest in detoxifying and health-conscious lifestyle

choices.

Comparatively, there were 5 people, or 1%, of the respondents who drink alkaline

water. Alkaline water is well known for its possible health advantages, including

controlling the pH levels of the body. The existence of people drinking alkaline water

indicates a market group interested in water that provides extra health benefits beyond

simple hydration. While there were 0.20% (1 person) said they used a water pump to get

their water. A tiny subgroup of people who have access to untreated or only lightly

treated water sources may be represented by this response.

In this vein, the findings asserted that across all of the different water sources

used, there is a clear desire for water that is safe, clean, and detoxified. Those who love

spring, mineral, and distilled water will appreciate Kawayan Quench's focus on health

and cleansing benefits. Thus, to appeal to a wide range of customer tastes, marketing

campaigns might highlight Kawayan Quench's capacity to purify and improve the quality

of various sorts of water sources. By incorporating these insights into marketing

messages, Kawayan Quench may be positioned as a product that guarantees secure, pure,

and environmentally responsible hydration regardless of the water source, appealing to

people looking for health advantages and clean water consumption.

Projected Demand of the Industry

Table 9 shows the projected demand of the industry synergizing with the expected

customers or target market. A strategic growth is delineated, with both the target

population and annual demand escalating by 2% annually. The inaugural year's projected

customer base stands at 129,185 individuals, calculated by multiplying the city's target

are willing to purchase (96.90%) from Table 8 is taken into account. This percentage is

then multiplied by the projected target market (129,185) and the highest frequency of

purchase (2 times). This calculation offers an informed approximation of the product's

anticipated annual demand for each year.

the target market and subsequent annual demand experience a steady and calculated

ascent. This data-driven projection holds the promise of steering Kawayan Quench

will aid in identifying potential supply and demand gap and serves as a decision-making

tool for production scheduling and inventory control. This further shows that the demand

for the 350ml flask will increase steadily each year, reaching 19,577 units in 2028. The

supply is constant despite the rising demand, which causes the gap between supply and

demand to expand over time. However, for 500ml Flask the 125, 051 units in 2024 to

135,359 units in 2028 will continuously increase making the 500ml flask in high demand.

flask size point to possible distribution or production capacity enhancements. To avoid

customer dissatisfaction and potential revenue loss, business planning should take the
 29

growing demand into account when raising supply. Proactive measures like improving

distribution routes, increasing manufacturing capacity, or modifying inventory levels are

necessary to close the demand and supply gaps.

Marketing Programs

Planning is vital in the market, particularly when the business has competitors. A

thorough marketing strategy helps the company to reach the target customers and promote

the product. Customers become aware of the business's existence through different means

of advertising. Customers might be drawn to the brand and are interested in purchasing.

Tested ways of effective promotion are direct selling, advertising, and public relations.

Additionally, Bamboost Essentials will be using these tactics to promote and meet the

satisfaction of our customers' needs.

1. The Product Strategy

Bamboost Essentials establishes products mainly made from bamboo; its primary

product, Kawayan Quench, is an eco-friendly and health-friendly flask with a UV-C LED

that purifies water. The product entails a new water container or flask for the target

market. It addresses the rampant consumption of unpurified water, in the sense that most

flasks that do not have a water purifier are less likely to give a person health advantages

for its absence of safety and cleanliness. By that, Kawayan Quench will adhere to its

benefits once used and obtained.

Furthermore, Bamboost Essentials will expand its product offerings to the public

as the business develop and evolve. It will cater to home and personal essentials that

enhance individuals' daily lives, especially fostering an environmental approach. Future

products will be the following:

 42

1. "Kawayan Eats" - a set of fine utensils consisting of spoons and forks.

2. "Kawayan Chug" - a selection of cups and mugs ideal for sipping

beverages in style.

3. "Kawayan Contain" - exquisitely constructed spice and food containers.

4. "Kawayan Cuts" - high-quality blades for culinary connoisseurs.

5. "Kawayan Sip" - a variety of reusable bamboo straws for people wishing to

include sustainability into their drinking habits.

6. "Kawayan Serve" - a collection of food containers and bowls to suit the

demands of eco-conscious food storage, providing a sustainable alternative

to single-use plastic.

The expansion of Bamboost Essentials into these different product categories

illustrates their commitment to providing environmentally friendly solutions without

sacrificing aesthetics or performance.

2. The Price Strategy

With an environmentally friendly and durable product, the project planners

opted to sell Kawayan Quench at a reasonable price to the public. The proposed

business ensures that everyone would have a chance to own one because it is

affordable with many health advantages. Kawayan Quench's variations of designs

and sizes will justify the prices. Ideally, the proposed business will implement the

following pricing strategies:

 Cost-Based Strategy

This price strategy is a matter of acknowledgment of the cost given to the

production of the product. The cost-based strategy helps the project planners
 43

determine their selling prices. This matter considers adding a fixed profit figure or

a markup cost toward the product's total cost. Kawayan Quench gives assurance

that even with the constant changes taking over matters, the prices of its offered

products will remain just and fair to its customers. Prices based on costs will

remain authentic to keep customers' fair existence, and price wars against

competitors will be prevented.

 Value-Based Pricing

Bamboost Essentials will incorporate value-based pricing as a marketing

approach to charge customers for products and services at a price they believe they

are willing to pay. Bamboost Essentials can use value-based pricing to market

their eco-friendly bamboo items since it demonstrates their dedication to providing

environmentally friendly options without sacrificing aesthetics and utility.

Furthermore, Bamboost Essentials can set their prices at the most significant

amount their clients are prepared to pay. Nevertheless, customers are happy with

what they are paying, given that they believe the price is satisfactory for what they

get.

3. The Place Strategy

The chosen location of Bamboost Essential must be concentrated with a

significant number of people to be immediately visible to the public. The business must

be noticeable in the eyes of the target market. With such consideration, the project

planners chose a location that centralizes the city proper: Gaisano Capital, Ozamiz City.

This location, where many people are passing by across the hallway, is the right location

to generate where the product will potentially get high demand.

 44

In addition, Bamboost Essentials will use online platforms as a distribution

channel to reach a larger audience and maximize sales. Online selling has multiple

benefits, notably lower costs and the option to customize the buying experience

based on past sales and preferences. By offering online products, Bamboost

Essentials may broaden its reach and give sustainable bamboo items to a broader

market.

4. The Promotion Strategy

Promoting Kawayan Quench is a must-have aspect for the business to foster and

thrive. The proposed business must have its own identity and persona in the eyes of the

public. The project planners thoroughly comprehended that without promotion, the target

market would likely have 0% of an idea that the business exists.

With the advent of modern technology, project planners will also display the items

online so they will be able to reach more customers. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,

TikTok, and any possible social media platforms will be used to introduce Kawayan

Quench from a broader perspective.

Kawayan Quench's printed flyers and posters will be given into consideration. It

will be paramount to inform individuals without the internet that Kawayan Quench is in

the market.

Furthermore, discounts will be given to the public to keep the target market's

willingness. Discount sales during important seasons like Christmas, New Year, and even

Valentine's Day could be implemented for its adherence to celebration gifts for the said

events. The proposed business could build traction in the target market through this

promotion strategy.

Production and Operational Plan

Product Description

Kawayan Quench by Bamboost Essentials is an eco-friendly bamboo tumbler that

comes in four sizes: 350 ml (diameter: 7 cm), 500 ml (diameter: 7.5 cm), 750 ml

(diameter: 8 cm), and 1,000 ml (diameter: 8.5 cm). The tumbler's exterior is 100%

organic bamboo, giving it an elegant appearance that appeals to environmentally

conscious consumers. Bamboo is a long-lasting and robust material, making it a good

alternative for individuals looking to lessen their environmental impact. Additionally, its

interior matter is made from stainless steel, which keeps its water hot or cold, according

to their preferences. It also has a cover with a UV-C LED to help sterilize the tumbler and

keep it clean and sanitary. The UV-C LED kills bacteria and viruses safely and

effectively, making it crucial for those wishing to stay healthy.

Business Process

Acquiring Raw Materials

 The first stage for Kawayan Quench is the acquisition of raw materials. Since

the business promotes safe and clean water consumption, raw materials were

chosen to be durable, eco-friendly, and free from toxins that could harm an

individual's health. Profitability would be a significant factor to be considered

during the acquisition. Project planners see that profit margins are constant and

gradual in the presence of changes in seasons, location, and demand in the

market.
 47

 Bamboos that mature will be purchased from Grace's Sticks and Lumber at

Calabayan, Ozamiz City. Bamboo poles have many benefits, such as strength

and durability, eco-friendly existence, lightweight, and aesthetic appearance.

The strength and durability of bamboo enable Kawayan Quench to be reliable

for long-term utilization. Additionally, its eco-friendly existence with rapid

growth assures Kawayan Quench has enough supply of bamboo throughout

the progressing years. Not only that, but bamboos are also lightweight. By this,

Kawayan Quench is easy to handle for all ages. Lastly, bamboos give off an

essential appeal on the market for its aesthetic appearance.

 Kawayan Quench will use stainless steel bottles already available in bottle

form to reduce the manufacturing process and workforce. Using stainless steel

bottles has various benefits for the proposed business. First, stainless steel is a

highly durable material resistant to rust, corrosion, and impact or drop damage.

Second, stainless steel bottles are hygienic due to their non-porous nature,

making them easy to clean and keeping bacteria and odor away. Furthermore,

stainless steel is completely recyclable, making it an environmentally

beneficial choice (Northrop, 2022). It is important for businesses looking to

reduce environmental issues and appeal to environmentally conscious

customers.

 UV-C LED will be the product's distinguishing feature, which can be

purchased on Alibaba. The LED light gives individuals access to safe and

clean drinking water through sterilization and disinfection. Consuming

contaminated or unpurified water can cause diarrhea, cholera, typhoid, and

 48

hepatitis A. Individuals can lower their risk of developing these diseases and

enhance their general health by cleaning their water (Nicolau et al., 2022).

 Additionally, with Kawayan Quench, individuals no longer have to rely on

bottled or boiling water to make it safe for consumption. They can turn on the

tap, access safe and clean water, and dispose of plastic water bottles. By using

a water purifier, individuals can reduce their reliance on bottled water and the

rampant usage of plastic bottles that harm the environment.

Manufacturing Process

Step 1: Selecting.

The selection of mature bamboo comes first from Grace's Sticks and

Lumber. Two sizes will be allocated to the purchase: 4 diameters and six

diameters, both 10 feet long.

Step 2: Cutting.

Using the cut-off saw, equal cutting of bamboo comes next. The size per

cutting is 20 inches long.

Step 3: Treating.

After cutting, treating the bamboo is very important. Water leaching must

be done to remove unwanted starch from the bamboo to keep it insect-free

and durable. According to Kaur et al. (2016), water leaching is a traditional

way for villagers to preserve and prepare bamboo for crafting. With the

treatment, bamboo's starch lessens up and becomes fungal resistant. Water

leaching usually takes 3-4 weeks, with a constant water change every

week.
 49

Step 4: Drying.

After treating the bamboo, it must be dried up for about 3-5 days.

Step 5: Marking.

Make markings on bamboo-cut poles by drawing the stainless-steel bottle

circumference on the bamboo.

Step 6: Adjusting.

Adjust the circumference of the bamboo to the marked circumference of

the stainless-steel bottle using a hammer and chisel.

Step 7: Polishing

Polish the bamboo inside using an electric drill with a sanding drum.

Step 8: Sticking.

Apply Epoxy adhesive to the inner portion of the bamboo.

Step 9: Inserting.

Insert the stainless-steel bottle into the bamboo.

Step 10: Sanding.

Using the lathe, sanding the bamboo polishes the outer body of the flask.

Step 11: Additional Polishing

For retouches and residue removal, polishing the flask with sandpaper

comes next.

Step 12: Attaching

Attach the UV-C LED by holing-insertion method with the help of

adhesive glue.
 50

Step 13: Water proofing.

Coat the product with Total Wood Protectant to make it shiny and water-

resistant.

Step 14: Testing.

Testing of the product for leakage and waterproofness comes next. It is

important to investigate the products carefully.

Step 15: Customizing.

If the product is to be customized, the laser engraving machine marks the

customer's preferred design to the bamboo flask.

Step 16: Packaging.

After all the procedures and product packaging will wrap the entire

manufacturing process.

Waste Disposal

Bamboost Essentials' Kawayan Quench produces many bamboo wastes upon

making the products. Bamboo cuts and strips will be used for charcoal making, giving the

environment more benefits and advantages. Bamboost Essentials will connect to charcoal

makers to make bamboo charcoals. Bamboo charcoals are reliable sources for heat

making.

Charcoals pertain to different purposes. These purposes include domestic uses,

agricultural uses, and industrial uses. In this vein, bamboo charcoal will be an alternative

to wood charcoal. By this, the number of tree cuttings to have wood felled for charcoals

will lessen. It has an excellent fuel characteristic which makes it suitable for charcoal

purposes. Bamboo charcoals obtain the needed hotness, ease of spark, and long burning

time for various home uses. There is a constant increase in forest destruction to have

charcoals. However, with bamboo wastes turning into bamboo charcoals, this problem

will be addressed and solved (Twum et al., 2019).

Rate

Table 5 shows that the business's gross profit rate will be 55% in 2024. Moreover,

throughout 2025-2028, the business will maintain a consistent 50% gross profit rate. The

consistent gross profit rate of 50% over the years 2024 to 2028 implies that the company

has been able to maintain a relatively stable level of profitability relative to its net sales,

which could suggest effective cost management and pricing strategies during this period.

The declining trend in the gross profit margin from 11% in 2024 to 7% in 2028 suggests that the

company's ability to generate profit from its core operations relative to its sales has weakened, possibly

indicating increased production costs or pricing pressures that could impact overall profitability.

In 2024, the company's net profit margin will be 8%. Subsequently, from 2025 to 2028, the corporation will

maintain a consistent 5% gross profit margin. It signifies that the company is profitable after deducting all sales and

expenses. Furthermore, it shows that Kawayan Quench controlled the business operations after realizing the income over

expenses.

Net Income ₱ 117,468.71

ROI 32.36
The payback period of 1.25 years suggests that it takes approximately 1.25 years for the initial investment of ₱363,000.00 to be

recovered from the 1st year ending cash flow of ₱291,147.64, which indicates a relatively quick return on the investment. Meanwhile,
 94

the return on investment (ROI) of 32.36% reflects that the net income of ₱117,468.71 generated is

equivalent to 32.36% of the initial investment of ₱363,000.00, indicating a favorable return relative to

the investment made. This ROI figure could be considered a positive indication of the investment's

profitability, but it's important to compare it with industry benchmarks and the company's cost of capital

for a comprehensive evaluation.

Organization and Management Plan

The management framework of Bamboost Essentials specifies clear roles and responsibilities

among its line of command. The company's owners hold the authority to make decisions and shape the

overall strategy, overseeing the company's operations and growth. The office staff plays a pivotal role by

facilitating seamless coordination between departments, fostering effective communication, and aiding in

the implementation of company plans. Meanwhile, laborers constitute a crucial part of the workforce,

directly contributing to the production and distribution of goods and services. Their tasks can range from

bamboo product manufacturing to equipment maintenance, packing, and transportation.

Bamboost Essentials underscores its commitment to its employees by providing them with two

days off each month, acknowledging the significance of work-life balance for productivity and well-

being. These allocated days offer individuals a chance to recharge, attend to personal matters, and step

away from work. As full-time employees at Bamboost Essentials, the workforce dedicate their time and

energy to fulfilling their responsibilities effectively. This dedication to productivity ensures the seamless

functioning of the business, while also ensuring that customers receive exceptional products and services.

In general Bamboost Essentials' comprehensive management structure, well-defined

responsibilities, emphasis on staff well-being, and pursuit of efficiency collectively contribute to a

positive work environment. By upholding these principles, the company aims to ensure its long-term

success while fostering employee retention, satisfaction, and overall growth.

A. Form of Business Organization

Bamboost Essentials is organized in general partnership structure to manage and organize the

company, a decision driven by the need to streamline the process of securing initial funding for the

company's launch. The decision was prompted by unanimous agreement among the four partners to pool

their financial resources, assets, and existing business ventures into a shared cash pool. The underlying

objective of this collaborative endeavor is to equitably distribute earnings among the partners in

accordance with the established guidelines.

 96

For the business venture to establish clarity and a strong foundation for their partnership, each

partner is required to agree upon on the business partnership agreement. This legally binding document

outlines a comprehensive framework detailing the responsibilities and organizational roles of each

partner. It also outlines the protocol for making crucial decisions and lays down the principles governing

effective governance and collaboration among the parties involved. Moreover, the agreement stipulates

the timeline for handling and distributing the partnership's earnings and obligations among its members,

fostering a culture of fairness and transparency within the company's operations.

 Social Impact

A. Social Issues
 Water Sanitation

As stated by the National Water Resources Board (NWRB), around 11

million Filipino families still have trouble accessing safe drinking water in the

Philippines. Even though the Philippine economy is rapidly increasing, there are

still substantial impediments to accessing safe drinking water and sanitation.

Furthermore, according to a recent Philippine Statistics Authority research,

waterborne diseases such as typhoid and paratyphoid fever, bloody diarrhea,

cholera, viral hepatitis, and leptospirosis killed 53,066 Filipinos between 2010 and

2019 (Flores, 2023). In such cases, communities are finding it challenging to

provide the basic sanitary demands of new residents in a country where

urbanization is rapidly rising.

The goal of creating Kawayan Quench is to provide people with a friend to

protect them from diseases that can be contracted from the water they drink, such

as cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid, and polio. Because it features

a detoxifier and encourages people to drink more water, this product will assist in

alleviating concerns about where they can acquire safe drinking water at any time

and from any location.

 109

 Environment Degradation

Plastics have long been an alarming contributor to global pollution. The

Philippines is third in the world for a breakdown from plastic, with a minimum of

2.7 million kilograms of plastic garbage generated annually. 20% of this plastic

garbage is anticipated to escape into aquatic ecosystems (Schachter & Karasik,

2022).

As a result, this issue must be addressed. Bamboost Essentials' Kawayan

Quench is a recyclable tumbler that aims to reduce the utilization of disposable

water bottles. Its bamboo structure helps advance the cause of saving the earth

from the country's severe plastic pollution. Bamboost Essentials is committed to

environmental conservation and preservation with its sustainable and eco-friendly

design and benefits, particularly because its fundamental material, bamboo, does

not require chemical substances to grow.

 Climate change

Changing weather patterns are creating catastrophic weather events,

unpredictable water availability, growing shortages of water, and water

contamination. Such effects can majorly impact the quantity and quality of water

individuals require to survive. When disasters occur, the danger of diseases like

cholera and typhoid, to which children are especially vulnerable, increases because

they can damage or pollute entire water systems. As temperatures rise, freshwater

supplies may get contaminated with dangerous viruses, making them unsuitable

for humans to drink (UNICEF, 2022).

 110

In line with the issue, Kawayan Quench has to detoxify and sterilize

substances; UV-C Light Emitting Diodes have been tested to clean and safeguard

water consumption and containers successfully.

B. Business Purpose

The business aims to provide products manufactured from bamboo, a durable and

sustainable material. Bamboo is a natural building material found in tropical to mild

temperate locations, as Manandhar et al. (2019) stated. It has been utilized for its innate

strength and flexibility since ancient times. Bamboo has many environmental benefits,

making it a popular ecologically friendly manufacturing material.

Furthermore, the business is not only for profit but also contributes to the benefits

of using Kawayan Quench. The firm establishes a strong hold on environmental issues

and individual health concerns. Not only have that, but Kawayan Quench products allow

individuals to sip safe and cleansed water with UV-C lighted at affordable prices.

 Durability

Bamboo grows relatively quickly and sustainably compared to other

materials used to make tumblers or flasks. Bamboo's durability and rapid growth

contribute to its popularity as a popular and ecological building material.

 No chemical needed

Bamboo is a naturally abundant plant that, even cultivating it, does not

necessitate chemicals or fertilizers. Pesticides are not required to keep bad bugs

away from a bamboo stand. It ensures that no chemicals will enter the soil or

groundwater due to bamboo farming.

 111

C. Business Contributions

 As to Employees

Employees are important to the Bamboost Essentials business because they

ensure everything runs well. The company needs these personnel to function and

distribute the product to the market. It would also benefit the employees, as they

will be able to receive justifiable compensation for their efforts in marketing and

promoting our goods.

 As to the community

This company will greatly assist the community by sharing a few ideas

about the incredible benefits of utilizing the product and how it mixes nature into

it using bamboo as one of the primary components. These ideas and information

will soon be shown in many barangays to extensively spread the value of earth-

friendly products, especially as climate change approaches.

 As to the government

Bamboost Essentials is fully aware of its duties and responsibilities in all

government-related concerns, such as paying taxes and obtaining business permits

and licenses from the local government unit where it is located. It also rigorously

conforms to local government norms and regulations, ensuring the firm meets all

needs. This company will also contribute to the local economy.
