Biodegradable food packaging - an antrepreneurial initiative for sustainable environment

U uvjetima kada je okoliš više nego ikada ugrožen antropogenim djelovanjem koje se, između ostalog, manifestira i velikim količinama otpada, ekološki prihvatljivo pakiranje robe postoje imperativ. Naslov “Biorazgradiva ambalaža za hranu – poduzetnička inicijativa za održivi okoliš ” jasno ukazuje na činjenicu kako mjesta za inovativnost u poljoprivredi svakako ima. Okosnica rada je plan iskorištavanja biorazgradivog otpada iz prerade žitarica te proizvodnja i plasiranje na tržište biorazgradive ambalaže za jednokratnu upotrebu kojim se rješava značajan ekološki problem, a s druge strane stimulira poljoprivredna proizvodnja. Smanjenje plastičnoga otpada veliko je pitanje naše sadašnjosti i budućnosti, pitanje nas, naše djece i djece naše djece. Prikazan je potpuno razvijeni poslovni plan u kojem se jasno definira misija i vizija poslovanja, detaljan opis tehnološkog procesa te marketinški i financijski plan. Neizostavan je dio i SWOT analiza gdje su prikazane snage i slabosti poduzetničkog projekta. Prikazane su projekcije za prvih pet godina poslovanja uključujući i analizu osjetljivosti koje potvrđuju kako je projekt isplativ.In these times when the environment is more than ever before threatened by anthropogenic activity that, among other things, is manifested by large quantities of waste, environmental sustainability packaging has become imperative. The title "Biodegradable Food Packaging - An Entrepreneurial Initiative for a Sustainable Environment" clearly indicates that there is certainly room for innovation in agriculture. The core of the work is a plan for the utilization of biodegradable cereal processing waste and the production and marketing of disposable biodegradable packaging that addresses a significant environmental problem and, on the other hand, stimulates agricultural production. Reducing plastic waste is a big question of our present and future, of us, our children and children of our children. A fully developed business plan clearly defines the mission and vision of the business, a detailed description of the technological process and the marketing and financial plan. It is an indispensable part of SWOT analysis where the strengths and weaknesses of the entrepreneurial project are presented. Projections for the first five years of operations are included, including sensitivity analysis that confirms the project is profitable
