BUSINESS IDEA FOR MAKING PLASTIC BRICKS

 Introduction

The concept is to manufacture and sell plastic bricks.

This business plan is based on the assumption that 13,000 plastic bricks will be produced each month, yielding 156,000 plastic bricks annually.

year. The potential revenue is predicted to be US$ 6,500 per month, or US$ 78,000 per year. The project will cost $7,374 USD.

Production Process 

The process involves filling and compacting soil in mineral water bottles. After compacting, the bottles are then sealed with bottle caps

Making plastic bricks is still a new concept on the market, but if used, the bricks are thought to survive for 100 years. They are appropriate for construction in wetlands. The concept will assist the Central government and local governments in reducing plastic trash generation and environmental protection.

Production was based on a daily capacity of 500 plastic bricks during a 312 day year.

Depreciation (write-off of fixed assets) is based on a 4 year asset life and a 25% annual write-off rate.

Materials, supplies, and other expenses directly related to the manufacture of the good are considered direct costs.
