Feasibility study for production and business plastic roof tiles using a pneumatic hot press machine.

Plastic waste is one of the problems that requires more attention. Apart from the large amount, plastic waste is also very difficult to decompose. One solution to solve this problem is to utilize plastic waste to be recycled into useful products, one of which is roof tiles. This research aims to see whether making plastic roof tiles is feasible as a business. Determination of feasibility analysis is carried out based on three aspects, namely technical aspects, financial aspects and marketing aspects. Based on the results of the analysis of the technical aspects, the selling price of the roof tile is Rp.5,288, which means that the price of plastic roof tiles is relatively cheaper than the price of clay tiles at Rp.6,000 Based on the financial aspects, the results show a positive NPV, IRR of 58%, PP for 1 year, BEP unit of 695,510 units and BEP price of Rp.365,882,218, which means that financially, this roof tile making business is quite promising. In marketing, Indonesia has several areas that often experience earthquakes, this area is an area with great potential to utilize plastic roof tiles because plastic roof tiles are more resistant to earthquakes or other natural disasters than soil tiles. Based on the three feasibility analyses, it can be said that the plastic tile business has the opportunity to be realized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
