CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This study will focus on rice and tapioca as main source/materials in making edible straws as replacement to
plastic straws which are commonly used by Restaurants and Coffee Shops in Lipa City. Once edible straw is
developed, it can replace the plastic straw and the value of the usual straw will increase.
Such a feature is particularly problematic given the fact that plastic straws are utilized only for short
duration and are ill-suited for reuse. New alternatives to plastic straws are being considered due to consumer
demands for sustainability and recent changes in government policies and regulations, such as bans on single-use
plastic products. Edible straws are diversified straws with flexible, lightweight, translucent, easily shaped, impact
resistant, safe to eat characteristics.
BRIEF BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
Among the trash that harms marine life are straws. Almost 800 different animal
species are negatively impacted by plastics. The government's efforts to ban the use of
plastic straws in the marketplace reduce consumer convenience regarding their
beverages. The easiest way to address both issues is to create a product that is
structurally identical to a drinking tube but radically different from one because the
innovative product is made of rice and it is edible.
Nature's unbending law is: "Adapt or perish" (H. G. Wells, 2001). The researchers' idea
to create edible rice straws that can withstand use of plastic straws was inspired by this.
People can make the changes necessary to maintain humanity's survival while also
benefiting the environment .
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
• To determine whether rice-based edible straws are marketable in Lipa City, Batangas;
• To determine the technological viability of creating edible rice straws while considering the most
appropriate equipment, direct labor, production capacity, and ideal site for the proposed study;
• To create management entity rules and regulations and choose the best company organizational
structure based on the regulations that must be followed for the business to run;
• To determine how manufacturing edible straws can advance the local economy and community; and
• To establish a brand as the first producer of edible rice straws in Lipa City, Batangas.
SCOPE & LIMI-
TATIONS OF THE
STUDY
Feasibility studies include ;
• Market aspect
• Technical aspect
• Administrative aspect
• Financial and socio-economic aspects of the
project.
It comes in two sizes: the conventional straw, which is 8.5" long and
0.36" wide and used for drinks like juices and fruit shakes, and the boba
straw, which is 8.5" long and 0.48" wide and used for drinks like milk or
bubble teas.
We will have three different packs and those three packs will be
divided into 300, 600 and 1000 pieces.
