The present study evaluates the pre-feasibility for the installation of a manufacturing plant producing biodegradable plastic containers based on polylactic acid (PLA), evaluating the technical, economic, financial, and social feasibility of the project. Through a market study, it was determined that our target market is composed of companies with food service activities in Peru that have an environment-friendly mindset. The unit selling price is 0,95 soles per container, sold in packages of 50 units. The demand for the project was calculated at 106 779 packages of 50 containers each, by the final year of the project. After evaluating and ranking pertinent factors, the chosen alternative for the location of the plant was Villa El Salvador, Lima, mainly given its proximity to the market and the port terminal on the coast. Regarding the plant’s size, it was determined at 5 338 901 containers per year, configured by the market-size relationship of the final year of the project. The installed capacity of the manufacturing plant was determined at 186 897,05 kg. of containers per year, determined by the drying stage of the whole manufacturing process, which is also the bottleneck of the production line. Up to 107 000 boxes per year are to be produced by 2 023, resulting in the plant utilization for this final year being 85,88%, for which working in two shifts for the first two years is required; and an additional shift for the remaining years. Regarding the economic and financial evaluation of the project, a total investment of S/ 4 013 536,39 is required, 80% of which will be financed through a bank at a rate of 15,39%. In addition, the project results in a NPV of S/ 1 228 771,83, and an IRR of 49,73%, while having an investment cost of opportunity of 20.93%.
