Abstract: En la actualidad, la crisis climática se hace cada vez más preocupante y esto es en gran parte responsabilidad de las grandes industrias y sus procesos productivos. En el Perú, las mujeres en edad fértil son aproximadamente 8 millones, lo cual representa el 50% de la población femenina. En promedio, cada mujer utiliza 300 toallas higiénicas al año, las cuales tienen un período de descomposición que dura entre 500 y 800 años. Estas cifras nos demuestran que la cantidad de desperdicios que se generan solo en un ámbito de nuestra sociedad es bastante grande. Además, diversos estudios a lo largo de la historia han evidenciado los peligros y consecuencias a largo plazo de utilizar las toallas higiénicas y tampones tradicionales, ya que para asegurar su efectividad y duración se utilizan una serie de productos químicos nocivos para la salud.
Dado este contexto, a través de la implementación de Gaia, buscamos profundizar y atender las necesidades de la creciente tendencia del mercado que está optando por alternativas saludables y amigables con el medio ambiente aptas para la higiene personal y el cuidado menstrual.
Se estima que para este proyecto se cuenta con un tamaño de mercado aproximado de 30, 367.24 mujeres en edades comprendidas entre 18 a 28 años lo que daría un tamaño de mercado en soles de S/15, 341,529.37 anuales. Finalmente, durante los tres primeros años del proyecto se obtiene un VAN de S/109,647 y un retorno de la inversión en aproximadamente 11 meses.
Currently, the climate crisis is becoming increasingly worrying and this is mainly the responsibility of large industries and their production processes. In Peru, women of childbearing age are approximately 8 million, which represents 50% of the female population. On average, each woman uses 300 sanitary napkins a year, which have a decomposition period that lasts between 500 and 800 years. These numbers show us that the amount of waste generated in just one aspect of our society is quite large. In addition, various studies throughout history have shown the dangers and long-term consequences of using traditional sanitary napkins and tampons, since a series of chemicals that are harmful to health are used to ensure their effectiveness and duration. Given this context, throught the implementation of Gaia, we seek to deepen and address the needs of the growing market trend that is opting for healthy and ecological alternatives for personal hygiene and menstrual care. It is estimated that for this project there is an approximate market size of 30, 367.24 women between the ages of 18 and 28, which would give a market size in soles of S/15, 341,529.37 per year. Finally, during the first three years of the project, a NPV of S/109,647 is obtained and a return on investment in approximately 11 months.
