Elastipapa is a profitable and sustainable business model that seeks to introduce to the market an alternative to play dough made from 100% natural, biodegradable, non-toxic, gluten-free materials, and at a competitive price. Elastipapa uses one of the most abundant and underutilized raw materials in the Peruvian industry, which is the potato. It has a sustainable character since it provides an alternative source of income for potato farmers in the communities of Huancayo, with potential for expansion to more producing regions. This is done by processing the potato and making more efficient use of resources, utilizing harvest waste that is not used by the food market. Additionally, due to its more accessible price, Elastipapa will promote that more Peruvian children can develop their educational activities in a more fun and playful way. A social NPV of S/6,890,405 is estimated. In terms of health, being a play dough free of toxic substances, Elastipapa contributes to the prevention of diseases and the promotion of health, especially in children. The company also offers a gluten-free alternative for celiac children, addressing a specific need in society and promoting inclusion and access to opportunities for a group of people with special needs. Economically, the Elastipapa project is viable with a total investment of S/1'351,522, with 40% in own resources and 60% financed. The working capital is S/812,230, and the project's WACC is 17.15%. In a project life horizon of 5 years, the economic and financial VAN values are above four million soles, with economic and financial TIR of 89% and 150%, respectively, values above the project's WACC. Additionally, the investment recovery time occurs in the second year. In summary, the project is economically viable, with a profit margin of 18% at the beginning and 30% at the end of the fifth year.
