The problem to be solved is the increase of plastic bottles (PETs) as waste in the ecosystems of Peru and its negative impacts on the well-being and health of the population. The user affected by this problem is the general population of Arequipa, who faces a decrease in the quality of the environment and good living due to the accumulation of plastic bottles in the environment. The business model, oriented towards recycling plastic bottles (PETs) to manufacture logistics pallets, is sustainable for several reasons. In the desirability dimension, we perform two hypothesis tests. The first hypothesis was about the willingness of customers to pay for ECOPALLETS. Interviews and surveys were carried out and the results showed that more than 80% of the respondents expressed a willingness to pay for the product. Therefore, this hypothesis is accepted. The second hypothesis was about the acceptance of the price of ECOPALLETS. A survey was conducted and 75% of respondents accepted the price. Therefore, this hypothesis is also accepted. Regarding feasibility, two hypothesis tests were also carried out. The first hypothesis was about the performance of the advertising scheme. The VTV/CAC ratio was measured, looking for it to exceed 3.4. The results were promising, since this ratio was higher than 3.4 in 99% of the cases. Therefore, this hypothesis is accepted. The second hypothesis was about the simulation of logistics performance. We conducted a survey with our business partners and the results showed that they are aligned with the proposal. Therefore, this hypothesis is also accepted. Finally, in the feasibility dimension, we perform two hypothesis tests. The first hypothesis was about the NPV simulation, where we were looking for an acceptance of the result of the Monte Carlo simulation. The results showed that 78.82% of the cases were accepted. Therefore, this hypothesis is accepted. The second hypothesis was about the EBITDA/interest ratio. We were looking for a covenant greater than 7 and the results showed a covenant of 9.95, which exceeds our expectations. Therefore, this hypothesis is also accepted. It was desired to impact SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, by taking advantage of recycled plastic for the production of pallets, innovation in the industry is promoted and the incorporation of especially sustainable technologies and mechanisms in the supply and logistics chain is encouraged. SDG 12: Responsible Production and Consumption, with the manufacture of pallets from recycled plastic, it will promote responsible production and consumption practices, since recycled materials are used and the demand for natural resources and virgin materials is reduced. SDG 13: Climate Action, by recycling plastic to create pallets, the proportion of plastic waste that is sent to landfills or the environment is reduced, which helps limit the dispersion of greenhouse gases and address climate change. In total, of the 24 combined goals of these three SDGs, 18 of them have been impacted. This results in an Impact Requirements Satisfaction Rate (TSRI) of 75%. In summary, the financial analysis carried out for ECOPALLETS included the forecast of profits and margins in free cash flow for five years, and results are to be achieved. The results obtained include a WACC of 8.4%, a NPV of S/ 4,929,250 soles and an IRR of 173.18%. This indicates that the project's performance exceeds the WACC, which leads us to conclude that, having a positive NPV, the project is viable. A social cash flow of S/ 643,733.83 was calculated in the first year, reaching S/ 476,232.33 in the fifth year. With a discount rate of 8%, a social NPV of S/ 1,857,261.43 soles was estimated.
