This project presents an innovation plan focused on transitioning Tayto chips' packaging from non-biodegradable plastic to biodegradable alternatives. The project begins with an overview of the ecological issues associated with plastic waste, including its harmful nature, non-biodegradability, and environmental pollution, and it then proposes incentives for switching to biodegradable plastics. The innovation idea involves replacing plastic packaging with eco-friendly bags, reducing plastic usage, and introducing a new machine and process for manufacturing. The project incorporates a framework for the internal and external processes, including material selection, customer requirement identification, and patent filing. A communication plan is outlined to inform stakeholders about the strategy, along with a product life cycle analysis, budget considerations, and risk management strategies. The project incorporates a SWOT and PESTEL analysis to evaluate the viability of the project. The project also identifies potential suppliers of biodegradable materials such as Mater-Bi and NatureWorks, and includes references to support its findings. The project emphasizes the benefits of biodegradable packaging, such as waste reduction, conservation of petroleum supplies, and the creation of new export industries. It also details the machine and process required for manufacturing, including maintenance and repair roadmaps.
