9. PROBLEM SOLVING
1. Less Pollution
Since the raw material used for making this product is paper and cloth and there is no
wastage and is easy disposable as it is biodegradable , whereas in the production of
plastic bags which causes land pollution when it is thrown after use , air pollution
when it is produced infactory.
2. Re-use
One of the mainproblem of plastic bag is of Re-usability, which often people don‟t
prefer to do with plastic bags as it most of the times could not handle the weight of
grocery. Whereas PAC bag cloth bag willensure that it handles the weight of grocery.
3. Alternate medium of advertising
It‟s a alternate medium of advertising and cheap source to spread the word for both the
client as well for PAC Bag comparatively to other source of advertising.
MARKET COMPARISON
Competition
- Small scale players producing small paper bags, they are not established and not
organized.
- House wife‟s producing cloth bags.
- Plastic bag dealers.
Point of Parity – Similarity between the other plastic bags and PAC bags are its use, the core
purpose of bags is to carry the materials and is convenient while shopping.
Point of Difference – The differentiation of our product is its Eco-friendly and can be Re- used
and Re-cycled whereas in case of plastic being non biodegradable its dangerous for environment.
Other differentiation is that we provide a customized product with added feature of client
advertising, logo or symbol can be placed on the cloth bag.

10. INDUSTRY AND MARKETPLACE
ANALSYS
INDUSTRY ANALSYS
Due to legislation of ban on plastic bags in various city particularly Dhaka, a huge opportunity for a
substitute has cropped up. Such a substitute has to provide minimum features, which were provided
by plastic bags. For e.g. the substitute has to be strong enough to bear weight of grocery, durable
enough to be used multiple times, cheap enough to be given almost free of cost by retailers,
malls etc. A cloth and paper bag fit well as substitute of plastic bag as it carries weight, stays long
and cost a little.
Currently there is a huge Scope for cloth and paper bags in Dhaka, so much that supply
comes nowhere near to market demand.
One of reasons for this huge demand-supply gap is lack of any big player in manufacturing of cloth
bags. There are fundamental reasons due to which a large player cannot sustain in this business.
Cloth Bag manufacturing is meant onlyfor tinyfragmented micro-enterprises.
Grocery bags do not carry any brand. This lack of branding makes local tiny players eligible for
manufacturing. The Bangladeshi Paper Industry accounts for about 1.6% of the world‟s
production of paper (Bdt. 25,000-crore). Source: Business Line
In Bangladesh, paperboard accounts for nearly 47.3% of the total market size, followed by
writing and printing paper (29.6%), newsprint (19.5%) and specialty paper (3.6%) according to
Research.
MARKET PLACE ANALSYS
Following are the findings which we got after a Personal interaction and observation with the Retail
owners and their staff with regard to use of plastic bags. It covered supermarkets, mini
supermarkets, brand stores, provision stores, and Pharmacy‟s and takeaway retail outlets etc. I
surveyed 10 retailers indifferent stores.
The study showed that approximately more than 1000 customers cater to these outlets every month,
which provide bags for its customers who come for shopping, while a small minor its does not
offer the same because of the reasons like „no demand‟ or „less demand‟. Most of these outlets
provided plastic bags for its customers because of its easy availability and high demand.
pg. 5
11. When asked “Would you be willing to replace the plastic bags with eco-friendly and customized
paper bags?” almost all the outlets responded positively by saying „Yes‟. But, only 60% of the
total believed in providing their customers with reusable cloth bags at a price ranging from BDT.
5-10.
On an average the demands for reusable cloth and paper bag is quite good, and as far as the
customer‟s point of view is concerned, he will always look for something which is eco-friendly.
So with an increased use of cloth and paper bags (which can be reused) over a period of
time can play a vital role in the right benefit of the environment and cater to the needs of our
customers. We get an added advantage of customizing in designing and adding of the
company name which ads as a part of their advertisements.
CUSTOMER ANALSYS
We would offer our products to the commercialusers i.e. B2B
Retail outlets like Bata, Apex, and BFC etc.
Supermarkets and general stores.
Pharmacies.
COMETITOR ANALSYS
1. Existing small local suppliers of paper bags and cloth bagsartisans
2. Existing plastic bag manufacturers etc.
3. NGOs that do the manufacturing of paperbags.

with the required number of security personnel as well as the required amount workers
to help maintain basic cleanliness.
Also the training and development department will be outsourced as we require training
onlyduring the initial stage of set up.
Type of workers
We have a mixture of skilled, unskilled as well as professional employees that help make
our organisation a success.
The employees making the handbags are mostly skilled workers got from various self-
help groups.
The raddiwalas, packing incharge and the raw material collectors are mostly unskilled
labour who have the basic knowledge of reading and writing.
All the other workers are professionals that have the required skills and qualificat ions
that make them suitable for the job.

29. Recruitment process
Recruitment duties will be handled by the HR department who will keep track on any
available vacancies, promotions, and other needs.
The recruitment process willbe different at every level of management.
The general manager will be chosen by the panel of directors through referrals, head hunting,
database of consultancies mainly based on the expertise, understanding of the sector and
business as well as ability to handle the business in the most convenient manner. The HR
department willhave nothing to do with that whatsoever.
The managers will be chosen by the General Manager with help from the HRdepartment.
The various mediums that will be used for recruiting managers will be referrals,
newspaper advertisement, online job search engines (naukri.com, monster.com, etc…)
and recruitment consultancies sending in candidates that fitthe criteria ofselection.
At later stages the manager‟s post can be filled internally through promotions of the
junior employees.
The other employees other than the SHG employees will be hired solely by the HR
department through walk in interviews, newspaper advertisements, job search engines
(naukri.com, monster.com, etc…), and recruitment consultancies.
The managers of every department willscreen the employees and finally select.
The employees will be selected through interviews conducted by the HR executive who
will conduct the initial interview and filter out the suitable candidates who will later be
interviewed by the department manager and the HR manager before the final selection.
At the set up stage the HR department will be outsourced to hire the first batch of employees.
They will also be responsible for forming a permanent HR department for the company the
willhandle all the above duties later.

and aid customer satisfaction.
