Les techniques de récupération et valorisation des emballages et leurs incidences économiques dans la région de Sétif

Abstract

Faced with the increase in packaging waste linked to consumption habits, this project proposes to repurpose it ecologically by transforming it into decorative objects and planters, while also evaluating its economic and social effectiveness. The methodology involved manufacturing these products based on ideas found on social media, then rigorously calculating their production costs and selling prices to determine profit margins. The results show that the decorative products are very successful, with models like D5, D6, and D1 demonstrating high added value and good market acceptance. Others (D2, D4, D7, D8) have average performance. However, product D3 is unprofitable and must be excluded. Regarding the planters, P4 and P9 prove to be the most profitable thanks to good margins, while P2 and P8 are unprofitable and useless. The remaining products (P1, P3, P5, P6, P7) have low margins, requiring cost reduction or price adjustments. Overall, the value-added project is profitable, with a significant total margin and an average margin rate of 31%. Decorative products are the main driver, generating 74% of the margins. Three loss-making products need to be revalued. The Algerian environment is favorable thanks to a reduced VAT rate of 9%, attractive financing options, and a growing craft market. With optimized pricing and a sound business strategy, this project has strong potential for revenue generation and sustainable development
