Abstract

Indonesia is prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes and tropical cyclones because of Indonesia’s geographical location on the ring of fire, the equator and its long coastline. These two disasters often cause damage to roof tiles. Clay roof tiles, which are currently widely used, are proven to be vulnerable to shocks, making them even more dangerous when natural disasters occur. To mitigate the occurrence of these disasters, lightweight and environmentally friendly roof tiles were developed using raw materials derived from household plastic waste which have characteristics such as light construction, durability and weather resistance, making them very tough and economically profitable in terms of long service life. The use of roof tiles made from recycled plastic contributes to reducing plastic waste, is cheaper and stronger and more durable. The aim of this research is to analyze the feasibility of a plastic tile product business on a laboratory scale and a business scale. The financial aspect results obtained from each alternative on a laboratory scale are IDR. 5,293 and business scale Rp.5,288. The financial aspect of the business scale has positive NPV results, IRR of 58%, PP of 1 year, BEP of 695,510 units with price of IDR 365,882,218.
