1.0 Executive Summary

1.1 Business Overview

EcoSack Nigeria Limited is a proposed Lagos-based manufacturing company specializing in the production of durable, eco-friendly sack bags used for packaging agricultural produce, cement, animal feed, grains, and general-purpose storage. The business seeks to meet Nigeria’s rising demand for affordable and sustainable packaging solutions while reducing the country’s reliance on imported polypropylene (PP) and jute sacks.

The company will manufacture woven polypropylene (WPP) sacks and biodegradable variants, serving both industrial and retail markets. Located in Ogun–Lagos Industrial Corridor (likely in Ikorodu or Agbara), the factory will leverage modern extrusion, weaving, and lamination technology to ensure product quality, cost efficiency, and scalability.

1.2 Mission Statement
To provide high-quality, eco-friendly sack bags that meet diverse packaging needs while contributing to Nigeria’s sustainable industrial development.

1.3 Vision Statement
To become Nigeria’s leading manufacturer of sustainable sack bags within five years, recognized for innovation, reliability, and environmental responsibility.

1.4 Objectives

• To achieve annual production of 10 million sacks by the third year of operation.
• To capture at least 5% of the Lagos and Southwest Nigeria packaging market by 2027.
• To maintain a gross profit margin above 40% and achieve operational breakeven within 18 months.
• To promote environmental sustainability through the adoption of recyclable and biodegradable materials.

1.5 Products and Services
EcoSack Nigeria Limited will manufacture and distribute:

• Woven Polypropylene Sacks (25kg–100kg capacity) – for cement, grains, and fertilizer industries.
• Biodegradable Sacks – made from eco-plastic blends for environmentally conscious clients.
• Custom Printed Sacks – for branding and packaging by FMCGs, farmers, and traders.
• Bag Design and Printing Services – custom logo printing and lamination.

1.6 Market Opportunity
Nigeria’s packaging and agro-allied industries are growing rapidly, with annual sack bag demand estimated above 500 million units. Import substitution opportunities exist, as more than 60% of sacks used in Nigeria are imported from Asia. With Lagos as the commercial hub, EcoSack Nigeria Limited will target key markets in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, and the northern distribution centers via partnerships with agro dealers, FMCGs, and distributors.

1.7 Competitive Advantage

• Localized production and faster delivery times than imported alternatives.
• High product durability and customization options.
• Strategic factory location close to ports and major highways.
• Experienced management and technical team with expertise in plastics and industrial packaging.
• Strong brand positioning focused on eco-conscious and quality-driven production.

1.8 Business Model
Revenue will be generated through B2B supply contracts, wholesale distribution, and direct factory sales. EcoSack Nigeria Limited will implement a hybrid model — producing for bulk industrial clients while distributing through agents and wholesalers to small and medium enterprises.

1.9 Funding Requirements
The total startup capital required is estimated at ₦180 million, allocated as follows:

• Factory setup and equipment: ₦110 million
• Working capital: ₦30 million
• Licensing and regulatory fees: ₦5 million
• Marketing and distribution setup: ₦15 million
• Contingency and operational reserve: ₦20 million

The business seeks ₦120 million in equity investment and ₦60 million in debt financing.

1.10 Financial Highlights (Projection Summary)

1.11 Exit Strategy
The exit options for investors include management buyout, equity sale to larger packaging manufacturers, or expansion through mergers with FMCG packaging firms after five years.

1.12 Implementation Timeline

• Month 1–3: Facility acquisition, licensing, and equipment procurement.
• Month 4–6: Installation, recruitment, and pilot production.
• Month 7–12: Market entry and distribution network establishment.

3.1 Product Range

EcoSack Nigeria Limited will manufacture and supply the following product categories:

3.2 Production Process and Technology

EcoSack Nigeria Limited will deploy a semi-automated production line integrating extrusion, weaving, lamination, cutting, and stitching operations. The process flow is as follows:

1. Extrusion:
• Polypropylene (PP) granules are melted and extruded into flat tapes or fibers.
• These tapes form the structural base for woven sack fabrication.
2. Weaving:
• The extruded tapes are woven using circular looms to produce tubular fabric rolls.
• These rolls are tested for tensile strength and uniformity.
3. Lamination (Optional):
• A thin BOPP or PE film is laminated to improve moisture resistance and printability.
• Laminated sacks are preferred for fertilizer, rice, or branded products.
4. Printing:
• High-speed flexographic printing machines are used for multi-color logos, brand names, and product details.
5. Cutting and Stitching:
• Woven rolls are cut into desired lengths and stitched at the bottom with automatic sewing machines.
• Handles or liners (if required) are attached during this stage.
6. Quality Control:
• Every batch undergoes tensile, puncture, and load-bearing tests.
• Random sampling ensures compliance with ISO 21898 packaging standards.
7. Packaging and Dispatch:
• Finished sacks are bundled, labeled, and packed for dispatch to clients and distributors.

3.3 Equipment and Machinery

Total Machinery Investment: ≈ ₦102 million

3.4 Technology and Production Capacity

The factory will use Indian and Chinese-origin machinery, offering:

• Daily capacity: 30,000 standard 50kg sacks per 10-hour shift.
• Annual production: approx. 9–10 million sacks at full capacity.
• Automation level: 70% (semi-automated system with human supervision).
• Waste reduction: <5% via in-line recycling of offcuts and PP scrap.
