Abstract

Art paper made of betel nut husk fibre and paper waste is one example of an innovative product. Therefore, an analysis of the technical and financial feasibility of this innovation needed to be conducted. This research aimed to determine the technical and financial feasibility of the production business of art paper from betel nut husk fibre and paper waste. The technical aspect will focus on the technology utilized, primary raw material and additional raw material, production capacity, and any workforce involved in the business. Meanwhile, the financial aspect will emphasize the calculation of the Main Production Cost (MPC), Break Even Point (BEP), Business Efficiency (R/C Ratio), Payback Period (PP), Net Present Value (NPV), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The calculation result of the feasibility analysis shows that Production Cost (HPP) is IDR 12,786.00, BEPunit is 9,271 paper sheet, BEP (IDR) is IDR 148,326,906.00, R/C Ratio is 1.56, PP will be for 2.2 years, NPV is IDR 2,078,713,958.00, and IRR is 68.36%. Based on this result, this business on betel nut husk fibre and paper-based waste art paper is considered worth running.

Abstract

An analysis of consumer preferences to find out the characteristics of handicraft paper from betel nut fiber desired is necessary for this innovation. This study aimed to determine the attributes of handicraft paper that are most necessary for consumers. This study was conducted by using Conjoint method. Fifty respondents completed structured questionnaires in some cities in Indonesia. The attribute mix used in this study was physical and organoleptic. The physical attribute mix was tensile strength, grammage, thickness, and stiffness while the organoleptic was color, fiber appearance, and surface texture. There were 16 combinations of stimuli formed with simplification using orthogonal arrays. The result shows consumers like tensile strength of 20-<30 kN/m2, grammage of ≥500 g/m2, thickness of 1,6-3 mm, stiffness of ≥15 mN.m, dark brown color, the appearance of fiber was visible, and had rough surface texture. The results of the correlation analysis showed that there was a strong correlation between the results of preference stimuli and actual responses. The handicraft paper produced had the same characteristics as the consumer preference, except the tensile strength with thevalue ranged from 10-<20 kN/m2. The results also showed that fiber appearance had the highest relative importance value to be prioritized.
