ABSTRACT
This study presents the development of BELFresh Innovations: PalmFresh UV Rack,
an innovative and sustainable shoe storage solution designed to address footwear
sanitation and environmental sustainability. The product is made from palm tree crown
shafts, an abundant agricultural by-product, and integrated with far UV-C light technology
to help reduce microbial contamination on footwear while promoting the efficient use of
eco-friendly materials. Purposive sampling was employed using structured survey
questionnaires distributed to selected households and commercial establishments in
Dumaguete City, with respondents chosen based on their willingness and capacity to
purchase household sanitation and furniture products. The sample size was determined
using Slovin's formula to represent both residential and commercial markets. Findings
revealed strong demand for hygienic and sustainable products, with most respondents
expressing interest in purchasing the Palm Fresh UV Rack provided it is reasonably priced
and meets quality expectations. Comprehensive market, technical, organizational, and
financial analyses confirmed the feasibility of producing and commercializing the
product, with favorable profitability and investment recovery indicators demonstrating
its potential as a sustainable and competitive business venture.
