Conversion cost is the cost required to convert Raw material into finished goods. As the conversion cost is less profits can be increased and it will also help to be competitive in the market. Cost management is the key to survival in a competitive global industry. The quantity of resin converted per year is a good indicator of the capacity of a plastic converter, which is associated with the converting technology in place. It allows interesting comparisons, and should reflect purchasing capabilities as well as potential for economy of scale. This project deals with waste utilization and energy analysis in terms of cost of the stretching process of bi-axially oriented polypropylene films using a hot oil coiler along with stretching unit. Efficient energy use is critical for the success of any industrial facility since reduced energy consumption through energy conservation/saving programs can benefit not only consumers and utilities, but society in general as well. This is very important for companies having cost structures that are highly dependent upon the relative importance of the cost of raw materials, particularly for extrusion-oriented converters active in film making or in sheet manufacturing.
