1. Green Gold Solid Waste Project
Executive Summary:-
Green Gold is a solid waste management facility. It recycles the solid garbage produced by
household and convert it into natural green fertilizer. Which will be used for producing green
foods , vegetables and helps the land to be more fertile with less consumption of water.We are
segregating the solid waste into organic and inorganic. The organic which is usually the 70% of
the total will be used to produce our end product.
This marketing plan illustrates our market segments and the strategies we are employing to get
customers and create a solid revenue stream. Our mission is to provide responsible management
of household waste for the protection of health, safety and welfare of the society and
environment in a cost effective manner.
Green Gold gives an advantage over competitors by giving customers a new and unique product,
inorganic part which is 15% of the total garbage is sold to scrapper. This fills a read need of not
just supplying the fertilizer but also contribute to the environment by minimizing the emission of
carbon and maintaining a green environment for a healthy population.
Our project is a research oriented in which we can get the exact information about the all
perishable, non-perishable products, consumer prefernces, changing trends, consumption
patternsand more over the the diseases prevailing in the society.
Through awareness Green gold results in a massive demand of the usage ov green fertilizer. This
sector has enough potential of growth and solid waste management is specifically a lucrative
business due to its uniqueness. To gain market share we have devised strategies carefully to
target specific segments with features that deliver benefit valued by each customer group. Our
primary marketing objective is to recover our investment cost with in minimum time of 4 months
or earlier .
2. Green Gold Description
Mission
Green Gold is committed to provide responsible management of household waste for the
protection of health, safety and welfare of the society and environment in a cost
effective manner.
The following values guide the mission statement of Green Gold :
ï‚· Delivering all integrated solid waste management services provided to residents in a cost
effective manner
ï‚· Environmental awareness and protection
ï‚· Maintaining a safe work environment
ï‚· Providing superior customer service
ï‚· Commitment to excellence in all aspects of operations
BUSINESS IDEA.
The business idea of green gold is all about producing 100% natural green fertilizer, which is
quite different than the normal businesses.
In a major metropolitan city like Faisalabad there is too much garbage scattered all around the
city. This garbage is the major source of raw material supply for our business, if is collected on
daily basis from the houses
3. The Green Gold is a first step towards solid waste management which is an eco-friendly,
beneficial towards society and a fruitful conributer towards economy. The major raw material
which would be used to produce green fertilizer is all about organic garbage,which can be
processed by three following methods,
1. Watering & Wind Rose method
2. With the help of machinery
3. Dumping method
ï‚· Dumping is not a very environment-friendly option while on the other hand with the help
of machinery it is very costly. So through water and wind rose method decomposition of
Organic garbage is the only cost effective option.
Perished fruits and vegetables are main contituents of our raw material which we have to pick up
from the homes upon daily basis. On the other hand the inorganic garbage will also increase our
revnue by its sale to scrapper.
Inorganic garbage contains:-
ï‚· Plastic varieties
ï‚· Shopper varieties
ï‚· Pet Bottles
ï‚· Rubber varieties
ï‚· Rags
ï‚· Paper
 Carton’s variety
ï‚· Leather
ï‚· Iron
 Medicine other Glass bottles’ variety etc
5. Key success factor:-.
 The project’s major key success factor is that the business is unique in the market and
requires less startup capital. Its estimated to be around Rs:600,000.
ï‚· Transportation and conversion cost is highly affordable.
ï‚· Competitors in the market are few in the business.
ï‚· This helps the business to bring innovations and hence the growth level of business
would be very high with high profit margin
BUSINESS PROCESS.
The garbage is firstly collected from the houses with the help of Suzuki Pick Up by three
persons, one driver and two collectors. After collection it is brought to processing place then it is
segregated into two parts
One is organic and other is inorganic. Inorganic part of garbage is sold to scrapper at about the
average of Rs 6.50 per kg. organic part of garbage is set upon the tunnel in which there are many
holes for passing air to decompose it.proper water is sprinkled upon the organic garbage to make
