Interim-results:

Getting a foothold in the plastic’s market as a green ( see background on plastics, they use oil derivatives as a source ), easy to use and at a fair price ( equal to plastics, is this doable? )

To achieve this early investments in to more R&D have to be done to improve/optimise and finalise the product (also to be used in the existing molds used for plastics). It is hard to impossible to sell our product if it is not finished. Investments in marketing, in our already existing network/advertisements/approaching new customers, will have to be done. Offering the same price as normal plastics, together with R&D and marketing investments will lead to a loss at start. This has to be done to enter this new market, we are already established in the Velastine market to cover these costs.

Initiative:
Velastine granules + Egal to create a new greener plastics to obtain the largest market share in plastics and be profitable.

Definition:
Creating a easy to use/mold plastic which is strong (like Velastine). So that every customer can find or we can create needs for it.

Design:
Solid Velastine granules and Liquid (packed under Argon) Egal, to be delivered separately to the customers used in the customers already existing molds.

Preparation:
R&D towards the design mentioned above.

Realisation:
Time line?

Follow-up:
To be decided on??
Analysis of the product:

Pro’s: Biodegradable, Non oil source, price?,

Con’s: Biodegradable?, Egal has to be stored under Argon, Separate delivery’s.

Competitor’s: - raw materials: crude oil has to be cracked (breaking down bigger molecules), which then has to be chemically processed into hydrocarbon monomers. - Monomers are polymerised in chemical plants, which can include adding plasticizers, dyes and flame-retardant chemicals. The final polymer resins are usually in the forms of pellets or beads.

- Heated, molded and allowed to cool down:

Extrusion: Pellets are heated and mechanically mixed in a long chamber, forced through a small opening and cooled with air or water. This method is used to make plastic films.

Injection molding: The resin pellets are heated and mechanically mixed in a chamber and then forced under high pressure into a cooled mold. This process is used for containers like butter and yoghurt tubs.

Blow molding: This technique is used in conjunction with extrusion or injection molding. The resin pellets are heated and compressed into a liquid tube, like toothpaste. The resin goes into the chilled mold, and compressed air gets blown into the resin tube. The air expands the resin against the walls of the mold. This process is used to make plastic bottles.

Rotational molding: The resin pellets are heated and cooled in a mold that can be rotated in three dimensions. The rotation evenly distributes the plastic along the walls of the mold. This technique is used to make large, hollow plastic items (toys, furniture, sporting equipment, septic tanks, garbage cans and kayaks).

- Nylons (66 polyamides) still remain important plastics, and not just for use in fabrics. In its bulk form it is very wear resistant, particularly if oil-impregnated, and so is used to build gears, plain bearings, and because of good heat-resistance, increasingly for under-the-hood applications in cars, and other mechanical parts.
