Marketing Strategy The marketing strategy is the core of the main strategy 1. Emphasize high treasure, high quality overlaps and services. 2. Build a relationship oriented business. 3. Focus on large and medium industries currently producing liquifiable wastes and polluting rivers severely as our initial markets.Products and Services Our products and services offer inevitable solution to the selected industries. We leave provide two types of product 1. Liquid waste solidification service This service is suitable for those industries that generate crystal clear wastes required a convenient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly way to dispose of these substances. This solidifi cation act upon involves mixing liquid waste with selected reagents and/or absorbents to create a substance hard and dry enough to be landfilled.Solidifying liquid waste in this manner al emits companies to economically dispose of non-hazardous liquids in a Green Industry Subtitle D landfill while reducing its long-term contingent liability. Our consultant result evaluate the liquid waste to see if it qualifies for liquid waste solidification treatment and beca go for determine the specific reagents needed to solidify it. The recommended treatment go away be conducted in a safe and timely manner in full meekness with environmental regulations. 2.Recycling service This is for those residues which stand be recycled from waste to fertilizers and opposite soil enhancer. Recycling is biological decomposition of organic materials. Bacteria, fungi, protozoan, insects, worms and other organisms typically fulfill a part in the decomposition process. Composting is natures means of cy cle. It provide turn grass clipping, leaves, vegetables, fruit and other organic materials into a very beneficial soil amendment. As a market pioneer we will offer certain services.They be We have a well established website to asseverate our activities and services to our current and potential customers. Moreover, they can place bless in our website and we will provide them their desired services within 3 days. In order to increase the value of waste, we will consult on different options of managing waste taking into consideration risk and cost/benefits and the present legislation of residues treatment and governing body. We will provide an exclusive service at a low cost to maintain our disposal system to our customer.There will be several teams consisting of technicians and workers who will go to the companies individually on a regular basis to check the system working ripely. Product Description Liquid waste solidification A solidified liquid waste is a Six-Step Process . 1. Evaluation Based on waste profile information provided by the customer or samples taken on site, Green Industry technicians test the samples at the ne atomic number 18st Green Industry landfill and select an appropriate mixture of reagents and/or absorbents for treatment. 2.Transportation Green Industry transports the liquid waste to a designated Subtitle D landfill where it is weighed. Transport can be accomplished using tanker trucks, drums or roll-off containers. 3. Monitoring The liquid waste is poured into a specially engineered liquid container basin. This basin is monitored regularly to reassure that its surface remains intact and that no liquids leach into the surrounding environment. 4. Introduction to Mixture Reagents and/or absorbents are introduced to the mixture. The basin may then be sealed depending on local air permit regulations or to fit the eeds of the waste materials. 5. Tests The liquid and reagents/absorbents are automatically mixed. Once the liquid hard ens, one or much paint filter tests are performed to confirm that the substance is no longer in a liquid state. 6. Landfill Disposal Solidified waste is transferred from the engineered basin to a site vehicle and directed for disposal within the adjacent Subtitle D landfill. Recycling The residues which can be recycled to fertilizers will be evaluated by our experienced technicians and then will be sent to our recycling department to process it.These recycling/composting wholes work as follows. The unit is 50 feet long. The sludge is placed into one end of the unit. To make compost, additional dry fibrous material such as sawdust, wood chips, or bark must be added. We will acquire a steady supply of these from International Paper Company. The unit turns late, making four revolutions per hour, to go steady that capable oxygen gets to all of the composting material. Also, the unit is set on a very slight, 2 degree angle so that as the unit turns, the material slowly migrates towa rd the opposite end of the unit.During the composting process, the material heats up (due to the natural reaction) to temperatures of approximately 140 degrees Fahrenheit this kills any harmful bacteria in the composting material. Temperature can be controlled to ensure optimum composting environment. Also, the moisture levels can be controlled to ensure optimum composting. After three days, the material has reached the opposite end of the unit where it is removed. determine In Bangladesh just about of the industry-owners are not willing to pay high cost to develop effluent management system in their industries.So our main goal will be to provide our service at minimum possible price in the first phase of the business. Place To reduce our cost we will utilize direct distribution system which means all our services will be available in our regional office. Promotion Our promotional strategy will be two-fold first phase promotion will focus on before, during, and six months followi ng our opening the assist phase of promotion will get laid with the long term activities. The purposes of the first phase are to create market for our keep company and to ensure early and sustained profitability.The purpose of the second phase is to ensure long-term gain and helps boost us toward achieving our goal of expanding new market and sectors without Bangladesh. In this report we will describe the first phase of promotion. own(prenominal) Selling Once face-to-face with our customer, we will be unique in our creative and flexible glide slope in order to solve our clients waste problems. Our approach will be that of a consulting firm. We will visit the customer and investigate which residues the industry has. We will manage and collect whatever residues exist.The process begins with an evaluation meeting with our future client where our representative will analyze the scrap output and recommend the most efficient collection system. Pick-up will be scheduled on an as-ne eded basis or on a regular schedule, depending on the situation. The clients needs can be met by a variety of equipment, including special trucks. After the initial consultation, a comprehensive and customized proposal will be submitted to the customer. The result will be a program that fits neatly into an organizations day-to-day activities as well as its long-term planning.Arranging Campaigns About 6,000 large and medium industries and 24,000 down(p) industries are operating in Bangladesh which dis focusing effluents directly to the rivers or nearby canal or waterbed without any regard to environment. Green Industry will arrange a huge number of campaigns and seminars to aware people about the river pollution they are trustworthy of. We will focus mainly on the owners of textile, tannery, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, metal, food industry, fertilizers, cement, and chemical industries to attend these campaigns and seminars.According to an expert, an average of 19 cubic liter wa ter containing more than 300 different chemical compounds is being discharge daily from these industries. So our main objective will be to protect our rivers from pollution by influencing industry-owners to take aim waste management system and for their convenience we will provide our technology.

Introduction Stage At the introduction stage our sales growth will tend to be slow because it takes time to roll out a new product. Our profit will be low or negative. pic trope Product Life Cycle In the introduction stage our marketing strategies will be Product will be introduced to the target market with sword name and trust. Pricing will be low. We will maintain a lean cost structure.We will dispose of waste in large quantities, thus enjoying lower costs and economies of scale.

We will provide our service in Khulna and Bogra outside Dhaka. Promotion will be for product preference advertising. We will focus more industries in our promotional activities. Situation Analysis Dhaka city of ours is affected with various environmental problems staking the lives of its inhabitants. Because of highly dense population, lack of environmental consciousness among the inhabi tants and absence of proper role of public agencies it is going to be one of the deadliest cities in world as well.At present river pollution in Bangladesh has become a business concern for all environment concern people. In Bangladesh, industrial units are mostly located along the banks of the rivers. There are obvious reasons for this such as supplying of transportation for incoming raw materials and outgoing finished products. Unfortunately, as a consequence, industrial units drain effluents directly into the rivers without any consideration of the environmental degradation. The most tough industries for the water sector are textiles, tanneries, pulp and paper mills, fertilizer, industrial chemical production and refineries.A complex mixture of hazardous chemicals, both organic and inorganic, is discharged into the water bodies from all these industries usually without treatment. To improve the situation, the government has decided to make it mandatory for all industries to ha ve effluent treatment plants. But in Bangladesh there is no such a company like us to provide the complete solution for managing liquid waste. Therefore it is the high time for us to work out the market and create consciousness among people against river pollution. Customer Analysis Target Market ILRM will target the industries which produce liquid and hazardous residues.We will use demographic and geographic segmentation so that we can reach the customer more efficiently and effectively with products and services that match their different needs. Geographic naval division Green Industry will focus on these areas which are being densely polluted by the industrial wastes. The major industrial locations of the soil are concentrated in three metropolitan areas Dhaka, which includes Tejgaon, Hazaribagh, Demra, Tongi, Savar, and Narayangonj. Khulna, which includes Shiromoni, Kalishpur, and Rupsha. Chittagong, which includes Kalurghat, Patenga, Bhatiary, Nasirabad, and Kaptai. Bogra is a rapidly growing industrial center in the northwestern part of the country where many of the mould tools and agro-based industries are located. In the first year of operation, GI will target only to Dhaka and Chittagong and after reaching the break even point in these locations we will expand our area coverage. Corporate/Professional Segmentation As GIs mission is to reduce water pollution by episode GIs product in the selected industries, we will keep those industries which are mostly responsible for the pollution on our center of our attention.Estimated industrial pollution has summarized in Table 1 in the index. It shows the top-eleven most polluting industries, which we will focus on. They are- pulp and paper, pharmaceuticals, metal, food industry, fertilizers, cement, tanneries, textiles, and industrial chemicals. Market Growth This market growth is fueled by a more health conscious customer. By different campaigns and seminars we will induce industry owners to adopt was te management process which will modify us to grow our market. Again, our recycling process has a great potential market of selling fertilizers.After a certain period of time when our company reaches to maturity stage, we will introduce more ways of disposing hazardous and non-hazardous industrial residues. This will help us to continue our market growth smoothly through entering into new market segments in different stage. Market Trends Current trends in the market greatly favor the start-up of our waste management business. Laws have been passed in Bangladesh placing greater emphasis on industrial waste management. These laws take effect in 2009. Large industries are already seeking a means of disposal their waste in an environment friendly way.So Green Industry solves their problem. Again our recycling department also has a great impact on organic fertilizer market. The demand for compost to use in organic farming and other applications is growing rapidly. Marketing Strategy for Small Industries Some small industries will not have much space for implementing our liquid waste solidification process. Because they also produce toxic liquid wastes which pollute rivers at some same rate as large industries do, we have special service to offer. We will provide them a special kind of containers to pour their liquid waste into these containers. Then we will collect the ontainers daily and dispose them safely in our companys personal basin constructed in our factory area. The service charge and transportation cost will be paid by the customers. Level of Competition In Bangladesh the level of competition for our company is low. There are no companies in the market that have a proposal like ours to manage all liquid waste released by a company, either with commercial value or not, in a safe way. The main competitors are the current companies that collect specific types of scrap. Most of these companies are small, offering unprofessional services with low scale econo mies in their operations.Risks After evaluating the critical elements of the investment and business risk, we have come to the conclusion that there is an acceptable overall risk for the Green Industry concept for the following reasons Industry We will be a pioneer in a nascent industry. However, this industry has great potential. Demand assumptions In our country most of the industry-owners are not willing to allocate their investment for waste management. Rather they will throw their wastes to a river which is cost free. Our main obstacle will be to pursue them to develop a waste management system.Again small industries do not have much space and investment to curb our waste management system. Though we have a different and convenient plan for these small industries, but convincing them will be much tougher than the prosecute big industries. Technological and operational obsolescence New operational and technological processes will likely reduce the quantity of waste generated . However, this will not only be a slow process, but not all companies will be willing to pay for the changes required. Some industries will be very difficult and pricey to change.We believe there will always be an industrial waste demand. Branding As a new company discolouration value is all important(p) for the growth of our business. We will create our brand equity by stating the benefits and attributes of our products and services. Our brand will say our core value which is to save our river water from getting polluted. Moreover, our brand promises to provide all stated services to our customers. Benefits of liquid waste solidification Cost-savings over alternative treatment and disposal solutions. Compliance with environmental regulations. Long-term indemnification.Advantages of this recycling/composting method are as follows Recycling is completed rapidly in three days. Other methods take 90 plus days. Waste materials in the unit are isolated from the environment. The manager has precise control of moisture, temperature, and aeration during the process to ensure the most efficient composting possible. In-vessel composting can maintain a rapid decomposition process year-round regardless of external ambient conditions. The material can be used for improvement of organic matter content and fertility of soil.
