Plastic Water bottles, a threat??? • Only1in5 water bottles are recycled. • The other 4contribute to the 3 Billion pound of waste from plastic water bottles. • 30billionplastic water bottles are thrown away every year. • 200,000tonnescarbon dioxide are produced by plastic bottle industry each year. • 57,140trees would be needed to absorb20,000 tonnesof CO2. • Plastic bottles take 700yearsto begin composting
Only 20%of the total PET production available for recycling was actually recycled (NAPCOR 2002). The major fraction of this 80%waste plastic that goes to the landfills is plastic water bottle caps due to their difficult recycling process as they are high molecular weight plastics.
Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch!!! Victim of the great garbage patch: Turtle is just one of thousands left deformed or dead by Pacific Ocean plastic • Its shell constricted by a plastic band, this turtle is just one victim of the great garbage patch. But while the reptile may be deformed, it is more fortunate than many of the animals that come into contact with the huge sea of waste in the northern Pacific Ocean. Greenpeace workers have found countless dead seabirds, turtles, dolphins, whales, etc.their stomachs laced with plasticitems such as bottle caps, lighters and balloons....

GREEN CAPS ??? • Biodegradable alternative for plastic water bottle caps • Made of Cashew nut shell liquid • Less time to break down • Renewable • Environment friendly • Less energy for manufacturing • Easily recyclable • Not toxic • Reduces dependence on the foreign oil
our INVENTION phenol, aniline and formaldehyde 1:2:4 solvent less synthesis technique monomer resin 80ͦ C blended CNSL CNSL based thermoplastic rapid prototype injection molding technique prototyping Technique Caps GREEN CAPS
Why Green Caps??? • This thermoplastic material is 100%from renewable resources. 60% to90%decomposition can be achieved within 60to180days of being placed in a standard environment - this may be either a composting situation or a landfill.
Cost??? • Cashew nuts shells are available for trading from March through June. According our field research in some of the villages in Cuddalore district and interview with cashew nut sellers CNSL is available throught the year and variation in price is negligible in off season. 1 litreof cashew nut shell liquid is Less than a 1 $. Cashew Nut Shell Liquids (CNSL) have a storage life of more than 2 years.
Plan Of Action • Making a team of like-minded individuals who were united by common vision. • Deciding on team name, logo, mission & vision. • Identifying problem at grass root level. • Finding alternate solutions. • Deciding best alternative keeping in mind availability, cost involved, advantage & disadvantage of each.
Manufacturing of Caps • Approaching institutes like Indo US Endowment Funding, VIT TBI & Acarafor funding of our project. Future- • Testing acceptance of GREEN CAPS in local market (social impact). • Approach Cap Manufacturing companies for using Cashew nut shell cap of choice at Local then Global level to reduce the overall cost of the Green Caps.
Marketing strategy Our supply chain unlike a retail product is quite simple: CNSL manufacturer Green Caps manufacturer bottle manufacturer (us) • Our target customers are plastic water bottle manufacturers. • Our initial targets will be plastic water manufacturers in nearby regions of Tamil Nadu
Come join us, We will together make our planet beautiful… ( GREEN CAPS on )
