Recycling Energy Conversion Business Plan
Executive Summary
Objective
Nationwide, many landfills are closing or exhausting their remaining capacity, yet due to environmental restrictions, zoning laws, and other regulatory and bureaucratic delays, pitifully few new landfills are opening to offset the looming space crisis. Meanwhile municipal waste continues to flow in greater volume. Handling the nation's waste stream has become a major problem for most municipalities. With more waste created daily, landfills nationwide are rapidly facing a capacity crisis. Landfills are akin to owning a reverse gold mine.
Paryavaran Mitra, Inc. (PM) has been formed to provide a solution for municipal waste problem in the area of Vadodara and capitalize on the lucrative benefits of possessing fully permitted landfills.
The Operation
There are four components in this operation: Purchase two landfills; sort and recycle incoming waste; import an out-of-state waste stream; and convert landfill gas to either electricity or a fuel alternative.
PM will purchase the landfills, in near Nandesari where waste transportation and other facilities will be available easily. At landfills, all waste will be sorted and recyclables removed. The remainder will be compacted, baled, and buried in the landfills. Today, only 10% of the landfills nationwide perform these functions, the remainder preferring to dump raw waste into their landfills, thereby ignoring a substantial source of income.
PM will accept direct delivery of waste to its landfills; dispatch its own road tractors to bring more distant waste
PM a steady waste stream, independent of other sources, to meet its income projections in the first month of operations. Initially, PM expects to accept as much as 1,540 tons to its landfills daily.
Unique Features
At the landfills incoming waste will be dumped into receiving facilities designed to contain waste vapors, control
