EcoCover is one of the best organic business opportunities in Canada, ever.

Imagine owning your own small manufacturing business making an organically certified product.  The product is patented in Canada, the United States and 19 other countries.

  • EcoCover has no direct competitors, there is nothing else like it on the market.
     
  • This organic product is patented in 21 countries.
     
  • The bulk of the material in EcoCover is waste paper that would otherwise go to landfill
     
  • EcoCover replaces plastic film and sheeting used for agricultural, landscaping and garden mulch.
     
  • EcoCover is 100% biodegradable.
     
  • EcoCover stops weed growth, conserves water, enriches the soil, reduces or eliminates the need for chemical herbicides, reduces the need for chemical fertilizers.
     
  • This product is environmentally positive.
     
  • Manufacturing EcoCover creates zero waste.
     
  • New product development is ongoing, such as our new EcoPin™ biodegradable pin.

Read a recent news release about EcoPin™ as a landscape fabric pin alternative.

Read about the research that shows 30 to 40 percent yield increases over plastic mulch.

What makes EcoCover such an interesting organic business opportunity in Canada, or an  venture capital investment? EcoCover is an environmentally sustainable investment that reuses waste, enhances plant growth and improves the soil.  There is no competition for EcoCover in Canada or the United States at this time.  Plastic resin, made mainly from oil, went up in cost over 20% during October 2005.  Plastic is not sustainable.  Over 12 million hectares of plastic is used annually in agriculture and landscaping.  EcoCover replaces plastic.  Read Plastic Product Prices Rise As Natural Gas Prices Soar.

Emerging markets are huge and essential, such as this January 18, 2007 UN announcement to plant one billion new trees this year to combat the effects of global warming.  EcoCover Weed Squares are an excellent mulch and weed control for tree seedlings.  A tree planting project in Australia recently used 84,000 square meters of EcoCover.  To mulch a billion trees would take about 480  EcoCover manufacturing plants running 3 shifts 5 days a week 240 days to create a billion square meters of EcoCover Mulch Mat.  Sale price of a billion Weed Squares would be approximately US $150 billion. Time to repay the manufacturing plant investment? Less than 8 months.

There are lots of profitable opportunities and ideas available for business investment but few, if any, like EcoCover and few that are organic.  Are other ideas sustainable?

That depends on your view of the future.  The forward thinking inventors of EcoCover were in the plastic film and plastic mulch business in New Zealand.  Plastic film and mulch are commodities.  EcoCover is brand-able, and patented.  The future will be much different from the cheap energy world of the past 50 years.  Successful businesses and products in the future will be compatible with Mother Nature, have low input costs, be energy efficient and environmentally neutral or positive.  EcoCover meets all of these requirements.

News item January 19, 2007: Toronto - Environmentalism will be the next industrial revolution and Canada must move quickly if it is to stay ahead of worldwide economic changes brought about by issues such as global warming, federal Liberal Leader Stephane Dion said Tuesday in what he called his ''first major speech as Liberal leader.''  Read Going Green to Get Rich.

News Item January 29, 2007: Organic Farming Is Here to Stay

Agricultural productivity improvements will be in great demand as population increases, energy costs rise and environmental wisdom grows to realize that we cannot continue to pollute the planet with poisonous chemicals and non biodegradable materials used in agriculture.  Landfills are filling up.  Taking up and disposing of agricultural plastic is a significant expense for growers and a major environmental problem for all of us.  EcoCover solves these problems.  Till it in and replant, that's all there is to it.

The EcoCover business opportunity proposition is to purchase one or more manufacturing plants which you own outright with a license to manufacture patented EcoCover products.

  • You need about Canada $2.2 million in investment and working capital, less for an already established business with current cash flow.
     
  • You are purchasing a complete automated manufacturing line and ancillary equipment to manufacture the products.
     
  • The purchase price includes on-site installation, start-up and commissioning.
     
  • The purchase price includes training for your workers and maintenance personnel.
     
  • You have the right to manufacture EcoCover products under license.
     
  • You get a head start marketing program so that you can begin sampling and selling the products before the plant is in operation.

Besides investment funding, what else do you need?

  • A 950 square meter (or larger) building or manufacturing floor space, preferably with floor to ceiling clearance of about 7 meters.
     
  • Basic utilities including 3 phase electricity, a source of heating gas (natural, propane, LNG, butane) and potable water - about 600 liters per shift of production.
     
  • Material handling equipment (a fork truck) and storage racks
     
  • Five plant workers, an office administrator and a plant manager-salesperson

EcoCover new product developments are ongoing.  For example, the manufacturing plant opportunity in early 2005 was:

  • The EcoCover plant on site commissioned (meaning installed, started up, workers trained, trials run)
     
  • The manufacturing plant capable of producing standard mulch mat and weed squares
     
  • Positive results from early research findings

The present manufacturing plant opportunity is:

  • The EcoCover plant on site commissioned (meaning installed, started up, workers trained, trials run)
     
  • The EcoCover plant is now capable of producing mulch mat, weed squares, EcoCrop mat, EcoCoverRF™ (Hessian reinforced EcoCover) + new derivatives (EcoPotTops), hanging basket liners, etc. with the primary processes all run on the same manufacturing line.
     
  • The new EcoPin™ as a stand alone highly profitable product, see www.ecopinusa.com useful as biodegradable landscape pins and temporary survey markers.
     
  • Additional plant features that include: in line slitting and cutting (at no additional cost) which saves a secondary manufacturing process; new glue system and changeover spray bars; faster output (EcoCrop Mat line speed); new software package for full automatic start up, monitoring, shut down and operation.
     
  • Positive feedback from EcoCover users all around the world.
     
  • Significant new research validating new product claims with outstanding results with more research in process (university research in India and Norway)
     
  • Continuing new product development. See EcoCover product developments in process here.

The value added through continuing research and development is as great as the initial offer, and this is all at no additional cost. There are other incentives for the first plant purchasers in North America.  EcoCover is doing everything possible to make this a great opportunity.
