New Sustainable Business Opportunity
The future is EcoCover.

EcoCover is a brilliant new sustainable business opportunity. EcoCover turns waste into useful products that help feed the world. The EcoCover manufacturing processes emit no VOCs and a plant can be sited almost anywhere. Manufacturing energy requirements are modest. The manufacturing processes create almost no waste, no toxins, a little CO2 and water vapor.

Hunter Lovins, author of the best selling sustainability book, Natural Capitalism, recently visited the EcoCover plant in Auckland, New Zealand and stated:

"EcoCover exemplifies Natural Capitalism. It takes waste products and uses biological wisdom to create a product that displaces petrochemicals. The business hires previously unemployed people; the product significantly enhances food production; saves water; stops weeds; and makes money. EcoCover is very impressive."

EcoCover improves and benefits the most essential industry in the world - agriculture.

EcoCover is made from organically certified, 100-percent biodegradable inputs and materials that do not harm the environment. Organically grown food is the fastest growing segment of products and produce in the food and grocery business. Even Wal-Mart is going organic!

EcoCover is a paper mulch mat. 87-percent by weight is recycled waste paper and post consumer recycled paper that might otherwise go to landfill. EcoCover helps solve solid waste disposal problems that are prevalent almost everywhere in the world. When a farmer, gardener, vineyard or orchard owner mulches with EcoCover, the product is eventually tilled into the soil and becomes additional humus. There is nothing to dispose of, no waste, no harm. The environmental and economic expense of removing plastic film from soil and disposing of it in an environmentally responsible manner is a major costs of plastic not included in the purchase price.

EcoCover has consistently outperformed plastic mulch in independently conducted university research trials around the world. Research shows:

The independently conducted research is available for your review.

There is nothing else in the world like EcoCover. EcoCover mulch mat products are protected by international patents in 21 countries including the USA and Canada. We have developed 3 new patent protected products and one proprietary product since March 2005. More developments are on the way.

Perhaps the best reason that EcoCover is a superior sustainable business opportunity is because it is very profitable. A business investment in EcoCover with an effective sales and marketing effort should pay for itself out of pre-tax net earnings in 3 to 5 years. The markets are broad, deep and essential.

EcoCover replaces plastic film made from petroleum. Oil prices are going no place but up. Plastic film is not sustainable. Prices have risen well over 100-percent in the past 18 months. As the price of oil continues to rise, as oil demand increases and as supplies become dearer, plastic film will price itself out of the market. EcoCover EcoCrop™, our product used primarily for annual crops like vegetables, is already competitively priced with better grades of plastic. We will continue to see a competitive cost advantage for our products.  Read Plastic Product Prices Rise As Natural Gas Prices Soar.

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

The present market for plastic film used in agriculture, landscaping, gardening and soil remediation exceeds 3 million acres annually in the USA. Around the world, the annual market exceeds 30 million acres. An EcoCover manufacturing plant running 2 shifts 24 hours per day 240 days per year will produce approximately 1,200 square acres of EcoCover’s EcoCrop™ product, enough to do 2,400 to 4,000 acres of growing ground. The future market for EcoCover in North America could easily exceed 1,000 manufacturing plants. The EcoCover opportunity is scalable.

The new sustainable business opportunity with EcoCover is to purchase the manufacturing plants to make the products locally. In an energy constrained future, local production for local consumption will be the new normal, which is actually the way things used to be before the invention of the automobile, long haul trucking and air transport, all of which are highly dependent on fossil fuels. Local production and supply will make the best use of our energy resources. In the time between now and then, EcoCover can be sold anyplace in the world and the entire USA, Canada and the rest of North America is your market.
