1. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY:
Provide executive summary/quick overall view of the project,
highlighting the need/problem/issue that the project is tackling)
Smokers around the world buy roughly 6.5 trillion cigarettes each year. That’s 18 billion every day. While
most of a cigarette’s innards and paper wrapping disintegrate when smoked, not everything gets burned.
Whatever their direct health impact on or benefit to smokers, cigarette filters pose a serious litter and toxic
waste disposal problem. Close to 4.5 trillion cigarette filter is left over, only an estimated third of which
make it into the trash. The rest are casually flung into the street or out a window. Filters from smoked
cigarettes contain a significant amount of tar trapped in it. The tar contains thousands of chemicals and heavy
metals. Both of these organic and inorganic constituents can leach into the soil or water sources and pose
threat to animals and plants, from there they can enter into the food chain as well and have been reported to
be toxic to humans and cause a variety of diseases including inflammatory lung diseases, cardiovascular
diseases, and cancers. Smoking in Egypt is prevalent as 19 billion cigarettes are smoked annually in the
country making it the largest market in the Arab world. In the past few years smoking in Egypt has reached an
all-time high with an estimated twenty percent as fifteen million people regularly using tobacco products.
What is the solution (Product/service) that your project is offering to this
problem? Who is your target audience?
After research, and in an attempt to find a way to get rid of cigarette waste
and reduce its harm, our solution is recycling cigarettes into three main
products; cotton sheets from cigarette butts, mosquito repellents and insects
from cigarettes paper, and insecticide from tobacco, and all with perfect price
compared with those in the marker with the same quality or more effective.
