01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

Reduce over dependance of plastic as a major raw marerial for human lifestyle products.Creating a "natural tooth brush".Soil pollution majorly by plastic based products.This affects the proper growth of plants which we all depend on for food,shelter, water catchment areas among other benefits.Also deforestation is undoubtedly the leading cause for desertification, drought,dry lands that later become unproductive and further graduate to food shortages; and in areas where this conditions are critical get struck by famine and inevitably death as a result of starvation.I believe that more green and less plastic is the only future.

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service fourni par votre startup (au moins 3).

Bamboo is cheaper than plastic raw materials, low product production costs and is readily available localy.Bamboo grows faster,needs no close attention as it is resilient and invasive in that;if you planted one bamboo cutting or seedling,it's going to sprout more than one bamboo pole and in most cases a whole cluster from a single seedling;these will ensure the ready availability and abundance of raw materials.Secondly,this will create entrepreneurs in agribamboo who will in turn make a livelihood and income from growing and selling bamboo.Other skilled and unskilled jobs will also be created from management, logistics, technical, marketing and agribamboo departments.Thirdly, growing of bamboo will increase green cover which will bring about more rainfall and at same time the use of bamboo will surpress the need to always have to cut down trees ,more like killing two birds with one stone.

01.04 Veuillez décrire précisément à qui s'adresse le produit/service de votre startup. Quels sont les bénéficiaires visés ?

Mostly it's targeted to benefit the people who are suffering and dying from hunger, famine and in some areas drought.Growing bamboo in dry areas to attract rainfall will be a major milestone in the war against hunger and water shortage. More food will mean lower prices which will inturn lead to a more affordable lifestyle both in cities and rural areas.The major beneficiary of this startup is also the general population.Most of the products that we are making like dinking straw,toothbrushes,and dustbins are used in mostly every households,corporates,Governments this will create alternative green products for them to consume. Cheap bamboo F pad bins will help learning institutions to easily manage disposal of menstrual pads for female students.
