3. Waste edible oil recycling project
Idea summary
The project is about trading in used edible oils, which are needed in other industries. This trade has two ideas:
- The first: in using these oils to manufacture soap used in cleaning and washing utensils.
- The second idea: is to act as a liaison between companies that consider these oils waste and then dispose of them and companies that require these oils in industrial processes to manufacture their product.
Idea requirements
- A means of transportation for transporting oils to and from factories.
- Containers to fill with oil and move it from one place to another.
- A list of factories that produce used oils as waste and other factories that use them in their manufacture.
- A safe place to take as a store, whether to store oils and supply them to those who ask for them or even store them for use in the manufacture of soap. And beware of flammable materials.
- Raw materials for the manufacture of soap are used in cleaning utensils for the manufacture of homemade soap.
Success factors for the idea
If you want the project to take the path of contracting only, meaning that you are the mediator between the factories that give up the used oils and the other factories that need them.
For your idea to succeed, you must:
- Provide attractive offers and discounts for both parties (the factory that gives you the oil and the other factory that takes it) so that you are the mediator between them.
- Ascertain the safety of the vehicle that will be in charge of transporting oil to and from the factories, as well as its ability to carry oil containers.
- Keep the containers used to transport the oil clean so that you can reuse them without worrying about deposits that could harm your soap making.
But if you intend to make your project to manufacture soap using these used oils, you must:
- Obtaining the licenses that allow you to practice this project so that you do not fall under the burden of legal accountability by practicing the manufacturing profession without licenses.
- You can use e-marketing by creating a Facebook page and advertising on it.
- Go to the owners of detergent stores and offer your services at lower prices until you get customers at the beginning of your project.
- Distinctive containers to fill with handmade soap… They have the project’s logo and name, which helps a lot in the process of promoting your product.
- A means of transportation to deliver orders in the event that you rely on promoting the project through the Internet or even delivering the product to the stores that you have previously agreed with.
4. Candle-making project
Idea summary
The idea of the project is to make candles of different shapes and sizes from raw wax. Some believe that it is a difficult process and requires certain technical ideas. We do not deny that it needs artistic and creative ideas, but this is not difficult; with learning, everything becomes easy. Also, searching for pictures of candles online will help you make more.
Idea requirements
- Wax ore is solid and comes in the form of solid blocks.
- Molds to form the wax inside it after melting it.
- A page on a social media platform for marketing preferable on Facebook or Instagram.
- A camera with good imaging quality to photograph products for display.
- A list of decoration shops that you can supply wax to
- Pictures of wax shapes can take ideas from them.
Success factors for the idea
- The good quality of the wax used in order to produce products that meet the requirements of customers.
- Study the market well and know the different tastes of the target audience. You can do this by entering the pages that sell candles, following customer reviews, and knowing their trends.
- Provide everything that is new, unique, and commensurate with the tastes of your audience. For example, if you are targeting a wealthy audience who is interested in classic wax products, the colors that will appeal to them are well-known classics.However, if you are targeting the youth market, particularly those aged 18 to 30, modern colors and popular shapes will undoubtedly appeal to this demographic.
- A good page on Facebook and another on Instagram.
- Good photography of products and displaying them in a way that draws attention, taking into account that the picture is very close to the truth so as not to harm the reputation of the project.
