There can be many perspectives based on a person's
qualifications, experience, interest, competence, network, networth
etc. Being an environmentalist, I would like to start business of
solid waste management because :-
- Huge and perpetual potential of customers
- Ever increasing trend of waste creation would be always a
surplus for inputs
- More is supply of waste, more I can charge from customers as
this is a demerit good which everyone wants to get rid at any
cost.
- High opportunity cost of saving environment
- Huge support from various funding agencies providing carbon
ratings
- Awareness of psychological and philosophical aspect related to
self sustenance is the driving force for all environment related
activities from UN to country level to NGO's in today's modern
deteriorating world.
Create a sustainable business venture by adding value to waste
by :-
- Setting a rate of increasing block tariff for customers giving
waste. That means, more waste they provide, lesser will be the cost
per unit of waste. This can be differentiated on basis of weight or
volume in 4-5 categories.
- Based on type of waste, viz. e-waste, hazardous chemicals,
non-biodegradable, biodegradable, rates would be different.
- Liason with local government or municipality for approvals of
waste management in long term.
- Create a series of plants for disposal, recycling into new
products to sell and earn revenue.
- From biodegradable wastes, create biogas fuel for commercial
purpose.
