Recycling idea that i want to make into a business.....

[Dupont666]

I have seen a scheme that works well and was wondering how i would go about bring this scheme to the UK... Im not asking someone to do the work for me, but pointers on who to contact with my idea (government, other companies, etc) and how to get the ball rolling as i have no idea on how to start this idea up as a business.

Im a complete new person to this starting a business idea and was hoping you guys could help and give me a kick in the right direction on how to do it.

Im currently contacting the company who makes the device i need and slowly building a business plan to present to someone and think i have covered most of the things from my end and just need to contact someone as to whether the recycling industry can handle the materials i want to recycle. The idea is to make people to want to recycle and i have that sorted in my idea, its just the contacts i need to find to get things rolling.

So how do you guys get the ball rolling on something that is a little bit big for you to implement personally?

I thought the ar5e had fallen out of the recycling industry recently. Most prices are at an all time low and collected materials are even being dumped back into landfill because its too expensive to store them.

I am not knocking your idea, but maybe you need to research it further. Good luck anyway.

Its too expensive to recycle bottles (plastic and glass) and cans? do you have any links on that info in the recycling world?

Try www.wrap.org.uk . It's a government backed organisation which aims to promote recycling. They can provide funding for business start-ups with marketing help and will even fund research and a patent if required. HTH
