Introduction:
We live in a technologically advanced world. One downside to all this advancement is the amount
of waste generated. Recycling generates a host of financial, environmental, and social returns.
Some of these benefits accrue locally as well as globally. It turns materials that would otherwise
become waste into valuable resources.
The estimated power consumption in the UAE for 2010 was 1221 Terawatt Hours (TWh). An
increase in regional generation to 1,463 TWh by 2014 is forecasted, representing a rise of 19.8%
between 2010 and the end of the period. Looking at those figures, we can predict the rising trends
in the use of white goods.
The UAE currently suffers from the lack of energy conservation owing to fast-rising populations,
and rapid economic growth. High consumption per head is encouraged by heavily subsidized
prices and the resulting lack of an energy-saving culture. Strict UN Laws coupled with the
countrys desire to become eco efficient, makes recycling and recovery of white goods a very
lucrative avenue as a business venture. We plan to take advantage of this by tapping the market at
an early stage before other companies start investing. The supply is endless because technology
keeps advancing, and old stuff keeps getting thrown out. Its saddening to see all that potentiallying there wasted, when it could easily be taken apart, recycled and made into new products. We
offer a reliable and quality service so that people can get this thing off their head and let us do the
job. Most of the goods about to be thrown can be recovered and repaired at a minor cost. What
discourages people is the time required to search for and find someone to repair them at low
prices. We can offer them repair services at low prices and an unbeatable quality standard when
compared to other small repair shops.
The amount of Raw material required for the production of white goods is limited. These
resources are depleting day by day, and its our duty to recycle white goods and recover some if
not most of those resources. The recent floods in Thailand and the earthquake in Japan have had a
negative impact on the supply of rare earth metals. Natural disasters cant be avoided, so its our
duty to conserve as much as we can.

Then there is the huge issue of improper disposal of electronic waste. There are strict guidelines
on the safe and proper disposal of electronic waste. These guidelines are hardly followed as
people just throw their stuff out after which it goes to landfills, staying there indefinitely and
causing a lot of harm to the environment. They do this without knowing the implications and the
detrimental effects on the environment. For example refrigerators have to be drained of Freon
properly with industrial grade equipment. Releasing ozone depleting compounds has to be
handled by a certified technician. People dont have the time or the resources to do this. This is
where we come in. We provide for them a way to get their electronic waste out of their hands, and
have it disposed of and recycled properly.
What we plan on offering in terms of environmental & financial conservation hasnt been taken up
by anyone else in this region, so we could essentially end up making a lot of money. Since the
market is un- tapped as of now, we have a very good chance to make it big in this region.
Government support is guaranteed due to the Eco friendly and economic nature of this business.
We can help improve the countrys image as well as get it a good reputation in the United Nations
for its green initiatives. The general public is waking up to the new found green movement.
Frankly put, White goods recycling is the future. The positive aspects of this business are too good
to avoid. Tapping into this market at an early stage is of paramount importance, to ensure that we
have a monopoly in the UAE. The white goods market is going to skyrocket over the next 10-20
years. Eventually, the amount of goods thrown out is also going to go up. What people need right
now is a good brand that they can trust for recycling their stuff in a proper standardized way. This
is where we come in. We provide them with that experience. We ensure that they are not
disappointed and that they get their share in conserving and protecting the environment.

Competitors:
Recycling of White goods hasnt really taken off in the UAE. As of now there are no companies
dealing with white goods recycling. Thus, we have the distinct advantage of being the first
company to enter this market in the UAE. We could essentially become a monopoly in this country.
However we shouldnt disregard the possibility that other enterprising individuals might take up
this idea in the near future. We cannot dismiss the idea of competitors. In the event that we do
have a competitor, it would be detrimental for our business due to limited supply of white goods,
owing to the size of the country.
However, we do have some minor competition in the repair aspect of our business. Small
maintenance and repair shops, offer the same services that we do albeit at a slightly higher price.
To counter this we have to rely on our ability to do the repairs at a smaller cost as well as our
quality of service. We essentially offer a branded & customized experience. We deal with
customers on a personal level to achieve better customer satisfaction. We have a brand image
advantage over these smaller repair shops. We also offer Door-to-Door collection services for free,
which takes the headache and tension off the people who want to dispose of their Fridges or
microwaves. Our only other competitors are the companies that deal in these White goods and
offer recycling schemes. This is however not cost effective for them and we hope that they might
discontinue it in the light of the better and more robust solutions offered by our company.
Following is a table comparing us to our potential competitors:

The Recycling Process:
The recycled output of white goods like Refrigerators, Microwaves, and Washing machines is mainly metal.
The metal obtained is segregated into main categories; Ferrous & non-Ferrous. The Non-Ferrous metals
can be further divided into Copper, Brass & Aluminum. The recycling plant used here comes as a whole kit
including:
Conveyor Belt. Freon/Oil Suction Unit. Shredder. Magnetic Separator (For Ferrous parts). Eddy Current Separator (For Non-Ferrous parts).
The process goes on as follows. The White goods are bought to the Manual Dismantling Area with the help
of forklifts. All the manual disassembling is carried out here by the unskilled workers. For refrigerators, the
draining of ozone depleting gases like Freon is carried out by a certified technician. The dismantled pieces
are then put onto the conveyor belt after a final checking by the supervisor to confirm that no harmful
substances make it to the shredder. The conveyor belt carries the components to the shredder, where they
are shredded into tiny pieces. These tiny pieces are then carried to the magnetic separator, where the
ferrous bits are separated out and collected in a standard 1 ton container. The non-ferrous chips are then
carried forward to the Eddy current separator. The Eddy current separator filters out various metals at
different speeds. All of them are collected in standard 1 ton containers. The leftover plastic chips are also
-

collected. These containers are then transferred to their specific trucks with the help of forklifts. They stay
there till there is enough metal collected, after which they are transported to the respective clients.
Licensing & Property Setup:
Our company is based in Ajman, due to cheaper Property costs. Also, Ajman has a central location, when we
consider the fact that our services extend from Abu Dhabi to Ras Al-Khaimah. The accommodation & costs
of living are very cheap in Ajman when compared with the other emirates.

ROI = 46.84%
As per the ROI and all other calculations, we can conclude that the scrap metal business
specifically the recycling and recovery of white good is practical and yields pleasing profits. From
year one to five we start of our business in Ajman and Dubai only. Then, using our market strength
and strong marketing team we reach out to the other emirates, eventually covering the whole of
the UAE by year 7. This gradually increases our input thus increases our profits also; over a period
of 10 years we make admirable profit and more if allowed to continue.
Safety Regulations:
We here at the company consider employee safety in the very highest regard. We have
implemented several safety regulations that ensure minimum risk to the employee on duty, and to
minimize any possible long term health risks posed by the type of work.
We have arranged possible health hazards in the categories:
-
8/3/2019 Business Awareness Report
10/21
During transport and collection of goods. During processing of goods. Un-avoidable circumstance.
Transport & Collection of White Goods:
The main hazards during the transport and collection of goods may be the cause possible injury
during the lifting of heavy materials. Incorrect lifting of heavy weights can result in serious injury,
both in the long term and the short. Following are some ways we tackle the issue:
1) Encourage workers to complain when load is too heavy.2) Have several workers accompany the pick-up trucks3) Have the collection crew where translucent jacket for night collections.
During Processing of Goods:
White goods recycling and processing involves working with a lot of tools and coming in contact
with many hazardous substances.
Below is a list of a few.
Mercury: found in fluorescent tubes (numerous applications), tilt switches (mechanicaldoorbells, thermostats), and flat screen monitors. Health effects include sensory
impairment, dermatitis, memory loss, and muscle weakness.
Sulphur: found in lead-acid batteries. Health effects include liver damage, kidney damage,heart damage, eye and throat irritation.
BFRs: Used as flame retardants in plastics in most electronics. Health effects includeimpaired development of the nervous system, thyroid problems, and liver problems.
Cadmium: Found in light-sensitive resistors, corrosion-resistant alloys for marine andaviation environments, and nickel-cadmium batteries. The most common form of cadmium

is found in Nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries. The inhalation of cadmium can cause
severe damage to the lungs and is also known to cause kidney damage.[39]
Lead: solder, CRT monitor glass, lead-acid batteries, some formulations of PVC.[40]A typical15-inch cathode ray tube may contain 1.5 pounds of lead
Beryllium oxide: filler in some thermal interface materials such as thermal grease usedon heat sinks for CPUs and power transistors.
The following are some ways our company uses to reduce the hazards regarding recycling and
processing:
1) Using proper safety equipment while handling electric waste: Industrial grade gloves Industrial shockproof boots Gas Masks during the de-gassing of fridges Helmets to avoid injury from falling objects
2) Making sure employees are maintaining proper posture during work so as to avoidmuscular/skeletal injuries.
3) Following the safety instruction of the machinery
Unavoidable Circumstances:
Sometimes accidents are unavoidable and you only can reduce the risk of a hazard to some extent.
There is also the chance of an employee falling ill during work due to several reasons:
1) Overheating and exhaustion: May occur due to workers working in close contact with themachinery. Employees are allowed to work in shifts and are encouraged to report any
issues.
2) Machinery: Accidents can happen involving faulty machinery and hence our companyensures they are always in the best of order and are regularly maintained.
3) Fire/Emergency: Sometimes, accidents are unavoidable and during such events, we mustbe prepared. We have installed a fire safety system in case of a fire and emergency contacts
are always at hand.

Sustainability:
If a product or material is environmentally, economically and socially sustainable the
product can be called sustainable. By recycling white goods we conserve embodied energy andwater making a contribution to the environmental sustainability. By recovery of a white good it
is made economically sustainable. Recovery and Recycling of White goods provide Jobs to the
less educated people to earn their living making a significant contribution to Social
Sustainability. These aspects have become known as the Three Pillars of Sustainability.
Environmental Sustainability:
When recycled, white goods are either manually dismantled or mechanically shredded.
Component materials are recovered and separated by material type transformed into new
materials. These recycled materials are then sold to secondary markets to be used for a variety of
manufacturing processes. No one wants to live next door to a landfill; Recycling conserves existing
landfill space, limiting the need for additional landfills.
According to the study, recycling initiatives in 2002 caused a reduction in net emission of 256,736
tonnes eCO2 and saved 4,137,260 GJ of energy. This is equivalent to about 256,736 two-storey
houses full of GHG (Green House Gas) emissions, and avoiding the need for 636,501 barrels of
crude oil worth about $39,463,091. Recycling uses fewer natural and virgin resources. It reduces
waste and in turn, reduces litter.
Economic Sustainability:
White goods recycling make a major contribution to the economy and a healthy manufacturing
sector is vital to a sustainable economy, our project is economically viable and profitable.
Companies rely on recycling programs to provide the raw materials they need to make new
products. Recycling and buying recycled products encourages manufacturers to produce more

recycled content products, decreasing waste, lowering our dependence on imported materials and
creating a more sustainable economy.
Recycling White goods help in:
Saving Energy Conserving Landfill Space Preventing Global Warming Reducing Water Pollution Protecting Wildlife Preserving the Future.
All the factors make White goods Recovery and Recycling Economic Sustainable.
Social Sustainability:
The final pillar of sustainability, White goods are also socially sustainable;
Our company will create jobs in the market at a time when it is seriously required. Our industry has a superb industry health and safety where people can save their
money by recovering their white goods with our company instead of buying a new
product.
Recycling is estimated to create nearly five times as many jobs as land filling. One studyreported that 103,000 jobs or 2.7 percent of all manufacturing jobs are attributed to
recycling. The jobs created by recycling businesses draw from the full spectrum of the
labor market (ranging from low- and semi-skilled jobs to highly skilled jobs). Materials
sorters, dispatchers, truck drivers, brokers, sales representatives, process engineers,and chemists are just some of the jobs needed in the recycling industry. Recycling is
actively contributing to UAEs economic vitality.

Ethics:
Starting off our company brings forward some ethical concerns, which must be handled to
protect the integrity of our company. Such concerns include anything from a small incident
involving an employee, to a larger issue such as fraud or illicit activities by the company itself. Our
company must prove itself to be reliable and maintain a professional reputation. To achieve this,
certain steps are taken by us, which include:
When dealing with suppliers, we must ensure we do not associate ourselves with thewrong sort of businesses. This can include companies which use child labor, underpay their
staff, or ignore basic health and safety measures to ensure their employees well being.
Before creating any business tie-ups, we conduct a scrupulous background check of the
potential partner.
Our company puts our employees through a training course as well as educates them aboutour code of conduct. Prior to this we also conduct background checks on employees,
looking for any past offenses and criminal records. Besides that however, we will not be
bias or discriminate towards anyone when it comes to hiring.
Treating our employees well and ensuring their satisfaction is also important. A team isonly as strong as its weakest member, and ensuring everyone is happy will in turn help our
business flourish. This can be achieved by providing incentives like allowances,commission, etc.
Since we are a recycling company, dealing with waste comes into play quite often. Dealingwith this waste ethically is important, even if it means extra cost. This would mean using
manual labor to separate the waste (such as plastic and other materials we dont deal with)
and either selling it off or disposing of it correctly.
A separate office will be created, to deal with feedback from our employees as well as anycomplaints, etc. This would prevent any displeasure in the workplace before they occur, as
well as facilitate a healthy working environment.
Being ethical can be beneficial for our company in many ways. Doing so not only saves us from any
future predicaments, but also sustains our relationships with our clients. The most important
-
8/3/2019 Business Awareness Report
15/21
product can be said to be the image we send out to our competitors as well as our customers. If we
can earn a reputation for being honorable and respectable, it would encourage our clients to keep
coming back, keep our employees happy, as well as reduce our competition and encourage new
customers to come our way. The cost of being ethical is by far outweighed by the benefits we reap
and hence going out of our way to implement it is worth the effort.
Risks:
Besides the physical risks involved with starting a company, many aspects that could possibly
harm our business also arise. These risks vary from their probability to severity, but nevertheless
must be tackled or at least acknowledged before/once we start our company. In no particular
order these include the following:
Once every few months, our machines have to be serviced. At this point of time, dependingon the time it takes to properly service it, it wont be possible to work with these machines
at this time, so that means that no separation of metals will happen and so lesser product is
made.
When dealing with fixing of white goods, there is always the off chance that a technicianmakes an error or mistake, or something goes wrong. This could mean we would have to
pay for the mistake, literally in terms of money and metaphorically in terms of loosing
valued customers.
There is the possibility of us not being able to collect enough white goods to recycle. Thiswould mean idle workers being paid, unused machinery gathering dust and no product
produced.
While selling our product, the risk of competition is always present, so marketing ourproduct well is important.
These risks are all generalized, mostly being minor but some having the potential to be
devastating. Steps can be taken to prevent them, though most are too unpredictable and random
to do so.

Law:
In the U.A.E. there are certain rules and regulations which must be met before and while
running a business. First off, our company has to be properly licensed, by getting permission from
the ministry of finance and the Ajman Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
By Federal Law No.13 of 1988 and Federal Law No.8 of 1984, it is conditional that nationalsmust own shares of at least 51% of a company, while we may retain the remaining 49%.
We must also consider zoning. Since we are an industrial company, we must be law only setup our business in an industrial site.
Lastly, we may at some point in the near future have tie-ups with other companies. At thispoint of time they may have access to private information, and so we have to consider
having them sign non-disclosure agreements as a general precaution.
Marketing:
Aim:
The overall aim of our company is to provide a better future for the future generation.
To help the consumer live in a better environment.
So as to achieve this we are using different means of marketing such as social marketing, internet,
etc we hope to reach out to the different segments of consumers. Once we reach the level of
popularity our business will flourish through word of mouth.
Target Market:
Our company is divided into 2 sections:
1. Recycling2. Recovery
-
8/3/2019 Business Awareness Report
17/21
Recycling:
In the recycling processes of white goods, such as refrigerators, microwaves, basic household
items, we break them down into simpler components, these materials are recovered and
separated by material type and recycled into finished items such as Aluminum, steel, iron, plastic
etc. These items are supplied to various factories within UAE that use them in the manufacture of
their goods.
Recovery:
White goods after a period of time will face technical problems and would definitely need repair.
This is when we come into role play.
Consumers with household appliances such as refrigerators, oven, microwaves, etc are our main
target customers.
Marketing Plan:
Some of the major factors that must be considered while developing a marketing plan are supply,
demand, and quality, sustainability, handling costs, transportation costs and general economy.
The 7 Ps of the marketing plan are:
1) Product2) Price3) Place4) Promotion5) People6) Processes7) Physical environment.
Product:
Under the recycling segment, the company is focusing on white goods. White goods are a
term used to refer to large household appliances and generally includes: refrigerators, freezers,
-
8/3/2019 Business Awareness Report
18/21
ranges, dishwashers, washing machines. Etc. The single largest material component of white
goods is steel. They also contain other ferrous and non ferrous metals. The items are extracted
from the appliances converted into a solid product form so that they can be sold in the market.
In the recycling/repairing segment, we again focus on white goods that are mentioned above.
Under extreme conditions if the goods arent repairable we take them in for recycling, giving thecustomer 6% of the current value of the goods.
Pricing:
Repair/Recovery:
In General the Testing /repair of white goods are 25AED per unit. But they would be Additional
fee for spare units.
In case of Freon removal from the compression units the charge would b 95AED per unit.
Also if the costumers want our service from door to door then there would be transportation
charges, 30 AED per trip.
Recycling:
After recycling the white goods the final products are to be sold to the various factories,
companies that require these metals to manufacture their product. These products have fixed
quantity and amount as mentioned above.
Place:
Place means where the business will be located. The location of the business is very important for
manufacturers. Location our business is located in Ajman
The land rates are comparably cheaper. The place is located near to the scrap yards. Also it is also equally distanced from
most of the emirates which will benefit us in the transportation field.

Promotion:
Recycling of white Goods is almost new in UAE therefore various kinds of promotion
methods have to b involved so that our business can flourish.
Community mobilizationIt simply means to create awareness. As recycling of white goods an almost new to
the crowd in UAE we would need make sure that majority of the people are made
aware of the fact that white goods can be recycled. Holding seminars, workshops,
meetings, etc would help to send a direct message to the target group. But such
methods can also b expensive and participants might not be of large number.
AdvertisingThis is the most common way to spread the name of the business. The ways we are
planning to reach out to our customers are by Advertising in the press, radio, and
television. Also, Online marketing via a dedicated website or search engine adds.
Sales promotionWord of mouth is one form of publicity. We have salesman who would go door to
door spreading the various needs for recycling and also how it would benefit them.
Also spreading the news in schools, colleges, workplaces, etc.
People:
In our company we need both skilled and unskilled laborers
Skilled supervisors, accountants, technicians, PRO officers, drivers, forklift drivers, receptionists.
Unskilled cleaners, collectors, guards, etc.
Processes:
By processes we mean the process of collection and distribution of items.We have vehicles that are special built for the transportation of white goods.
Our major collection areas will b the scrap yards and also from private houses.
If the customer needs transportation service we will charge the customer with a minimal
transportation fee.

Human Resources Management:
The main strength of any company is its workforce. The same applies to our company as well.
Providing a good Salary package is essential in ensuring that operations run smoothly. Since we
deal in recycling of White goods, the potential hazards of dealing with hazardous materials
shouldnt be taken lightly. To avoid unwanted mishaps, we have put forward a set of safety
guidelines that must be strictly enforced.
The following table outlines the salary details of people we are employing:
