To: Jim Bishop who wrote (75569 ) 12/28/2000 12:47:16 AM From: Jim Bishop Respond to of 150070 ENVK forgot to add a couple of things, first and not so important, FWIW I have no position at this time, in fact never heard of them until today.. Second, from their site, hypish, but sounds great.ENVIROKARE will, instead release to market a pallet with approximately eighty percent recycled thermoplastic content. The pallet will be manufactured using a NEW MANUFACTURING PROCESS called, THERMOPLASTIC FLOW FORMING or TPF, the TPF process is a proprietary process which enables the manufacturer to create large structural parts using thermoplastic resins. The process is capable of using recycled or virgin resins and is designed to reuse it’s own waste, thereby producing no waste by products. The ENVIROKARE “E” Pallet will be the first product, which ENVIROKARE will release to market. Through a Joint Venture Agreement with Thermoplastic Composite Designs, Inc. the inventors of the TPF Process, ENVIROKARE will be able to expand the scope of the company’s marketing focus to a much wider range of industries, than originally anticipated. In addition to pallets ENVIROKARE will be able to manufacture large structural parts for industries such as: Aerospace, Automotive, Construction, Marine, Material Handling, Medical, Military, Transportation and Waste Management. In particular the construction and automotive industries have significant potential. However any one of these industries has the ability to generate enough business to require multiple facilities to keep up with market demand for lighter and stronger parts. It has only been in recent years that thermoplastic composites have been recognized as commercially viable substitutes for thermoset composites, wood, aluminum, steel and other metal alloys. The recent, introduction of long strand reinforcing fiber(s) has dramatically increased the mechanical and physical properties of thermoplastic composites. However until now, the use of such composite materials has been the venue of the military and aerospace industries, due to the inordinate cost of hand application. The TPF Process will give ENVIROKARE the ability to produce large structural parts at a fraction of the current costs. Providing, Envirokare with an unfair advantage over other manufacturers, through mechanical reproduction of large structural parts ENVIROKARE will significantly reduce labor costs and dramatically reduce the time it takes to produce a part. The ability to reuse waste generated from the manufacturing process will further reduce the cost of manufacturing. In recent months ENVIROKARE has recognized the contribution that the internet may play in contributing to an environmentally responsible future. Through the creation of a wireless Internet hub for the shipment of products, Envirokare would be able to reduce the number of half empty commercial transport vehicles, which travel the nation’s highways. With the introduction of an independent dispatch board and on line auction, trucker’s would be able to maximize their productivity picking up and delivering loads between point “A & B”. Thus reducing the amount of vehicle emissions created from having half-empty trucks on the road.
