Product/Service Proposal

I. Introduction

Name of Company:
Title of Proposed Product/Service: Recycled Mini-Table Fan

II. Executive Summary

A. Overview

With the rise of global warming and increasing pollution levels, it is

becoming essential to find a viable alternative on recycling plastics. As a
solution, our company proposed an innovative product that can be suitable
for home/portable use.

Our product is a mini-table fan. It is made from plastic bottle, DC

motor, straw, tape, cable tie, and a switch. It has a height of more than
one feet and was tested. It is proven to run for as long as the battery is
functioning since this table fan was run by the use of battery. It took less
time to make this product since it was simple and easy with the use of
empty plastic bottles. We require a 9 or 12 volts DC motor and a power
source such as a battery with at least 9 volts. Straws were used as
holders or stand for the fan and all other materials were affordable.

This recycled mini-table fan made from plastic bottles may not be
the one of the finest but it greatly contributes for the benefit of our
environment. It is for a good cause and can be used in day-to-day lives of
the users. Handy, budget-friendly, efficient and very convenient are the
qualities that makes our proposed product unique and stand out from
other devices.

B. Value Proposition

Plastic waste is one of the most problematic garbage of this

century. We came up with this product for the purpose of minimizing
plastic waste. It constructs a simple circuit using plastic bottles, turning
them into usable and efficient table fans. It will help the world’s problem in
recycling plastic bottles turning them into more useful objects. It can be
used in case of emergencies such as brownout or no other electric fans
are available as long as you have a spare battery. However, it cannot turn
and go sideways from left to right unlike your typical electric fan.
Nevertheless, it is still efficient and can be used to save energy.
