Hair Recycling Technologies’ (HRT) area of business will be to: collect, sanitize, and market human hair to be used as a consumer good. The home gardener will enjoy hair’s many elements and strong scent. Our products for recycled hair will be beneficial to them.
The product’s ability encourage healthy plant growth and repel unwanted pests will bring benefits to the customer. Hair Recycling Technologies is initially going to manufacture three products: SMARTSOIL, HAREAWAY pest deterrent, as well as an organic plant food that’s specifically made for rose bushes.
Hair Recycling Technologies is entering the niche market. Human hair has never been sold in this way before. This business is unique and viable and will reach a high-growth market. Because of these factors, the venture is highly innovative and has high potential.
One of its most appealing aspects is that investors will be repaid within one year. The company also will have a positive cash position. The business is expected to break-even in month nine of the first year.
Our in-depth research pertaining to human hair’s positive elemental characteristics and its many potential uses is well advanced. Even though this research will be an ongoing process for the company, initial results have been shown to be positive.
The Horticulture Department at the University of Georgia has shown interest in this concept and HRT plans to work with the department to research and test the use of human hair as a plant growth promoter. Our product was also highly sought after by South Bend nurseries.
1.1 Keys for Success
For businesses that own barber shops or beauty salons, hair clippings have been an inconvenient waste problem. Human hair is commonly disposed at large volumes in municipal landfills, especially in cities that have a lot of waste. Over the past decade, recycling municipal solid refuse has seen an increase in both composting and recycling due to federal and State mandates. In 1997, there were over 9,000 curbside recycling programs and 12,000 drop-off centres for recyclable material in America. The EPA has set a target to recycle 35 per cent by 2005. However, the daily per capita solid waste generation is still at 4.3 pounds per individual per day. This allows you to recycle landfill-bound waste, and gives you the opportunity to give your hair the many benefits it can offer.
Our research has shown us that clippings of hair from humans have a very high nutrient-value and, when used with potting soil will make a higher quality fertilizer and plant food than what is currently available.
Human hair, along with silk, wool, and other organic material, has a high amount of nitrogen. Nitrogen encourages tissue development. An enormous amount of nitrogen can be recovered if the sweepings from a barbershop were used regularly to make compost heaps. Six to seven pounds of human hair contain approximately one pound of nitrogen, as much as found in 100 to 200 pounds of manure. Hair can also be disintegrated as quickly as feathers as long as it is stored in a well-moistened compost pile.
William Stafford, Austin Texas, has conducted experiments on 32 varieties of roses. These results show that human hair placed around the roots produces taller stems, bigger buds, and deeper tones. Stafford tested hair at the roots of roses and discovered that it could accelerate their growth. However, it did so slowly as it took the hair many months to die. Stafford created a plant recipe that HRT can reproduce from his experiments. Stafford’s rose recipe is not subject to patents.
