Company Description
Company Ownership
The legal name of the company will be Clevax Recycling, LLC. Clevax Recycling will be formed as a Limited Liability Company in Ukraine. Due to its tax benefits, a LLC will be advantageous.
Clevax Recycling is owned by its founder and president, American scientist Oliver Pyne. Mr. Pyne will be an active participant in management decisions.
Company Locations and Facilities
Additionally, Clevax Recycling's business location is located in a federally designated "historically underutilized business zone" or HUBZone. As discussed under the Competitive Comparison section below, this designation gives us certain advantages in selling to the government. As the business expands to additional counties in subsequent years, we will need to lease property on which to site our facilities.

Products and Services
Our products and services offer needed solutions to municipalities and the market for organic soil enhancement products. Clevax Recycling will be the market leader as the first company in the region to collect, compost, and recycle human waste sludge for use as a fertilizer and a soil enhancer. Clevax Recycling realizes that consumers today are more conscious of recycling and of their environment. Because of this trend, there is a growing trend among consumers to move away from traditional chemical based fertilizers more natural organic materials.
We will offer one major service and major product. Our major service will be to offer municipalities an alternative means for disposing of human waste sludges generated in waste treatment plants. Our major product will be recycled (composted) human waste sludge for use as a fertilizer.

Market Information
There are customers at both ends of our supply chain that will benefit from our services and products. Municipalities will benefit from our service by having an alternative means of waste disposal. Other potential customers who will benefit from our compost product include turf farms, fertilizer manufacturers, nurseries, landscapers, golf courses, homeowners, and even the federal government for use in highway construction reseeding. Therefore, we have two basic market segments; those waste treatment facilities which will benefit from our services and consumers who will benefit from our product.
Five major market segments for compost have been identified:
Agriculture (for food and nonfood crops and sod farms).
Landscapers (for industrial and commercial properties; golf courses, cemeteries, and athletic fields; landfill covers; and damaged soils).
Nurseries (for plant and forest seedling crops and reforestation projects).
Public agencies (for highway median strips, parks, recreational areas, and other public property).
Residents (for home landscaping and gardening).

Marketing Plan
To target our customers, we examined the market trends. Mid-Atlantic Recycling's products target buyers of organic fertilizers and soil enhancers. This market has grown significantly in recent years and we expect to capture a quarter of this multi billion-dollar market.
Clevax's products will help fill the growing need for organic fertilizers, and soil amendments, while helping to solve the problem of dwindling landfill space.
The marketing strategy is the core of the main strategy:
Emphasize high value, high quality products and services.
Build a relationship oriented business.
Focus on municipalities, fertilizer manufacturers, landscapers, nurseries, and the federal government as key initial markets.

Operations
Composting is biological decomposition of organic materials. Bacteria, fungi, protozoans, insects, worms and other organisms typically play a part in the decomposition process. Clevax Recycling's process will greatly speed up the natural composting process.
Advantages of this recycling/composting method are as follows:
Recycling is completed rapidly in three days. Other methods take 90 plus days.
Waste materials in the unit are isolated from the environment.
The manager has precise control of moisture, temperature, and aeration during the process to ensure the most efficient composting possible.
In-vessel composting can maintain a rapid decomposition process year-round regardless of external ambient conditions. The material can be used for improvement of organic matter content and fertility of soil.
