How to earn millions by trash bags



At first glance, carpet samples have nothing to do with global warming, but some feel that it is not. The average for the thirty-carpet sample size 40 by 40 centimeters, which released after one of the architects used 32 liters of oil. The cost of carpets from 500 to 1200 dollars, and their designs can cost up to hundreds of dollars each.

In the city of Dalton (USA) worked giant factories for the production of carpets, which provide 80% of the American market. There is also a young company a staff of 32 people, using innovative technology to replace designs for products from the processed paper. Tricycle (tricycleinc.com) sells technology that creates a paper samples are similar to the original that even experienced designers need much time to notice differences from woven carpets.

"Light industry is the very antithesis of the term" environmental "the past ten years," says Bo Barber (Bo Barber), the founder of the factory for the production of carpets and a customer Tricycle: "Tricycle activity is important for everyone, not only for manufacturers and buyers of carpets. What makes these guys, reduces environmental pollution. "

Tricycle technology used to create computer simulations of carpets, which reproduces in full color, invoice items and even work loom. Using this technology producing a base of hundreds of variations of flowers, fiber types, length and texture nap. Tricycle spent on setting this base more than a million dollars. When a customer wants to see how the carpet will look like rare, a manufacturer of a sample orders and sends his client.

Jonathan Bragdon and Michael Hendricks, the ex-programmers, Tricycle founded in 2002 after the completion of the program design carpets. "We have seen what damage caused production samples" says Hendricks. He believes that technology Tricycle saves up to 70% of the cost of production models, and that about five million dollars.

In 2005, producers have ordered and sent 34 thousand paper samples, saving 39 thousand liters of oil. At this point Tricycle produces only 10% of the samples in the country, but the company has big plans. Tricycle, earning 10 million in 2006, plans in the future to create samples of other products: fabric, wallpaper and even wood. Bragdon said: "I am confident we will soon be able to play any existing surface."
