Model Sites

Model Sites offer "proof of concept" for Single Use Solutions' Closed Loop System.

MODEL SITE 1

Over ten years ago, our company became the exclusive supplier of bottled water at the Longworth Cafeteria in Washington DC, as part of Speaker Pelosi’s “Green the Capital Initiative”. One of our Model Sites will once again be placed in Washington DC under the supervision of our long-time associate, Mr. Brian Funk. He will administer our “closed-loop” program in connection with both industrial composters and our Bottle Model Digester, to manage “end-of-life” for both food scraps and water bottles. He will also administer our “closed-loop” program in the state capital of Maryland.

MODEL SITE 2

A hotel in the South USA will be replacing their petroleum water bottles that are placed in every room with SUS bottles. A 3X5” card placed underneath each bottle will provide each guest with the information about how the bottle will be added to the Bottle Model Digester in the hotel restaurant and ground up to be added to the food scraps from that restaurant. In this case, the effluent will be drained into a tank outside the building to be utilized as irrigation for the hotel grounds.

MODEL SITE 3

Plans are underway to bring bioplastics to the National Training Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico. More details will come later.

MODEL SITE 4

Sports venues are perfect “closed-loop”sites. Our partner in Spain is going to demonstrate how to replace petroleum water bottles with Single Use Solutions PLA bottles while adding value to them. His company will oversea the collection of 90% of the empties from the stadiums, and grind them to forward them to a close-by chemical converter to make more PLA bottles.

Washington State University, and Dr Jan Boll have been SUS partners in several research and development activities. It is only fitting that this leading University in matters of the environment, further join with SUS in the demonstration of the efficacy of plant-based PLA water bottles.

MODEL SITE 6

Merry World in Sri Lanka will utilize SUS preforms, caps, and labels to make their bottles and distribute them to school children throughout the country. These “carry-home” bottles will become the carriers of water from their home to school---making sure that the same high quality of water is provided to each child. These personal items will also become the focal point of the students learning about bioplastics by utilizing the digital messaging that will be provided along with the bottles via Learning Activities Packages provided by the project. This exciting “education model” makes the five years of planning worthwhile.

MODEL SITE 7

Smorgasburg was an early market trial for our PLA water bottles. The .75 product delivered to New York City converted successfully into a $3.00 product in the “closed-loop” outdoor food venues. Beyond the financial viability of the project, the compostable bottles were a “big hit” with the over 20,000 visitors to the events each weekend. SUS went back to the drawing board, however, to scale up its production capacity and supply chain for resin, to make sure that there will be no interruptions in the supply of PLA water bottles in the future……and the future is now. Due to the seasonality of the venue, we have chosen to utilize their Los Angeles venue for starters this year.

MODEL SITE 8

Most “sporting events” lend themselves to an excellent venue for plant bottles. Food is usually associated with sports, so a model sight for ski resorts will not surprise anyone. So long as there are bottle receptacles placed in strategic locations where it is easy to deposit them—both at the top of the slope and the bottom of the slope----there need not be a single bottle to be seen on the slopes. Starting in Utah, there will be a lot more sites just like this one.

MODEL SITE 9

The UAE with high environmental goals will be undertaking several demonstration sites to show how Single Use Solutions products can help them achieve some of their environmental objectives. This is a case where “world-class” experts who have distinguished themselves in pilot projects in this country already, will be managing this effort. As in every model site, this location was chosen because of the strong leadership “on the ground” to offer assistance and support to the model site----Ms. Preeti Bishett.

MODEL SITE 10

The continent of Africa has taken some aggressive environmental steps over the last several years. We have been working with a company in the southern part of Africa since 2014 to create a model site in a capital city of one of those nations. An industrial composting operation, along with our Bottle Model Digesters, will be provided to demonstrate how to “leap forward” to a zero-waste city in the decade ahead. Single Use Solutions will soon have a “working laboratory” for other countries to emulate.

MODEL SITE 11

Single Use Solutions has been working for a number of years with TLT Enterprises, a “world-class” bottler who has already blown Single Use Solutions preforms and are fully prepared to bottle for the ASEAN nations nearby who are eager to implement compostable water bottles to replace petroleum water bottles in their closed-loop venues.

MODEL SITE 12

Since 2018, Single Use Solutions has had the benefit of working with Gerco Leeflang, in Amsterdam. His representation in Europe has been of great assistance in keeping Single Use Solutions aware of the exciting developments taking place in Europe. He has identified co-packers and customers over Single Use Solutions' two year planning period, and will be implementing “closed-loop” projects with the plant bottles and the BMDs in model sites throughout multiple countries in Europe. He has chosen Kerhea, a leading bioplastics company in France who already utilizes “closed-loop” collections, to be the first in France to implement the Single Use Solutions program.
