After much product development, trial an error, testing and retesting, market research and some hardcore head-scratching the final plan of action for the implementation of the pilot program seems foolproof and ready to go.
Since the suppliers for the unwoven polyester could not be reliably traced we seem poised to scrap that variation of the material over concerns that it might not be of food grade material quality. We also believe that while the bag shall be re-used replacing plastic with plastic is not necessarily a good thing. We are set to go all out natural fiber which is an excellent option since such material is biodegradable, resource efficient and ecologically sound. The kora cloth we are using for the bags is lightweight , durable, soft, easily compressed, unbleached and completely food grade. It also provides that indispensable natural touch which resonates well with the environmental purpose the bags serve.
After troubleshooting and testing numerous designs ranging from square puches to pencil pouches to box bags to bags big enough to carry home your Toyota Innova in, we have arrived upon a final standardized design which will combine strength, durability, cost efficiency and aesthetics.
POA
1. Material testing: to certify that all materials we use are absolutely food grade, non toxic and safe. [samples have been sent to the lab for testing]
2. Final product bulk pricing
3. Final product design [ kora cloth bags in medium and small. with Velcro rounded pouches and wrap around straps for additional strength]
4. Field Research into the Krishnagiri Self Help Group (including pictures which we shall put up)
5. Final printing specifications - bulk pricing
6. Report to spar
7. Investment from spar to spearhead the production initiative
8. start product delivery - strict quality control.
9. store graphics to display and advertise the product
10. publicity campaign; radio, newspaper etc.
