This business idea has been thought and launched by myself in 2013\u00a0right after my graduation (Master Class degree in civil engineering).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on several studies, less than 10% of the Chadian populations are connected to the local electricity system because either there houses are not covered by the national energy network or they do not have financial capability to request this connection. For those who have access to this service, the cost of kWh is high (0.20\u20ac) preventing them from the usage of air conditioner. Whereas everyone knows that in this country it\u2019s very hot (>45C sometimes) during some periods of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the other hands, wastes management is one of the biggest challenges that is facing Chad Government (16 tons of papers\/day and 3300 tons of cotton fibers residues\/year not being used).<\/span><\/p>\n

In Chad, most of the buildings\/houses are not insulated, leading to either high heat transfer resulting in an increase of the energy consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your products and services:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0In the light of all the issues above, BioPanneaux is created to become an effective and sustainable solution: Manufacturing thermal insulations coating using cotton and papers\/cartons wastes, water and lime.<\/span><\/p>\n

A sorted mixture of wastes of cotton and carton\/papers is kneaded with water and lime. We obtain a kind of paste that is dried using sun. The dry final product obtained after drying is packaged in 8kg cartons for sale. The customer will mix this dry coating with water according to dosages and prescription of BioPanneaux and then use it on the interior walls and ceilings of his building, thus ensuring an exceptional thermal and aesthetic comfort in the house.<\/span><\/p>\n

This concept will help saving energy bill through a minimum power consumption and will lead to the environment protection (limitation of CO2 emission).<\/span><\/p>\n

The project will also generate additional incomes to the poor and vulnerable people through wastes collection and sorting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your success factors: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

– Effective raw materials supply chain; – Knowledgeable and motivated team; – A coherent marketing strategy in line with the idea of the project<\/span><\/p>\n

Your factors differentiating and disruptive compared to the existing:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our competitive advantages are basically driven by the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

– Quality of the product (proven by lab of Saint-Etienne in France and ongoing discussions with University of Nantes for additional tests)<\/span><\/p>\n

– Product cheaper than those offered by the competitors (3\u20ac vs 9\u20ac)<\/span><\/p>\n

– Easy access because locally built<\/span><\/p>\n

– Easy to use because it does not require much expertise at all<\/span><\/p>\n

– Generation of additional incomes to poor people through wastes collect and sorting (+23K\u20ac\/year)<\/span><\/p>\n

– Contribution to sanitation conditions improvement and environment preservation – Local job creation.<\/span><\/p>\n
