Our Business Plan

A brief overview of our business plan.

Mission; “our mission ie to create a successful e-waste recycling business that helps reduce waste damaging the environment and cleans up the mess we all have helped create.”

“ Our first goal is to establish a small recycling facility where we can store and process e-waste to extract valuable metals such as steel, aluminium and copper. Within 6 years, we aim to have enough recurring material to start operating a larger factory that can handle both metal and plastics recycling.”

I knew from the beginning that to make this work it will take time to get to a shed and plant machinery to do the recycling in bulk, so we are going to have to start small.

Luckily we have a property that we can store and desalinate material and then take some of it to recycling stations to receive money for the basics of steel, aluminium and copper.

To get to a factory we will need to have available 1000 tons of material to put through the plant as this I estimate will be enough to keep a small plant running for about 6 months. Long enough for the business and the public see that the plant is operational and working, so it then builds confidence with people to start bringing there e-waste in for recycling.

I do believe that once people see the plant working at full capacity that over the first 6 months we will get enough recurring material to keep it running.

Now along with the recycling of  metals there is a lot of plastics which there is no one here in Australia actually doing plastics recycling at a large scale and I believe that we will be able to do This as well as the metals.

“ my dad was at the forefront of the plastics industry here in Australia back when I was a child and I was brought up with a reasonable understanding of most of the different hard plastics and there particular requirements for manufacture and how to recycle them, Also as an adult I have spent 40 years in the building industry as a contractor in the steel fabrication industry so I am confident in my ability to successfully operate this business.” 

Our primary target market is big business and government, while also welcoming the general public to contribute to our e-waste recycling efforts..

Funding; “ We are seeking funding in the form of grants and donations to cover the costs of obtaining, transporting, and processing e-waste, as well as paying council and government fees and providing for our staff and machinery.”

CPT Trust Business Plan. 

CPT Trust is a family-run trust focused on the e-waste recycling business. Originally involved in the building industry as steel fabricators, the trust shifted direction in 2019 and set a 12-year plan to establish a successful e-waste recycling business. Based in Brisbane, the e-waste sector in Australia is still in its early stages and presents an opportunity for growth. The trust is directed by Christine Tregenza, managed by Dieter Soegemeier, and includes four members: Christine Tregenza, Dieter Soegemeier, Frank Tregenza, and Timothy Tregenza. The trust aims to become profitable in 10 years and play a role in reducing waste that damages the environment. 

The recycling industry in Australia is growing and presents an opportunity   for CPT Trust to establish itself as a leader in e-waste recycling. 

The lack of competition in the plastic recycling sector provides a unique   opportunity for CPT Trust to differentiate itself and capture market share. 

By focusing on e-waste and targeting big business and government as well  as the general public, CPT Trust can position itself as a responsible and   environmentally conscious recycling company. 

With the right marketing and outreach efforts, CPT Trust has the potential   to become a well-known and respected brand in the Australian recycling   industry.

Our company's products and services focus on the recycling of electronic waste, including both metals and plastics. 

Our services include free pickup of recyclable materials, and we ensure that all materials collected are decimated and not sold on as refurbished equipment. Additionally, we destroy all hard drives and memory devices to protect the privacy of any data they may contain. 

Finally, we sell on all base materials for melting and smelting into new products.

The business is still in the early stages of development and operations are currently limited to material pickup, storage, and basic processing. You currently use hand tools and two trucks to collect and sell recycled materials. As the business grows, you plan to establish a small recycling facility where you can store and process e-waste to extract valuable metals, and eventually operate a larger factory that can handle both metal and plastics recycling.

The financial plan for this business is complex as it involves significant upfront costs in infrastructure. 

During the first 3 to 4 years, the focus will be on purchasing and setting up the necessary equipment to collect, sort, process, and sell various waste materials.

Since the cost of setting up a full-scale recycling factory for metals, glass, and plastics is high, we anticipate that the business will not be cashflow positive for the first 10 years. However, we expect to follow in the footsteps of successful companies like Tesla and begin generating substantial revenue after that period.

However, none of this is possible without adequate funding to start and   sustain the business's growth. We plan to seek funding from a variety of   sources, including grants, loans, and investors, to ensure that we have the   resources we need to establish the infrastructure and keep the business   running.
