The
whole concept of Bottle Craft revolves around three
key objectives, all of which address a burning need
in South African Society:
1.
Small Business Opportunity:
The Bottle Cutting Kit is central to a low budget, high
return 'garage' business opportunity for which there
is a ready market both locally and internationally.
The Kit enables you to produce quality artistic products
at low cost from freely available raw materials. The
range of products you create is only limited by your
imagination!
2. Community Upliftment:
The Bottle Craft Concept has the potential to empower
unemployed communities in many ways: Start a self-liquidating
craft centre; employ informal groups to source the glass
raw material; set up manufacturing cell groups; establish
craft training centres; get local business involved;
generate school funds through recycling and reselling
etc.
3.
Environmental Proactivity:
Glass bottles are responsible for a large percentage
of critical urban pollution. The collection and innovative
recycling of discarded bottles, returning them to society
in a useful form, indicates a responsible and worldly
society. Many different environmental activities can
be generated from this modest but effective industry:
Establish glass recycling centres; get school children
involved in environmental responsibility; motivate practical
education on the effects of pollution; create social
awareness etc.
