Hello, my name's Andy Harsley from a company called Rapstrap
I'm looking for a hundred and fifty thousand pounds in-exchange for fifteen percent
of my company
Everybody's familiar with these the nylon cable tie. You put one end through the other
And pull it tight....but
Most of it is wasted
Estimates vary but we are using roughly as many of these as we are carrier bags
So that's an awful lot of plastic going into landfill every year completely
unnecessarily
As a response I've developed this..... The Rapstrap
It's a soft flexible state-of-the-art fastener
It does exactly the same job you put one end through the other..... Pull it tight
Cut the end off
But now that you can use that bit again...
...and again
The Rapstrap gives you three maybe four in some cases even five and at the same price that's
not just saving you waste it's also saving you money
So far I've produced all of these myself using second-hand equipment I bought
off the internet and homemade molds
Quite a lot of markets have taken-an-interest in my handiwork but the main targets
initially have been horticulture and cabling
The product is patented widely it's been granted in China and South Africa.
It's pending in another nine countries around the world plus Europe.
The U.K. market is estimated to be worth about fifty million pounds a year
One percent of that would see us break-even and go profitable.
One percent of the global market would turn-us-into a multi-million pound venture. Thank-you.
