Are you concerned about the enormous amount of plastic littering our oceans and landfills? Would you like to make our planet a healthier and less polluted place? Why not join our team and help launch a revolutionary piece of technology that could have a major global impact in reducing harmful effects to the environment.
PROJECT OUTLINE:
The Problem:
Approximately two-billion disposable plastic inkjet cartridges go into landfill or incineration annually. Depending on the plastic, it can take between 400 – 1,000 years for the cartridge to disintegrate whilst leaking their poisonous contents into the earth. Incineration releases cancer-causing carcinogens and greenhouse gasses. Additionally, cartridges are astronomically expensive!
The Solution:
The Smartridge™ is the world’s first auto-refill permanent electronic inkjet cartridge. Installed in the printer it is NEVER replaced and is refilled in the printer by a wholly automatic recharge unit. Major international corporations have offered to buy the company in order to supress the technology.
Smartridge is a Community Interest Company (not for profit), established to benefit all mankind. We are seeking volunteers to help get this technology to market; by helping in our crowd funding campaigns on Indiegogo and Kickstarter to raise the development capital to bring this award winning technology to market.
We need people with a variety of skills or interests to help:
- Spread the word through social media communication (marketing); Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc
- Embrace the use of crowd speaking, using Thunderclap and Headtalker
- With photography & video editing and production
This opportunity also gives volunteers a degree of flexibility to shape their own duties and input with the project, and Smartridge would welcome contact to this end.
This opportunity would suit somebody with the following skills (or looking to develop):#
- project management skills
- good organisational ability
- undertaking of internet research
- writing press releases
- technology wizards (mechanical, electronics)
