A Roadmap to Zero Waste begins with Sangrove. Sangrove is a new B2B2C platform for consumer goods industries, specializing in volume made-to-order pre-sell, leading to sustainable consumption and substantial environmental impact. As a new proprietary platform, we connect brands with sustainability-conscious and fashion-forward buyers/consumers, and collectively green-light manufacturing of new products while eliminating excess design concepts. We specifically address the main pains of design-driven industries, that produce consumer goods with the short life span, eliminating speculative overproduction, excess inventory, and dead stock for brands and retailers alike, leading to cost savings and higher profits across platform participants. The Brand (or Retailer) will benefit with optimized stock planning, increasing profit margins while coming up with a great marketing story. Our process and technology involve sustainability-conscious and fashion-forward buyers/consumers in the selection process by means of a limited-time mass digital pre-sell. Sangrove’s blockchain-based smart contract technology aggregates small orders into bulk in real-time, while bringing all participants into a legally binding Supplier & Collective Buyers' Agreement. Another aspect of our technology (now in development) is tracking/measuring/communicating impact created by cutting excess design concepts, thus preventing overproduction. In light of the new upcoming legislation in US and EU, we are in the best position to offer a concrete solution as a new process and immutable transparent records via our patent-pending blockchain-based technology. AS A BRAND: - Determine beforehand which designs are more likely to become bestsellers - Increase your margins by focusing production on popular products only - Achieve true sustainability while tackling overproduction AS AN END-CONSUMER: - Participate in design selection/ordering before production - Become Impact Shopper - Define Fashion
