CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / December 15, 2014 / Countries are now paying much closer attention to clean energy technologies and using green tech in several different industries. With huge opportunity to generate profits off of green development, the sustainability market has been picking up a lot of steam over the last few years. The goals of green technology in industry are two fold. One: To minimize the use of hazardous materials, and Two: To increase energy efficiency during the product's lifetime.
To compound this, the global consumer/middle-class is increasing in size at a rapid pace. From 1980 to 2011 this group grew from about 1.1 to 2.0 billion and is expected to increase to 5 billion by 2030 according to Plunkett Research. This rapid expansion will obviously put an amazing amount of pressure on resources of all types, while increased demand will put incredible strain on prices. This, in turn, will make the cost of greener conservation and efficiency technologies very easy to justify. Plunkett also reported that the global investment in clean energy is estimated to be at $254 billion as of 2013's fiscal year. With so much attention focused on alternative methods for lessening the carbon footprint that many industries of scale have created, the green tech space has become ripe with investment potential.
B Green Innovations, Inc. (OTC:BGNN) has announced several new developments with its product portfolio during the month of December. First the company assumed all rights to a novel laundry product called the Sock Pocket and just last week B Green added The Ice Pack Sack to its offering. Management has expressed that these latest moves are to ensure that the company can successfully implement additional revenue streams to its current portfolio of eco friendly products while building shareholder value. Since mid-November BGNN stock price has consolidated from highs of $0.59 to its current price of $0.19.
As the stock price is near its 52-week low, attention has begun to build from the investment community. This small-cap company holds a Market Value of just over $21M and as of the last filing ending September 30, B Green has reported gross margins that are slightly over 60% for the nine-months ending September 30.
Amazonas Florestal Ltd (OTC:AZFL) wholly owned subsidiary, AFL, engages in the wholesale export of tropical hardwood products from Brazil to potential customers in the US and abroad. Amazonas has been pursuing several initiatives for revenue growth, forestry preservation and building shareholder value through their method of cyclical harvesting. During the trading day on Friday, AZFL saw a flurry of buying and a jump in price of 31.25%. In fact, since the beginning of last week, the stock has been up as much as 133% after starting the week at $0.0009 and hitting a high on Friday of $0.0021. As momentum continues to enter the market for Amazonas, more attention has circles the company's latest announcement on the reorganization of its subsidiary with the State of Florida for restructuring the Company's timber operations in Brazil.
Electronic Cigarettes International Group, Ltd. (OTC:ECIG) is not a traditional "green tech" company, however indirectly ECIG is providing an alternative to traditional smoking. This, in turn, can potentially cut down on the number of cigarette butts thrown out of car windows or into garbage bags each day. It is estimated that 1.69 billion pounds of butts wind up as toxic trash each year, creating an enormous environmental, health, and economic burden (according to Americans for Non-Smoker's Rights). Cigarette butts are not biodegradable as some might believe and cigarette butt waste is a huge issue, with a global impact.
The Company is dedicated to providing a compelling alternative relative to traditional cigarettes for the more than 1 billion current smokers around the world. Recently ECIG announced that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with TDR, the leading independent tobacco company in South East Europe. Brent Willis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ECIG stated, "We are very excited about building the electronic cigarette business with [TDR] in a very attractive and high growth region."
As noted above, there are countless ways for organizations to contribute to the green tech space, both directly and indirectly. The green technology industry will become a major influence on corporate developments, as almost everyone seems to recognize the impact that pollution and toxic industry bi-products have had on the environment. It has been considered to be one of the waves of the future by many industry analysts and for the investment community, the true potential has continued to present itself as more organizations have adopted "green" solutions.
