Currently sleeves are being made out of a variety of sustainable materials such as felt, fabric,
silicone and yarn and the companies producing these
sleeves are also using recycled paper to manufacture their
products still causing them to be discarded into landfills after a
single use.

It is a unique innovative approach to an existing market which has not been exposed to its full potential.

We estimate that Double-E will require $150,000 dollars to start our business. We plan to acquire the necessary
capitol by each of the four partners contributing $25,000. That will give us $100,000 and we will secure a 7(a) loan
guaranteed by the Small Business Administration for another $70,000. This money will be used during startup to pay for a proper facility, operating expenses, materials
and other startup related expenses.
