Chewing Gum
Introduction Chewing gum is
over 5000 years used
Original gum is natural materials from plant
Gum based replaced by butadiene-based synthetic rubber
Introduction Benefit about using
chewing gum Dental Health Weight Management Concentrate longer
Singapore ban in 1992
Swallowed gum messes the ground
Detrimental effects on the environment

Data about the Chewing Gum impact in the world
Hong Kong import about 7,000 ton per year Manufacturing about 120,000 ton,
Consuming about 100,000 ton per year Additional waste after chewing
Define the problems Swallowed gum Detrimental effects o
n the environment Packing issues
Desiccant Silica Gel
Many manufacturing processes
Gum base cannot remanufacturing
Impact Assessment Matrix
Define the main problems for improving direction Replace the basic materials
Replace the gum base by other materials
Improve the packing & distribution No need the Silica Gel Reduce and replace the packing materials Improve the supply chain to minimize the environmental
impact
Use & end of product life No need to swallow the gum Minimize the landfill volume No additional waste be used
The traditional chewing gum made

Feasibility study – New base
Our product comes from real academic result
Its feasibility has been proved
The formula and manufacturing process have been outlined specifically
Large experimental data demonstrates that the target product has the very similar taste with the real Chewing Gum

satisfaction. Based on curve, in the first 150 seconds, the property of our gum is closed to that of Chewing Gum, which means, our gum have the same taste with the actual gum.
3. Even better!In terms of health and influence to environment

Spit Out or Swallow Down ?
Before reducing the gum disposal and protecting the environment in deed, people must manage the gum addicts to change their habits of Chewing-&-Spitting.
The best way to change is to make the change take place spontaneously.From the Gum Volume Variation Illustration curve, the Volume of the new Gum remains stable, after which there is a sudden shrink spontaneously all the way down to zero by 150s
as a result, the gum residue dissolves totally in a short period and consumer would swallow it with saliva even without realizing that!
Suitable location in Hong Kong Conditions to setup the factory to

environmental impact Near Suppliers (Sugar) Near the distribution centre (Wellcome, Park’n
