More and more people who care not only for the product but the

Wastage Is Not Primarily Created
Because Of Over-Consumption
It is created because of over-production and inefficient use of what is produced. Throwing things away
instead of recycling or on-selling is one of the major causes of environmental waste across the globe.
Ormita allows businesses to recover the cost, and to make a profit, on their previously surplus or over-
stocked items whilst maintaining the integrity of both the environment and their own balance sheets.
Time and excess capacity are another priceless non-recoverable, non-recyclable limited commodity. Selling
or donating under-utilized time and capacity means greater wealth for the buyer and the local community.
By using information technology to represent and communicate the use of fair and environmentally friendly
practices, consumers can be better informed of the value of your products and services while learning of the
possible cost of buying other products.
Some other features unique to the Ormita product
• Offers the ability for your company to reduce its waste footprint
• Provides a more efficient way to use and dispose of assets while retaining their value
• Both unsold products and services can be on-sold without loosing their value
• Cost to acquire preferred / environmentally sustainable products is reduced
• Greater purchasing power = more flexibility to acquire environmentally sustainable products
• Less travel and transport required when dealing with local markets
• Allows the cost of best practices to better sell the higher quality of your products by representing your
value chain accurately
Local asset protection
Economies of scale, transfer pricing, and capitalising on cheap Third World labour or raw materials enables
larger multinational and interstate manufacturers and retailers to tip the so-called “level playing field” in
their direction, to the detriment of local businesses. Ormita is a solution to these issues:
• As stocks of unused goods become mobilized, people become employed, and those traditionally
at the “bottom” of the economy like home-makers, farmers and unskilled labourers find a place in
the economy, and through it, in society
• Ormita provides an opportunity for local enterprises to sell their products and for communities to
reduce the need for imports
• Community relations and standards of living improve
• Increased local trade helps to ensure that more local assets stay within the community
• Ormita provides access to services and solutions for representing your value chain

4. Think Green. Grow Green.
Building Community Networks
Because Ormita plugs its members into a local information network, it provides new or isolated residents
living in a local community with an instantaneous community support system of other entrepreneurs and
consumers.
Local Welfare
Community wealth is not related to the amount of cash in a community, but the amount of assets, capacity
and skills. Ormita offers a way to mobilise and transfer assets in times when cash is difficult to come by yet
allows for pricing integrity to stay the same.
• Ormita promotes local entrepreneurship
• Addresses the need of fair trade between cash poor / cashless groups (school age, elderly, infirmed etc)
• Creates loyalty and long-term relationships between participants
• Maximises the visibility of local value throughout the corresponding value chain
Greening Your Business With Ormita

unwanted stock ormita can help you sell them off-market and in a manner which will improve
your bottom line.
Recovering full value for your surplus assets
• You receive full market value for your idle capacity or excess assets. Turn your excess capacity and/or
surplus stock into tax credits, employee incentives, investment funds or simply use them to offset
your existing cash costs.

• As a member of a closed business network you are able to strengthen your ties to local small
business networks cottage industry clusters whilst attracting new customers.

Greening Our Supply Chain
Ormita understands that being green is a commitment not only to others but is an indicator of good
leadership and responsibility. Through product and business practice innovation we have a unique
opportunity to influence, and perhaps even assure, a new age of information exchange through

best practices which include supply chain audits, managerial training for suppliers’ staff and workshops

resource extraction to final product consumption.

and newspaper ads, web based linked product and service representation. We also endeavour to
promote dialogue on environmental topics with local communities by sponsoring various events aimed
at changing the way we perceive and utilize assets and materials which would otherwise be disposed of.
