Patent-pending Next Generation of Leaf Cutting Technology

An especially time-efficient method of leaf management through the next generation of leaf cutting and leaf management technology available for licensing or acquisition.      

Collection and disposal times can be cut by up to 75%.   The reduced volume is also easier on landfills, when the cut leaves are disposed of in that fashion.

• The next generation technology reduces leaf cutting  noise levels addressing local noise-related bans against leaf blowers, particularly gas-powered ones used in residential neighborhoods. This new technology is  approximately 30 times quieter than a current standalone leaf shredder.
• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently introduced exhaust emissions standards that will start to take effect in 2011 and 2012 for small spark-ignition engines such as those used in lawn and garden equipment.
• The leaf management technology also addresses state and local level to bans of yard waste disposal at landfills  and supports the option of individual or community composting.

Desired Commercialization Relationship

The owner of the technology is seeking one or more partners who can help to bring this technology to relevant vertical markets in both the U.S. and abroad.  The partner or partners will have capabilities in areas including product development, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sales and administration, and will have or be able to obtain sufficient capital to support a timely and meaningful rollout of products using the technology.

Our client is open to a variety of options for structuring consideration for the use or purchase of the technology.  The client is a going research and development concern and funds development projects out of cash flow from its intellectual property portfolio.
