Here's how the Lean Canvas can be incorporated into the presentation script to
align with the PowerPoint content:
Script for 5-Person Presentation: Eco-Tiles from Styrofoam & Crushed Shells
[Presenter 1 – Introduction]
Presenter 1 (P1):
Good [morning/afternoon], esteemed panel. Today, we are excited to present our product—Eco-
Tiles, made from repurposed Styrofoam and crushed shells. These eco-friendly tiles aim to
tackle two major environmental concerns: the growing waste problem of Styrofoam and the
disposal of seashells from seafood processing. Let’s dive into the details of our solution using a
Lean Canvas model.
[Presenter 2 – Problem Statement]
Presenter 2 (P2):
The world faces a growing waste crisis. Excessive Styrofoam waste in landfills and oceans
contributes significantly to pollution, while discarded shells from seafood industries go
underutilized, adding to waste buildup. Additionally, traditional tiles, like ceramic and concrete,
are heavy, costly, and resource-intensive—creating a demand for a better, more sustainable
alternative.
[Presenter 3 – Existing Alternatives]
Presenter 3 (P3):
Currently, we rely on ceramic tiles that are expensive and have an energy-intensive production
process. Concrete-based tiles are heavy, contribute significantly to the carbon footprint, and are
not eco-friendly. Even recycled plastic tiles exist, but they lack the natural, aesthetically
appealing qualities that our tiles offer. This is where our solution comes in.
[Presenter 4 – The Solution]
Presenter 4 (P4):
We’ve developed Eco-Tiles, made by recycling Styrofoam and crushing seashells into durable,
sustainable tiles. These tiles have water-resistant and insulating properties thanks to
Styrofoam, while the crushed shells provide an elegant, terrazzo-like aesthetic. They are
lightweight, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly, offering an alternative to traditional
heavy, expensive tiles.
[Presenter 5 – Unique Value Proposition & High-Level Concept]
Presenter 5 (P5):
Our unique value proposition lies in turning waste materials into high-quality building
products. 🌱 Eco-Friendly & Sustainable: We repurpose waste to create something useful.
Lightweight Yet Durable: The tiles are easy to install and reduce structural load. 💧 Water &
Fire Resistant: Perfect for various applications. 🎨 Aesthetic Appeal: They have a beautiful,
natural look that stands out.
Our high-level concept is simple: “Turning waste into beauty – sustainable, durable, and
stylish tiles made from recycled Styrofoam and seashells.”
[Presenter 1 – Unfair Advantage & Revenue Streams]
Presenter 1 (P1):
Our unfair advantage lies in our patented eco-friendly composite formula and exclusive
partnerships with the seafood and recycling industries for sourcing raw materials. This gives
us a significant edge in both product quality and supply chain efficiency. For revenue, we plan
on direct sales to homeowners and contractors, B2B partnerships with construction firms,
licensing the manufacturing process, and tapping into government & NGO contracts for
green building projects.
[Presenter 2 – Cost Structure & Channels]
Presenter 2 (P2):
Our cost structure includes sourcing and processing raw materials, manufacturing (molds,
labor), research for testing and product development, and marketing & distribution efforts. In
terms of channels, we’ll utilize online platforms for direct sales, collaborate with hardware
stores, partner with architects and designers, and target eco-conscious real estate firms for
widespread adoption.
[Presenter 3 – Customer Segments & Early Adopters]
Presenter 3 (P3):
We are targeting homeowners and DIY builders who prioritize sustainable materials.
Additionally, contractors, architects, and real estate developers are crucial segments,
especially those focusing on green construction and eco-friendly housing. Our early adopters
will be eco-conscious consumers, green architects, and firms aiming for LEED certification.
[Presenter 4 – Closing and Transition to Q&A]
Presenter 4 (P4):
We believe Eco-Tiles represent a revolutionary step in both waste management and
construction materials, offering a scalable and sustainable solution for the modern world.
With that, we’re ready to answer any questions you may have about the product or our business
model.
Panel Questions and Assigned Answers
[Panel Question 1: What inspired this product idea?]
Presenter 2 (P2):
The inspiration came from the urgent need to solve the growing waste problems of Styrofoam
and seashells. By transforming these discarded materials into something valuable, we can both
help the environment and meet the demand for sustainable construction materials.
[Panel Question 2: How does your product address environmental concerns?]
Presenter 3 (P3):
Our product reduces non-biodegradable Styrofoam waste, prevents seashells from ending up
in landfills, and provides a low-carbon alternative to traditional tile production. The process
itself uses fewer resources and energy compared to conventional ceramic or concrete tiles.
[Panel Question 3: What challenges did you encounter during development?]
Presenter 4 (P4):
One challenge was balancing durability with lightweight properties to ensure the tiles would
be both functional and easy to install. We also had to ensure that the dissolution process for
Styrofoam was safe and that the tiles met strength and heat-resistance standards.
[Panel Question 4: How does your product compare in terms of cost and performance to
traditional tiles?]
Presenter 5 (P5):
Our Eco-Tiles are 20-30% cheaper than ceramic or concrete tiles due to the use of recycled
materials. They are lightweight, water-resistant, and durable, but require additional heat-
resistant coatings for high-heat applications.
[Panel Question 5: What are your plans for scaling this business?]
Presenter 2 (P2):
We plan to partner with recycling centers for material sourcing, and we aim to scale production
with automated molding and curing systems. Additionally, we will seek partnerships with
architects, designers, and construction firms to expand our market reach.
[Panel Question 6: Why should investors support your product?]
Presenter 3 (P3):
Our product addresses an urgent environmental issue while providing a cost-effective and
scalable solution for the construction industry. With the growing demand for sustainable
building materials, we believe the product has strong market potential and aligns with eco-
conscious investors.
[Presenter 1 – Closing]
Presenter 1 (P1):
Thank you once again for your time and consideration. We believe our Eco-Tiles represent an
important step toward a more sustainable future, and we look forward to working with you to
make this vision a reality.
This format should now effectively combine the Lean Canvas details with the presentation
script, providing a comprehensive flow for the pitch. Would you like any adjustments? 😊
