Beat Traffic Tickets with TicketKick

TicketKick is a revolutionary website, offering a comprehensive ticket-dismissal service offered nowhere else on the web. It all started in 2006, when founder and President Greg Muender received three speeding tickets within three weeks. Greg was determined that there had to be a way to fight his tickets, and began doing some research. His extensive investigation led him to find that the trial by written declaration is the key to getting a traffic ticket dismissed. Using his completely legal approach, he was able to get two out of his three tickets dismissed. From there, Greg shared his knowledge and started to help friends and family fight their traffic tickets. Word spread quickly, and the conception of TicketKick began to materialize in 2008. That same year, Greg launched his first website in order to help hundreds of people per month fight for their rights

Restaurants’ takeout menus made interactive via QR codes

It’s become increasingly common for restaurants to build and offer custom, branded mobile apps that let patrons place orders by phone, but it’s still up to consumers to go to the bother of downloading and installing them. Enter Paperlinks, a Los Angeles firm that has created a service that lets restaurants embed their takeout menus with QR codes for quick and seamless mobile ordering.

Using Paperlinks’ new Order Takeout feature, restaurants can quickly develop mobile-optimized menus which can be accessed by scanning a QR code located on the printed menu, poster, or other restaurant signage. Paperlinks offers a free iPhone app for scanning (an Android version is coming soon), but other QR code scanning services can be used as well. Either way, scanning that code gives customers instant access to the restaurant’s mobile-friendly, interactive menu. From the mobile landing page, which can also be reached via text message, the customer can find daily specials, place orders, request substitutions and pay via Paperlinks’ checkout cart, including tips. Orders are then sent directly to the participating restaurant via email or fax. Paperlinks also offers a variety of customizable features, from designer QR codes to lead-generation tools, that restaurants can incorporate into their menus and other printed items. Business pricing with full analytics begins at USD 24.95 per month.

Now Collect your Waste-Paper

Next time you throw a used paper in the waste basket, think what all you can do with it. Proper recycling of paper can not only help save our fast disappearing greenery, but can also provide a sustainable business opportunity. While, buying and selling of newspapers may not seem like a new concept, grim statistics from the Indian Papers Manufacturer Association show that only 20% of paper in the country is currently being recovered annually. Whereas, in developed countries about 65% of papers are recovered and reused every year.

“In India, the awareness about paper recycling is very bleak. There’s a huge gap between total paper wastage and papers recycled,” says B. Suresh Kumar, founder of Paper Waste, who has taken a unique approach to address the growing concern of paper wastage.

Hyderabad-based Paper Waste sends its pick up vans to offices, hospitals as well as individual homes to collect their used papers and dispatch them to recycling mills. In return it pays the customer by cash, equalling the amount of scrap collected, or gives them stationeries worth the same amount.

All one has to do is make a pick-up request on their website, and Paper Waste sends their cab to collect the papers on a pre-scheduled date.

“As I was always passionate about entrepreneurship, I used to think of doing something different than regular businesses and at the same time wanted to do my bit in restoring our ecosystem,” Kumar, who’s a mechanical engineer working in a MNC, tells your story in an interview.

With more offices in every city and improving literacy rate, the Indian paper industry is estimated to grow at about 8% annually. However, most paper mills in the country today import the scrap paper from outside. Around 17 trees and 1500 litres of oil are used in making just one ton of paper! And if that doesn’t seem so troubling, prepare to shell out more for paper in the coming days as price of coal – one of the key raw material used in paper manufacturing, has risen sharply by 40% in last one year.

Paper Waste is not the only company tapping into the recycling industry. Gurgaon-based Greenobin Pvt Ltd is steadily making its mark in the waste-management ecosystem.

Along with paper collection, these companies also conduct waste audit and waste management session with corporate offices.

“We provide quarterly, half yearly or yearly audit reports to the customers. This way we help our customers get a better understanding on their requirements. Office management can also understand how much paper is wasted on a monthly basis and decide accordingly on corrective actions,” Kumar explains.

Kumar and his company have made a number of successful tie-ups with schools, hospitals and corporate offices to collect their waste papers and are now looking to expand the team.

“We are still is the process of making ourselves heard. We are planning to advertise through radio and hope to attract a bigger customer base,”
