The Resource Recovery Industry reaching new Hights

Xeon International through it’s alternative energy fund ENERCAP is actively looking at WEE very closely.
WEEE or Electronic waste or e-waste or e-scrap, describes loosely discarded, surplus,obsolete or broken electrical or electronic devices.
It is considered to be the fastest growing waste stream in terms of volume in the world (2-3 times faster than another waste stream).

The WEEE recovery industry is a relatively new industry which is still in the early growth stage of its life cycle. The industry emerged together with the soaring commodities prices and the tightening of the regulatory environment around the WEEE. The global economic slowdown affected the WEEE recovery industry as much as the prices of raw materials went on a steady decline, but the same trend followed the prices of the WEEE itself.
The sector recovered and is back on the growth track.

The global WEEE recovery industry generated EUR 7.5 billion by 2012. The revenue is expected to increase up to EUR 14 billion by 2017, representing a CAGR of 13.3%. The global volume of WEEE generated is expected to be more than 100 million tonnes by 2017 compared to 42 million tonnes in 2011.

“The WEEE recovery industry is expected to enjoy fast growth in short- to midterm both on a global scale and in the EU.”

EU WEEE Recovery Industry
According to the European Commission estimates, the WEEE generated in the Union will surge from about 9 million tonnes in 2005 to more than 12 million tonnes by 2020. The expectations are that there will be just a bit less than 1 million tonnes of WEEE in Germany by 2020.
The WEEE recovery industry in the EU generated EUR 1.16 billion by end of 2012. The sector is expected to grow at the healthy 4.7% (CAGR) over the period of 2012-2017 and thus the turnover to reach EUR 14 billion by 2017.
The Scandinavian countries are the leaders in terms of WEEE recycling and reusing.
Sweden managed to recycle and reuse 14.4 kg. per capita of WEEE in 2010. Germany held the sixth position with 7.9 kg per capita, well above the existing binding target of 4 kg. per capita.

“E-waste represents one of the fastest growing sectors by volume within the global waste industry,and that combined with incoming legislative targets the market looks very
promising for the coming years with opportunities across the value chain.”

EBIT boost by 24% through organic growth value creation

Xeon International’s “Organic Growth” division has developed double digit growth of EBIT performance at client’s side within 14 months of intervention

The aim was to enhance the EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) through a program of 2 major improvements: “Portfolio optimization” and “Adapted segmentation strategy in accordance with market requirements”.

While growing companies always estimate that growth is simply mathematically obtained by adding more products, Xeon International challenged that assumption and increased client’s sales with less products.

Many CEOs forget that the erosion of profits is very much caused by a poorly managed product portfolio. “It is again and again amazing to see how some products are literally eating the margins of other profitable products while no one is really paying attention to it. Managing portfolios of 4000 SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) and more is not a part time job!” stated Yves Duponselle, CEO of Xeon International. He added “It is always amazing to see how products evolve in a company, sometimes even exactly on the opposite of market requirements”. This mistake is generally caused by organizational inefficiencies while many companies also identify market research as a brake to enhance “time to market”. It is also generally wrongly assumed that the cost of launching a new product is much cheaper than the process of asking the future client whether the product has a compelling reason to buy.

Xeon International is a value creation company that runs International Sales & Marketing for its clients. The company offers a comprehensive range of “Organic Growth” services developed to increase sales on the short and long term.

Xeon International also acts as an outsourced partner for leading companies to open and activate distribution channels across major markets.

Foreseen growth for mobile banking

Xeon International anticipates strong market demand of mobile banking

The globalization of the world economy is leading to higher mobility and the usage of mobile services is essential for many people. There is more than 100% penetration rate for the mobile phones in the developed countries and in 2008 it is estimated that there are about 40 million mobile banking services users, mainly in Europe and in the USA.

According to our research, by 2010 the number of Mobile banking services users will increase substantially. Mobile devices are becoming more powerful and easier to use and banks need to be innovative to compete for new clients and to retain their existing customers.

This is why Xeon International is anticipating the market demand and is introducing a mobile banking application which allows customers to access their accounts and operate transactions the way they have used to do it on their computers. The undeniable advantage of this innovation is the “anytime, anywhere” access to banking services. Today’s customers want to organize banking transactions while on the move, irrespective of opening hours.

Financial service providers have so much reduced the value proposition of their services over the last years that consumers avoid to use non-digital touch points. This leads to an acceleration of mobile banking applications demand, comment analysts of Xeon International.
