Business Independent Study

For my independent study, I chose to try and start a business that focusses on producing eco-conscious products as the sustainable fashion industry is growing quickly with a projected compound annual growth rate of 11.5% between 2020-2025. I decided to name it Reclaimed  which means "to obtain from a waste product or by-product" ("reclaimed," def. N. 3. Merriam-Webster Dictionary , 2023, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/reclaim. Assessed 26 February 2023.) I thought this word represented the idea behind this business as the current plan is to acquire pre-owned/recycled materials and turn them into something new.
