the pitch


Plastic bans are beginning to take effect globally, as plastic pollution is becoming the largest public health threat (Source Source). While plastic packaging is being phased out, the demand for sustainable packaging alternatives is growing. Mediloq offers manufacturers of pharma, supplement, cannabis, and household cleaner brands a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic through reusable child-safe packaging. Our vision is to integrate the company’s existing B2C retail brands with the new B2B sustainable packaging venture under a unified company vision. Our retail brands are targeted towards outdoor gear enthusiasts who value environmental stewardship, so the identity and purpose of both sides of the business will be aligned. Through this raise, we are looking to continue our mission of making a positive environmental impact by developing our B2B sustainable packaging business, while expanding our B2C product line and penetrating new markets.




Mediloq: Reusable, Refillable, Responsible 

Plastic pollution is becoming the largest public health threat, and plastic bans are beginning to take effect globally (Source | Source). Just this year, 200 countries and the state of California have agreed to start phasing out disposable plastic packaging – with few sustainable alternatives available.



That's where Mediloq comes in! Since 2017, we have been selling our patented, ruggedized, sealed, child-safe containers to the outdoor, travel and tactical markets. With disposable plastic containers being phased out, there is a new B2B opportunity to leverage our patented, durable, child-safe design as a sustainable and reusable alternative to disposable plastic containers. We’re looking to scale up and develop next-gen, low-cost reusable designs and reusable packaging model that offers pharma, supplement, cannabis, and household cleaner brands a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic child-safe packaging, and helps them meet their ESG goals.



We are already in discussions with several pharmaceutical companies who realize the benefits of our sustainable packaging model:


  1. Replacing plastic with eco-friendly packaging differentiates them from competitors.
  2. They need to explore alternative packaging strategies as plastics are phased out.
  3. Packaging costs of reusable containers are less than with single-use, throwaway containers.


Because consumers tend to choose convenience over sustainability, manufacturers are confident that governments will continue to encourage change by imposing levies on plastic products, which we believe will tilt the free market in our direction and drive consumers toward our reuse model. Manufacturers recognize that our closed-loop recycling model is a rapid-launch, relatively straightforward, and low-risk packaging alternative as it does not depend on breakthrough material technology or require extensive product testing. Our reuse model is based on the proven, returnable beverage bottle model – a well-understood system that was the standard for packaging before plastic was invented.


Our strategy is to integrate the company's new, B2B sustainable packaging venture with our existing revenue-generating B2C retail brands under a unified company vision. Our retail brands have always been targeted toward outdoor gear enthusiasts who value environmental stewardship, so the identity and purpose of both sides of the business will be aligned.


Through this raise, we are looking to continue our mission of making a positive environmental impact. We aim to achieve this by expanding into the B2B sustainable packaging business, while also using a portion of funds to grow revenue organically – through the expansion of our B2C product line, distribution channels, and penetrating new markets.



The Problem & Our Solution


Mediloq's Reusable Packaging Vision Helps Meet the Rising Demand for Sustainable Options

Approximately, 400 million tons of plastic waste is produced each year, and of that about 36% is used in packaging (Source). 91% of child-safe containers end up in landfills, which amounts to 1.4 billion pounds of waste (Source).


Plastic waste is polluting our water, food, and soil posing a serious public threat – by 2050 it is predicted that plastics will outweigh the fish in our oceans (Source | Source | Source). 


And it's not just a litter problem, plastic is also a significant threat to the Earth's climate, and by 2050, the cumulation of greenhouse gas emissions from plastic could reach over 56 gigatons (Source).


Finally, world leaders are coming together to take action and have begun implementing bans on single-use plastic. The reduction in plastic as a packaging material is inevitable and it's coming, and manufacturers are just starting to plan for the coming supply shortage (Source | Source).



Sustainable packaging alternatives are high in demand, but most companies providing sustainable solutions are focused mainly on food and beverage packaging, which is simple and straightforward.


Conversely, reusable packaging for products requiring child-safe security has unique design challenges, because the child-safe mechanism has to be super-durable and remain child-safe over thousands of reuses, and it should be retested before each refill. Mediloq has a proven, patented solution to this obstacle, and to our knowledge, none of our competitors offer reusable child-safe packaging.


We are looking to expand into this unique B2B opportunity. Our vision is to reintroduce the beverage bottle reuse model, starting with the child-safe packaging niche, and eventually expanding to other types of consumer packaging.


Our B2B customers will be pharma, supplement, cannabis, and household cleaner brands, and child-safe packaging suppliers who are looking for sustainable alternatives to replace plastic.


In order to execute our B2B expansion, here are the steps we plan to take:


"The Highest-Quality Child-Safe Containers on the Planet"


Mediloq's patented, durable, child-safe design was originally developed for our line of high-end, ruggedized, sealed containers being marketed to the outdoor, recreational, and travel markets. Our retail brands are targeted toward customers who value top-quality gear that they can rely on under extreme conditions, and are willing to pay a premium price.


After we heard that customers were finding different applications for our retail products, we decided to develop dedicated brands to target these markets including Canniloq, Corloq, Coffeeloq, and Shotloq – all built around our patented, super-durable, sealed, twist-lock container. We believe, the revenue potential for B2C retail sales is huge and untapped, and we plan to expand the revenue-generating side of our business, including the licensing of patents to other product manufacturers.



In addition to our B2C retail revenue, our B2B initiatives have the potential to bring in three new streams of revenue. 


First, we plan to sell our next-gen, low-cost containers to manufacturers who will fill and refill them through our program. Secondly, manufacturers will pay a small fee for the each container every time it is collected, sanitized, and tested before it is refilled. Finally, we hope to license our patents to child-safe product manufacturers and packaging suppliers for use in their own reusable systems.


The Market & Our Traction


Demand for Sustainable Packaging is On the Rise – Mediloq's Niche is Child-Safe Solutions

Mediloq offers product solutions in markets that are growing rapidly! In 2021, the Sustainable Packaging market was valued at $265.9 Billion and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.10% between 2021 and 2028 (Source). Similarly, the global market for Sustainable Child-Safe Packaging was estimated at $19.3 Billion in 2020 and is estimated to reach $27.1 Billion by 2027, a CAGR of 5%. 


Source


With these growing markets, and the recent initiatives to ban plastics, it's clear to us that timing is our secret sauce. As plastic sourcing dwindles and sustainable alternatives become more of a norm, we believe we will benefit from the inevitable change coming for both consumers and manufacturers.


Our business model is protected by 2 relevant patent filings, and after generating significant e-commerce revenue, we recently signed an agreement with a firm that has a network of 20 sales reps who will sell our Canniloq brand into 2000+ B&M stores across the U.S.


We have also begun taking orders from an international defense products distributor to carry our Corloq tactical, outdoor branded products. They are proposing to submit our product to the DoD's Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support program as a field-grade, child-safe medication holder. 


When it comes to our B2B plans, we are already in discussions with several potential pharmaceutical partners, and hope to have signed agreements within a few weeks. In addition, we’ve already been successful in getting dispensaries to market our first-gen durable child-safe containers as reusable alternatives to disposable plastic. This led us to receive an RFQ from a cannabis edible manufacturer for reusable child-safe containers, which have an estimated annual usage of 700k units a year.    


Why Invest


Mediloq is on a Mission to Make a Positive Impact on our Environment While Disrupting the Market for Sustainable Packaging


We recognize significant ethical and business opportunities here. By leveraging our highly durable child-safe designs, IP, and ready-to-go technology – we believe we can help meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging, reduce global plastic pollution and set a good example for the future of consumer packaging.


Along with keeping up our revenue generating through B2C efforts, this raise will be used to develop next-gen sustainable child-safe packaging, automated wash & test equipment, as well as a kiosk collection system. This new capital will also be used to develop partnerships with customers, build a distribution network, and bolster our patent positions.


The tangible effects of climate change and an environmental crisis are being broadcast daily, and we believe investments in companies like ours give people the opportunity to take action. Join us on our mission, and invest in Mediloq!

Mediloq Update Q2 2024

Dear Friends of Mediloq, 

Here is a quick company update.

We at Mediloq are continuing our mission to offer sustainable alternatives to disposable plastic which is a contributor to the climate crisis.

The effects of climate change are becoming very apparent, and the increase in greenhouse gasses caused by plastic production and waste is being addressed by world governments. 

In 2023, the UN facilitated a plastic treaty between 170 countries agreeing to phase out the use of single-use plastic packaging,

This is the key to our business model – as plastics are phased out as a packaging material, manufacturers will need sustainable alternatives to fill the huge demand, and Mediloq will be positioned as a solution.

We are continuing to use our retail revenue to survive until we can secure additional capital investment for our sustainable packaging venture:

  • We are holding conversations with several candidates who have expressed an interest in joining the company in potential CEO or CMO roles. The strategic visions of these individuals vary: some want to focus on Mediloq’s sustainable packaging model - CaaS (Containers as a Service), others view scaling the existing retail brand verticals as low-hanging fruit. The expectation is that joining the company’s C-Suite will directly lead to additional investment capital.      
  • A few weeks ago we received a notification from the US Naval Research Lab that they wanted to purchase a Canniloq product from an online platform, and requesting that the necessary gov. forms be filled out in order for them to execute the transaction. The assumption is that these products are being evaluated as water-tight medication units or similar.      

Best ways to help:

  • Please do not hesitate to reach out if you can offer help 
  • Warm intros to retail and impact investors
  • C-Suite and other key team members: If you know of any potential parties, we would love to speak with them
  • Intros to supplement, pharma, packaging industry leaders
  • Connections to CBD and outdoor retail channels
  • Advice on growth: We are always looking for tactical advice on growth and partnership recommendations.

Best regards,

Mediloq Founders

We are continuing to use our retail revenue to survive until we can secure additional capital investment for our sustainable packaging venture:

  • Our retail sales are 41% greater than this time last year, which is a result of adding 12 new SKU's to the Canniloq product line
  • With the recent good news on Cannabis Rescheduling, we are focusing effort on positioning the Canniloq brand for potential growth/acquisition
  • Our different retail platforms are being transitioned to Shopify, and we are exploring ways to improve SEO marketing

The effects of climate change are becoming very apparent, and the increase in greenhouse gasses caused by plastic production and waste is starting to be addressed by world governments. 

Two months ago in Paris, the world’s governments agreed to draft a new treaty to control plastics:

 A first-of-its-kind ‘plastic treaty’ could end one of the world’s biggest sources of pollution

 “The UN says it could cut production by a massive 80% by 2040”

This is the key to our business model – as plastics are phased out as a packaging material, manufacturers will need sustainable alternatives to fill the huge demand, and Mediloq will be positioned as a solution.

Fundraising Update:

Reduce Plastics to Fight Climate Change

Hi All,

As we start 2023 with continued severe weather impacting the country, please do your part to fight climate change by making choices that have less harmful effects on the environment and influence positive change.

According to the Center for International Environmental Law, emissions from plastics in 2019 were equal to 198 coal plants, and it's projected that the plastics industry will release up to 1.34 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually by 2030—about equal to the emissions of the entire continent of Africa today.

We at Mediloq are trying to do our part by offering sustainable alternatives to consumer plastic packaging. We know it's a small start, but our plan is to raise social awareness about the problem and solutions, building on the momentum of others committed to making a difference. 

We are asking for concerned citizens to get involved, and ask for your financial investment in our company which will help help to make a positive impact for future generations.  

Best regards,

Dan Estoque

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

StartEngine makes it easy to invest using your retirement funds. You can open a self-directed IRA account through StartEngine. To get started, simply visit our IRA page for more information and step-by-step instructions.

Already have a self-directed IRA with another provider? You can still invest on StartEngine, but please note that the process will be manual and may take longer to complete.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.

StartEngine facilitates three types of primary offerings:

1) Regulation A offerings (JOBS Act Title IV; known as Regulation A+), which are offered to non-accredited and accredited investors alike. These offerings are made through StartEngine Primary, LLC (unless otherwise indicated). 2) Regulation D offerings (Rule 506(c)), which are offered only to accredited investors. These offerings are made through StartEngine Primary, LLC. 3) Regulation Crowdfunding offerings (JOBS Act Title III), which are offered to non-accredited and accredited investors alike. These offerings are made through StartEngine Capital, LLC. Some of these offerings are open to the general public, however there are important differences and risks.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment. See additional general disclosures here.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

StartEngine does not (1) make any recommendations or otherwise advise on the merits or advisability of a particular investment or transaction, (2) assist in the determination of the fair value of any security or investment, or (3) provide legal, tax, or transactional advisory services.
