CycleBeads Procurement & Production Guide

The purpose of this toolkit is to provide programs with guidelines for establishing a supply of CycleBeads in their country or region. The information in this toolkit will help program managers estimate demand and the cost of different supply methods. While most programs will find it easiest and most cost effective to purchase fully assembled CycleBeads from the manufacturer, Cycle Technologies, Inc., some programs may have reasons for interest in local printing of informational materials. Some programs may even consider local assembly or manufacturing of CycleBeads. This document has been broken down into chapters for easier downloading and viewing.
