Question 1
The creation of Tetra Park into a recycling chain played a significant role in enhancing and motivating recycling companies in China to grow. Tetra pack has been essential in promoting and creating a recycling chain system, thereby, increasing the Chinese recycling rate from almost 0% in 2014 to about 28% in 2015 (Zawadiak, Wojciechowski, Piotrowski & Krypa, 2017). It has undertaken the process of recycling through four main approaches, which include: scanning the recycling market, creating awareness, creation, and securing of the recycling capacity (Abreu, 2007). In this regard, Tetra Park has done a lot in promoting recycling companies to increase their growth.
Although Tetra Park has played a significant role, it could still undertake several initiatives/ approaches to help motivate the growth of recycling companies even further. One of the ways Tetra Park can promote recycling firms to grow is enhancing and encouraging environmental conservation. Notably, Tetra Park should support all its recycling partners to integrate more environmental approaches in their day to day activities. This will result in the recycling companies growing as they will incur fewer costs related to dealing with a steady supply of products to recycle. Besides, companies that enhance environmental conservation are likely to attract more customers, especially those who like dealing with companies that observe sustainability. More so, Tetra Park should offer food-producing companies with data on the number of their products, which is recycled.
