Government created the shared value ,there is a circle which has been mention in the class is
1.Build supportive industry clusters.
Two Vancouver social services agencies, United We Can and Embers offered the support.,in which Embers provided the manpower necessary to mount the canisters in the Downtown, Robson, Gastown and West End business districts, and United We Can, which works with the poor and unemployed in the inner city, will employ people to empty the canisters on a regular basis and ship the collected butts to TerraCycle’s Canadian depot.
2. Reconceive products and markets.
The company has already proven there is a market for the cellulose acetate contained in cigarette butt filters.The company has collected more than 10,000 pounds of the material and turned it into items such as plastic pallets and plastic lumber. Butts contain highly toxic compounds that can get into groundwater, and are the single biggest source of street litter in the world.
3. Redefine productivity in the value chain.
TerraCycle, which specializes in recycling difficult-to-recycle material, uses proprietary technology to clean and convert the toxic wastes into inert material.
The program includes the social,environmental and economic aspects,which by recycling the cigarette butts to extract the ingredient into other environmental use and avoiding the high toxic pollution.It also creates the strong sustainability in the future ,not only about the environmental problem,but generating more awareness of the danger of smoke.In the news, cigarette butt recycling program will cost taxpayers the grand sum of $110 ,which will reduce the rate of smoking because of the high tax!
