In some environments, it is very difficult to dispose of used products
Explain what special types of disposal problems are created by densely populated areas and what type of business could be created in Manhattan, New York or Hong Kong that would take advantage of this difficulty.
In heavily populated areas more people live in high-rise housing with little storage area. At the same time, the public officials typically are stricter in policing the disposal of used products on the streets. The business would emphasize the post-purchase process heavily in such an environment. This would be especially true for any product that is large and bulky or very heavy.
Consider mattresses as an example. A business that promises to deliver and remove mattresses would be very attractive under these conditions. Customers would be likely to pass up less expensive providers if they did not remove old mattresses.
