Answer 1

Instrumental considerations for a swimwear business crafted from recycled plastic include setting the right price, adhering to the Australian standard for textiles, and using zero waste packaging. These contribute to the financial viability and legal compliance of the product.

Step-by-step explanation:

When assessing the considerations for starting a venture that produces swimwear from recycled plastic, we must identify which are instrumental considerations. Instrumental considerations are those that directly contribute to the functionality and economic viability of the product. Among the options provided:

• Setting a price to cover the recycling and manufacturing process is certainly instrumental, as it ensures the business is viable.
• Ensuring products adhere to the Australian standard for textiles is instrumental because it legally permits the sale of these products, and also affects their marketability due to consumer safety concerns.
• Using zero waste and plastic-free packaging may not be directly instrumental to the product itself, but is instrumental in marketing and aligning the product with the brand values of sustainability.

Other considerations, while important, are not instrumental. Producing a wide range of sizes and recruiting influencers are more about marketing and market reach rather than the core production and economic sustainability of the business.
