Germany-based ALBA Group, the world's leading recycling and environmental services company, sees huge potential in China, the world's fastest-growing economy, given the increasing production of and demand for electronic appliances.

So much so Axel Schweitzer, chief executive officer of ALBA Group, moved his office from the company's headquarters in Berlin to Hong Kong last year. "China will become the biggest market for environmental solutions because of the legal framework it has established," he said.

"People in China are increasingly concerned about the environment and China can do better than other countries on this."
