Earn an additional $50,000, $10,000, $1000, or $100 on top of the normal 10c refund.
Pepsi, with Special Australia, today unveiled ‘The Recycling Rethink’, a campaign to incentivise the recycling of bottles and cans.
From now until November 22, anyone who recycles a Pepsi container at any Return and Earn machine in NSW will have the opportunity to earn an additional $50,000, $10,000, $1000, or $100 on top of the normal 10c refund.
“The Recycling Rethink started with a simple enough question: If you could earn more for recycling a Pepsi, wouldn’t you recycle Pepsi more?” says Alastair Flack & Mark Starmach, from Special Australia.
“Typically, the data recognised by this barcode scanner is only used to validate an eligible container.
“But now, whenever an eligible Pepsi barcode is detected, it will also automatically trigger the printing of a special voucher at the end of the recycler’s session, in addition to the normal 10c refund voucher. When the unique QR code on it is scanned, it’ll instantly say if they’ve earned anything extra.”
Susan Press, marketing director beverages at PepsiCo ANZ, said the initiative is all about making recycling more enjoyable and rewarding for Australians.
"By doing so, we aim to reduce waste and boost the supply of recycled plastic,” she said.
The initiative is supported by environmentally-friendly bill posters, social, online video.
