In collaboration with J. Walter Thompson Brazil and [WWF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-plant)-Brazil, Unilever Brazil gave out cell phone credits and bonuses in exchange for the used shampoo bottles. The old bottles contributed to the efforts of WWF and the interactive initiative was devised by JWT. This advertising campaign not only provided an excellent opportunity to engage with their target eco-conscious consumers, it also allowed them to make a positive environmental impact. The recycling station will be in effect for the month of October at Republica station and will provide credits for carriers including Vivo, TIM, OI and Claro. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Recycling Incentive Programs:** Creating recycling programs that offer rewards can encourage consumers to participate and promote sustainability. - **Brand Collaboration for Social Impact:** Partnering with non-profit organizations or other brands can create impactful campaigns and reach a wider audience. - **Interactive Advertising Initiatives:** Using interactive elements in advertising campaigns can increase consumer engagement and create memorable experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Goods:** Consumer goods companies can implement recycling incentive programs to encourage sustainability and differentiate their brands. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Advertising agencies can collaborate with brands and non-profit organizations to create socially impactful campaigns and increase brand awareness. - **Telecommunications:** Telecom companies can participate in recycling campaigns by offering phone credits or bonuses as incentives, promoting environmental responsibility among their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eco-Friendly Dissolving Shampoo Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dissolving-bottles.md) - [Bottle-Shaped Shampoo Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dissolving-bottle.md) - [Sustainable Inclusive Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natura-without-labels.md) - [Recycling-Focused Travel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-and-merlin-entertainments.md) - [AR-Powered Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapchat-and-loreal.md) - [Interactive E-Waste Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cash-for-trash.md) - [Rewarding Milk Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-bottle-recycling.md) - [Recycled Plastic Bottle Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toss-in-take-out.md) - [Global Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-refill-day.md)
