To achieve this, we need to change behaviours and I’m excited to have TBWA on board to help us shape and deliver this important work,” said Jim Round, CEO of scheme coordinator VicReturn.
“Few brands or organisations have such a direct impact on the environment we live in, so we’re truly honoured to help VicReturn on its mission to increase container recycling rates. Our bespoke agency model has been purpose-built to serve VicReturn’s unique requirements and we can’t wait to get started,” said Kiefer Casamore, general manager, Eleven & Sustain by TBWA.
VicReturn is a not-for-profit entity appointed by the Victorian government as the coordinator for Victoria’s container deposit scheme.
