Overview
Mobile for a meal: Can a social cause help increase recycling?
Spyro Kalos, AMTA (MobileMuster)
Details
The MobileMuster program is committed to finding new ways to encourage people to recycle their old mobile phones. They decided to tackle two of Australia’s biggest waste problems e-waste and food waste by partnering with OzHarvest, Australia’s leading food rescue organisation. Through effective collaboration MobileMuster and OzHarvest developed a behaviour change campaign to encourage the community to recycle their old mobile phones and support the work being undertaken by OzHarvest. This presentation will cover the results of the campaign and key lessons learnt. It will look at the role of market research, incentives, stakeholder engagement and social media.
