Step aside Flybuys! Introducing The Renewables, a crazy good team ready to tackle plastic waste and consumption in their community head-on.
This team plans to revolutionise how we shop by introducing an app and rewards system centred around reducing single-use plastic consumption. Functioning similarly to Woolworth’s ‘Rewards’ system, consumers will earn points based on the sustainable packaging included in their shop, leading to exclusive specials and discounts. The less single-use plastic in your trolley, the more rewards you earn!
To get things started, Charritha, Shriani, Cassie, and Asha aim to collaborate with a local shopping centre in Shepparton. Their initial approach involves introducing a paper loyalty card, which shoppers will get stamped when making plastic-free purchases. Upon completing the card, shoppers will unlock a special reward as an incentive for their eco-friendly choices. To rally the community behind their cause, the team plans to hang informative posters at the shopping centre, enlightening consumers about the myriad benefits of ditching single-use plastic.
