Positive Change is Serious Business.

Abel & Cole
Proud to Choose Plastic
The brief

Launch Abel & Cole’s refillable milk product in a way that will encourage customers to make the switch.

How we made positive change

We took a stand on the unexpected news that a plastic refillable bottle is more sustainable than a glass one. Our ‘Proud to Choose Plastic’ suite of media materials called for consumers to make the switch and for the wider industry to pay attention to the unlikely packaging hero that has the potential to save the dairy industry more than 300,000 tonnes of carbon a year.
