  • Talk to customers straight from the shelf
  • Prove your recycling, not just promise it

¡GUAU! Una noche para recordar…

El mes pasado nos llevamos a casa dos trofeos en el Premios Nacionales de Reciclaje de MRW, que tuvo lugar en la Honourable Artillery Company de Londres. En primer lugar, nuestra propia y talentosa directora de proyectos, Rosa Knox-Bradley, se ha convertido oficialmente en nuestra «estrella emergente» tras hacerse con el premio Rising Star Award. Con una gran pasión por impulsar un cambio sostenible, Rosa se dedica a transformar radicalmente el futuro del reciclaje del plástico de un solo uso, y no podríamos estar más orgullosos de tenerla en nuestro equipo.

Además, nuestro colaboración con Ocado Retail se alzó con el Premio a la Innovación Digital. El proyecto piloto del primer sistema digital de devolución de envases (DDRS) del mundo, que pusimos en marcha este verano, aportó una trazabilidad y una comodidad sin precedentes tanto a las marcas como a los minoristas y a los consumidores. Aprovechando la escalabilidad de Polytag, el proyecto logró la impresionante cifra de 20 000 recompensas de 20 peniques canjeadas por los clientes de Ocado en tan solo 56 días. Lee más sobre este proyecto pionero aquí.

Es un gran honor haber recibido dos premios en la gala de entrega de premios más prestigiosa del sector del reciclaje y la gestión de recursos. La velada estuvo llena de esperanza para nuestro futuro, ya que numerosos líderes del sector y promotores de cambios positivos se reunieron para celebrar nuestros logros del último año.

Gracias a todos los que habéis apoyado nuestra trayectoria con Polytag hasta ahora. ¡Estamos deseando que llegue el 2024!
