About this project

Coca-Cola is a multinational beverage corporation, known for its flagship carbonated soft drink and wide range of non-alcoholic beverages. With operations in over 200 countries, it's one of the world's most recognized brands and largest beverage companies, known for its global presence, iconic marketing, and significant economic impact.

"World Without Waste" is Coca-Cola's ambitious global initiative aimed at tackling the issue of packaging waste. The program focuses on making all of the company's packaging 100% recyclable by 2025 and collecting and recycling the equivalent of every bottle or can it sells globally by 2030.

Coca-Cola aimed to educate people on the importance of recycling through a promotional game with a code found in bottle caps, with the campaign site designed to be user-friendly, visually appealing, and fast, integrating seamlessly with existing Coca-Cola services and systems. The campaign site development project was managed by Dentsu Creative, which also created the UX/UI design plans, while WRD Labs developed/implemented them.
