Flipside helps people go green

seriously green how we’ve helped councils to go green

Landfill. A word that makes

everyone, but particularly Councils, shudder with apprehension. Landfill has, in every sense of the word, become the issue that won’t go away. Which is why local authorities have to use increasingly creative strategies to encourage people to reduce the amount of waste they’re creating. Luckily at Flipside we have a proven track record in doing just this...

reducing recyling

There are a lot of issues surrounding recycling. However, one of the largest is ignorance. People just don’t know what they can do to reduce the waste they are creating.

So, in conjunction with West Sussex County Council, we created a booklet designed to show them not only what they could do – but how easy it was. In fact, so successful was this booklet that it won an award from WRAP. To promote this booklet we created posters, bus sides, press and radio ads.

THE HOUSEHOLD CLEANER YOU SHOULD BE USING Discarded food. Grass cuttings. Rubbish.

This little beauty tackles them all.

Simply reach for our new booklet and your home will never be the same again. Packed full with handy hints and offers it shows you just how easy it is to deal with rubbish responsibly.

To find out more call 01243 777 572 and ask for your free copy of ‘for better tomorrows’ or visit bettertomorrows.org.uk It could be the one household cleaner that makes a real difference.

nappies Babies do three things. They eat, they sleep and well, they create a lot of full nappies. An issue which was quickly becoming a big problem for West Sussex County Council. So how do you get people to cutback on the number of nappies they use? First off – you look at the issues realistically. Parents were never going to stop using disposable nappies in favour of cotton ones overnight. Disposable are far too easy to use and cotton ones are labour intensive.

Our strategy was to encourage Mums and Dads to use cotton ones whenever they could (we even gave them vouchers off their first cotton nappies).

At the same time were making them aware of the real landfill crisis that was facing West Sussex and that they could soon be knee deep in the problem. This ‘push’ ‘pull’ approach worked to great effect.

We rolled the creative out through posters, press ads, radio ads and we created an WRAP award winning booklet to support the campaign.

composting Composting had been getting bad press. But this simple, yet highly visual campaign, not only showed you the positive effects of composting – a greener countryside. But it was also supported by an amazing offer of a FREE food waste digester. This campaign used press, poster and radio to get effect and take-up was exceptionally high.
