Brief Explanation

Our challenge was to find low-cost and practical ways to upcycle Coke plastic bottles and give them a new lease of life. These repurposed Coke bottles needed to fit with Coke’s brand image and spirit of spreading happiness.

The Brief

As part of its global sustainability program, Coke is looking for more and better solutions to reduce the use of plastic and increase re-use and recycling in Asia.

How the final design was conceived

We created 16 caps designs that would transform the used Coke bottles into water squirters, paintbrushes, bubble-blowers, pencil sharpeners, rattles, whistles, night-lights, dumbbells, soap dispensers, soy-sauce bottles, ketchup bottles, salt and pepper shakers and even plant water-sprays. These caps were to be given away with product purchase.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

In our test market study, the people that came across this activity were delighted at how this extended the life of a Coke bottle imaginatively. Amidst the fun, there was always a moment of pause where the sustainability message clicked with them. They were putting the Coke bottle to great use in its second life...and yet they were also preventing it from going right into a landfill.
