Two weeks after launching #HelpAStreetVendor (#AjudeUmAbulante) — an initiative to reduce the impact of the cancellation of festivities on the income of salespeople who were unable to work during the Carnival holiday this year —, Ambev is back to show the results of a sustainability action started during Carnival in 2020. On Wednesday (February 24th) was rolled out the campaign created by SunsetDDB about Ambev's partnership last year with ANCAT (National Association of Recyclable Material Pickers) focused on collecting garbage left by people participating in the biggest block parties in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Salvador, and Recife. The campaign includes a short animation produced by Zombie Studio with recyclable waste. Approximately 26 million revellers who took the streets in 2020 produced 324 metric tons of waste and recyclable material. Of this amount, 127 tons of plastic were transformed into 2,000 trash cans that are being installed in Salvador and Recife. About 3,000 pickers joined the initiative. To reinforce Ambev's sustainability concept, SunsetDDB and Zombie Studio came up with the idea of using waste collected during Carnival to produce the film "Dear Garbage" (“Querido Lixo”), which featured sets designed with recycled materials such as plastic and cardboard. The script follows a relationship between a recyclable material picker and a plastic bottle thrown on the ground during a Carnival block party. The plot and title of the film are an invitation to rethink the way we deal with waste, showing its importance not only for collectors, but also to build a more sustainable world. To turn this message into reality, all the material used in the short film will also be turned into a trash can. The production lasted three months, headed by Zombie Studio and directed by Paulo Garcia. The animation begins with scenes of a plastic bottle coming to life in a factory. It is thrown on the ground by a reveller and later taken to a recycling centre by a picker. In the end, the two characters meet again in a different context, with the bottle shaped like a trash can on the street. The film ends with Ambev's sustainability message: “Some things are forever. Plastic pollution cannot be one of them.” The soundtrack includes audio produced by recycled materials collected during Carnival.
