REPAK: Most Sorted

Repak, Ireland’s leading environmental non-profit organisation is rallying Irish businesses and members of the public to change their behaviour around recycling, with a new campaign from Award-winning Irish Creative agency The Brill Building.

Repak works with 3,500 member businesses with a remit to help Ireland achieve its EU recycling targets. Repak collaborated with creative agency The Brill Building on ‘The Most Sorted’ campaign, an ambitious new campaign designed to change the way Ireland recycles packaging.

‘The Most Sorted’ is an integrated campaign calling on businesses and the Irish public to reduce the amount of packaging that goes to waste by sending material ‘Clean, Dry and Loose’ to recycling. This is the second national Repak campaign from lead strategic and creative agency The Brill Building since 2022’s ‘Re-imagine’, and is delivered with media agency Core, PR from Teneo, Social from Group M Invention and web from Kooba.

‘The Most Sorted’ creative takes a distinctive and creative approach to its behaviour change message, with the visual effects in TV, OOH, Social and online versions of the campaign showing what might happen if we could see the packaging lingering in the atmosphere rather than ‘out of sight out of mind’.
Award-winning Irish production company Banjoman with Director Henry Littlechild and Post Production house Gabha created the audio visual spots including TV, Online formats and Cinema, with music from Le Boom’s Christy Leech. The distinctive Out Of Home was shot and produced with photographer Liam Murphy.

‘The Most Sorted’ campaign is designed to motivate the people of Ireland to recycle more of their packaging and recycle them correctly, while supporting the member businesses who commit to recycling their packaging correctly to help Ireland live in a circular economy. The organisation’s figures show that if more of Ireland’s packaging was disposed of in this way, it could divert just over half a million tonnes to recycling. The claim appears throughout the campaign at key points.

There are ambitious plastic recycling targets of 50% by 2025 and 55% by 2030 and Repak have previously sounded the alarm that we need a step change in our approach to recycling to achieve the greener future consumers say they want.
