TerraCycle began filming season one of our reality show, called “Human Resources,” we weren’t entirely sure what to expect. We wanted to make entertaining TV, while simultaneously bringing greater awareness to packaging waste and recycling.
The television remains one of the most vital tools available to “green” marketers. From product placement to
paid commercial spots, getting your product, service or mission featured on TV is an invaluable way to bring your company’s messaging directly into people’s living rooms.

PARISIENNE, la marque suisse de cigarettes la plus appréciée, et sa société mère, BAT Switzerland deviennent encore plus vertes. Ensemble avec le pionnier américain de recyclage TerraCycle et des partenaires provenant du commerce de détails, BAT Switzerland et sa marque de cigarette PARISIENNE ont lancé une initiative écologique de recyclage des mégots cigarettes. Celle-ci a pour objectif de lutter contre l'abandon des mégots de cigarettes en convertissant ces derniers en produits recyclés tout en permettant de protéger l'environnement et les ressources. Le programme sera lancé au Gurten Festival, dont Parisienne est un sponsor. Il sera ensuite développé avec des partenaires en ville de Berne.
La conscience environnementale n‘est pas un élément nouveau pour PARISIENNE et sa société mère, BAT Switzerland. Depuis 2007, BAT Switzerland distribue gratuitement aux fumeurs adultes dans les villes et lors des grandes manifestations, un petit cendrier portable en fer blanc recyclable. Il contribue à ce que les mégots de cigarettes ne soient pas jetés négligemment dans la rue. Un tel cendrier de poche sera également offert aux fumeurs adultes du Gurten Festival cette année.
