Burger King - Join The Meltdown
In September 2019, Burger King UK turned up the heat on the fast food industry when it announced it would be removing plastic toys from its kids’ meals and melting them down, for good. The multi-channel campaign saw the brand ‘meltdown’ its core assets while a cast of melting characters called upon the public to donate their unwanted toys (BK’s and rivals) via instore amnesty bins so they could be recycled and turned into play areas and more. The Meltdown saved 320 tons of plastic, delivered 9bn media impressions and prompted the competition to follow suit.
