Client Overview
Regional Recycling has come a long way since its humble beginnings nearly a century ago, when its founders drove worn-out trucks throughout British Columbia’s Lower Mainland collecting recyclable materials. When Kihada Advertising first partnered with the company, the recycling industry was often referred to as a “penny business.” Today, it has evolved into a global industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars annually.
While recycling is undoubtedly a business, its true purpose extends far beyond profit. At its core is a commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and creating a cleaner future for generations to come.
Over the years, Kihada Advertising has been proud to play a key role in Regional Recycling’s growth and brand evolution. Working as an extension of their team, we have led the creative development of multiple brands within their organization—from strategic brand naming and logo design to complete visual identity systems, website design and development, mobile web applications, professional photography, video production, advertising campaigns, signage, and ongoing social media marketing.
Among the brands we helped create and grow are:
- Depozip – Recycle from Home and Get Paid
- Fastdrop – We Sort It, You Get Paid
- Quikcount – Less Sorting, Faster Cash
Our partnership has helped position Regional Recycling as one of British Columbia’s most recognized and innovative recycling organizations, demonstrating how thoughtful branding, strategic marketing, and creative storytelling can transform a traditional industry into a modern, customer-focused experience.
The Challenge – Struggling to Stand Out in a Crowded Restaurant Market?
Many businesses struggle to show their commitment to sustainability through branding. Outdated design, generic messaging, or a lack of eco-conscious strategy can make it hard for customers to see your green initiatives.
- The recycling process felt cumbersome and outdated—consumers found sorting and dropping off recyclables to be a hassle, not a breeze.
- Simply doing the right thing for the environment wasn’t enough; people needed a clear, fast benefit to act (like getting cash for deposits).
- The brand messaging was cluttered and old-school, failing to reflect the company’s modern, streamlined service and its values.
The visual identity felt messy and messy—green-heavy and dated—making the brand look less approachable and modern
