Waste Separation Lead Generation Campaign

England’s new Waste Separation Legislation 2025 requires businesses and households to separate recyclable materials, supporting improved recycling, reduced landfill use and the country’s sustainability goals.

The legislation gave Commercial an opportunity to showcase its expertise and support businesses through the transition. The project focused on creating a client email promoting Commercial’s services, supported by compelling imagery. Several concepts were explored, with two selected for further development.

Adding motion

Motion graphics were incorporated to create a more engaging email experience. The example above brings waste separation within a bin to life through dynamic animation, helping capture and retain the viewer’s attention.

The final design

The final email features an animated fox graphic that directs recipients to an insight article on the Commercial website. The copy was refined to complement the visual direction, while a balanced layout and contrasting content blocks enhance readability, guide the reader through the message, and create a clear, engaging flow.
