WRAP was originally set up to help recycling take off in the UK and to create a market for recycled materials and is now continuing to help UK governments devise strategies to make best use of limited resources. More information is available at WRAP.org

WRAP is hosting this challenge to leverage the power of the crowd and better understand how people's opinions are affected by advertising and marketing. Specifically, WRAP hopes to uncover evidence of how advertising impacts people's views of a product's durability and longevity.

Deliverables

There are no specific product sectors, demographics or geographic markets defined for this challenge. The products may be manufactured and sold anywhere in the world.

Submit the following:

1A) Input your list of links to the relevant forums to which you have posted HERE. You will also be asked to input your email address.

1B) Additionally, copy and paste your list of links into the MindSumo submission field to so that your work is officially recorded.

2) Submit your own best example of durability/longevity advertising by filling out this qustionnaire.
