Qii78 impulsa la adopción de la aplicación de reciclaje y aumenta el impacto ambiental con OneSeed
Overview
For AIA Carnival Hong Kong 2025, Qii78.com (pronounced “key seventy eight”) and OneSeed partnered to enhance the launch of Qii78’s recycling app, transforming recycling into a rewarding experience while driving tangible environmental impact and app adoption.
Recycle and plant — Qii78’s innovative recycling app makes it fun and easy to be an active participant in the sustainability movement.
How it works: Users scan QR codes on products and recycling bins as they recycle items to earn Qoins, Qii78’s digital reward. Users redeem their Qoins, choosing from a list of rewards, including the option to plant a tree with OneSeed.
The challenge: encourage adoption of the recycling app at AIA Carnival
The AIA Carnival is one of Hong Kong’s largest annual events, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors. With large-scale gatherings come increased waste and the challenge of ensuring proper recycling. The goal was to:
- Make recycling easy and fun for attendees.
- Increase awareness of proper waste sorting.
- Incentivize and reward sustainable actions.
The solution
OneSeed collaborated with Qii78 to integrate educational and reward mechanisms into the recycling program app. Key elements included:
Gamified participation
Users earned rewards by correctly recycling items, transforming the act of recycling into an engaging experience.
Environmental impact rewards
For every app download, a tree was planted, connecting participants’ actions to global reforestation efforts.
A promotional video helped to raise awareness and drive app adoption. This compelling visual campaign encouraged carnival-goers to join the recycling initiative and highlighted the positive environmental impact they could make.
