Nestlé Purina PetCare is launching a campaign to get its consumers to recycle their aluminum and steel cans after use. The #PurinaRecyclesChallenge encourages pet owners to aim at the recycling bin when disposing of their used pet food cans instead of throwing them into the garbage.
The challenge invites pet owners to film a “trick shot” of them banking a pet food can into the recycling bin and share on Instagram and/or TikTok with the hashtag #PurinaRecyclesChallenge.
