Nescafé Ricoffy drinkers show off their DIY capability for a chance at R1,000!

As South Africans, we are known for our ability to repurpose items. So, it seems fitting that Nescafé Ricoffy would use this information to their benefit. 

They recently announced an upcycle brand challenge, that has seen a host of entries from South African Nescafé Ricoffy drinkers. The incentive? They could stand a chance to win R1,000.

The competition began in mid-February and is due to end on 31 March, using the awkward hashtag  #NescafeRicoffyResponsiblySourced on TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook. 

The aim behind the upcycle competition is to encourage drinkers to find creative ways of extending the lifecycle of the tins.
