To position eureciclo beyond regulatory compliance, UP Lab developed the institutional platform "Recycling Pays Off" (Reciclar Compensa), turning a legal obligation into a strategic reputational asset.


eureciclo, a leader in reverse logistics in Brazil, faced the challenge of expanding how the market saw it beyond regulatory compliance. Although its technical value is solid, the brand needed to establish itself as a platform that connects companies, cooperatives and consumers around a collective movement. To do so, it was necessary to translate the complexity of this network and show how the legal obligation for packaging can become a powerful strategic asset for reputation, differentiation and shared value creation.
We developed the new institutional strategic platform guided by the concept "Recycling Pays Off". The narrative sums up the business's economic and socio-environmental rationale, positioning recycling as a smart decision for the market. This strategy came to life at APAS Show, where the principles the brand stands for were put into practice through experience design and the sustainable reuse of the 2025 booth structure. The version of our award-winning 2026 circular booth can be visited at the Naturaltech and Super Minas trade shows.

The activation delivered immediate results, winning the prestigious Best Booth Concept and Most Sustainable Booth awards at APAS Show 2026. More than awards, the project consolidated eureciclo's evolution from a compliance solution into core infrastructure for impact and community.
Our activation marked the first step in building a sense of community among the brand's partner companies, recognizing those who are already part of the movement and believe that Recycling Pays Off.
This case shows UP Lab's ability to turn complex challenges into clear market positioning, proving that sustainability creates real value when purpose is connected to business results. Thanks to B Corp Rato Rói and all the other partners involved.
