Background
Star Linen needed support to launch a recyclable pillow service and carry out behavioural analysis of key stakeholders to understand their barriers and drivers in order to motivate them to change old behaviours and engage with this new service. This will help in tackling the thousands of pillows sent to landfill each year by their customers.
SOLUTIONS
- Facilitated a process mapping exercise of the pillow recycling service, establishing key stakeholders and identifying key questions and considerations relating to the circularity of both the bag and wider service design.
- Using the COM-B model of behavioural change, analysed the capabilities, opportunities and motivations of key customers/stakeholders.
- Identified potential behavioural intervention strategies the company could implement to drive engagement with the service.

Outcomes
Pioneering innovative service
