Burger King launches new Gone Wild collectible cards for kids!

BURGER KING

Growing up, I was fascinated with collectibles. Were you? Remember the Pokémon discs, the cereal spoons in the cereal boxes? Does it bring back any memories for you?

Collectables have come a long way. We all know that it works wonders for a brand’s marketing but how many of these collectibles are actually teaching our kids is something that we need to be discussing right now? Are the teachings pertinent? Do they deal with or educate our children on issues like pollution, or the extinction of animals, etc.

Last year, Burger King launched their collectible cards and it got the attention of kids all over South Africa.

Those Dino cards opened a whole new exciting world for my daughter. She learned how to pronounce the names of the Dinosaurs, learned about their history and some fun facts which she didn’t know before – like the fact that the Gallimimus could run up to speeds of 80km/h.

It was a good set of collectibles, however, I felt like it was something I’ve seen before if you know what I mean?

This year, Burger King has decided to focus on 25 endangered species. Now that got my attention very quickly! Could it be a millennial thing?

Did you know… The Polar bear is vulnerable?

The Chimpanzee is endangered?

The reality is that our planet is slowly dying and even though we talk about this often – sometimes we don’t educate our kids enough on what is happening and on how they can help. Burger King has brought up an important topic through an interactive platform.

The BK® Gone Wild App allows kids to interact with animals in 3D environments, as well as learn fun facts and play educational games which test their knowledge a bit.

Games on the app include:

·         Spot the difference

·         Quizzes

·         Guess who?

I even learned a lot during those quizzes.

This is not just another set of collectibles for me.

We are talking about the future of 25 species, some of which your kids may never see when they become adults.

We are talking about species like the vulnerable Blue Whale Shark, the endangered Giant Panda, the near-threatened Emperor Penguin, and the critically endangered Black Rhino.

The best part is these cards can be recycled but let’s hope you hang on to them.

FAQs answered for you:

Where does Burger King meat come from?

BURGER KING® South Africa sources its beef from a local supplier who runs an accredited facility and takes great care to produce great tasting beef products in a safe and hygienic environment. All products can be traced to ensure only the best is served to their guests. Their patties are 100% pure beef with no added fillers and no added preservatives.

Why include single-use plastic in this campaign if you are trying to shine a brighter light on the endangered animals?

As one of the world’s most popular restaurant chains, we recognize our responsibility to limit the environmental impact we have on our planet. That’s why Burger King has been actively working on respective long-term packaging strategies.

  40. Copper scrap usage Copper is an essential mineral needed for various physiological functions, including the production of red blood cells and maintenance of nerve cells, connective tissues, and immune system. However, excessive exposure to copper can cause toxic effects on the body leading to copper poisoning. Individuals at risk of harm from copper poisoning include: 1. Occupational exposure: Workers involved in copper mining, refining, manufacturing, and recycling are at high risk of copper toxicity due to prolonged exposure to copper dust, fumes, and solutions. 2. Environmental exposure: People living near industrial sites or areas with high copper concentration in water, soil, or air are at risk of copper poisoning. This may occur due to pollution or contamination by copper-containing pesticides or fertilizers. 3. Ingestion of copper from food or supplements: While copper is an essential mineral, excessive ingestion from supplements or contaminated food may lead to toxic levels. This may occur in people with Wilson’s disease, a genetic disorder characterized by the inability to excrete copper normally. 4. Infants fed with copper-containing milk formulas: Some infant milk formulas contain higher levels of copper than breast milk, leading to copper toxicity in infants. Symptoms of copper poisoning may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, confusion, anemia, liver and kidney damage, and in severe cases, seizures and coma. Preventing copper poisoning involves minimizing exposure to copper in occupational or environmental settings, avoiding excessive intake of copper-containing supplements or contaminated food, and ensuring that infant milk formulas do not contain excessive levels of copper. Treatment of copper poisoning may involve chelation therapy, which involves the administration of drugs that bind to copper and promote its excretion from the body Scrap metal recovery and utilization Copper scrap processing plant Copper scrap compounding Copper acetate recycling Copper scrap classification Metal recovery and reuse

  42. Copper scrap pollution prevention There are federal guidelines and standards related to the use of copper in various industries. The use of copper in construction, plumbing, electrical wiring, and other applications is regulated by federal agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), among others. One of the main concerns related to copper use is its potential impact on public health and the environment. Copper can leach into water sources and soil, and can also cause health issues if inhaled or ingested in excessive amounts. For this reason, the EPA has established a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for copper in drinking water, which is set at 1.3 milligrams per liter. In addition to the EPA’s regulations, OSHA has established exposure limits for copper in the workplace. This includes a permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 0.1 milligrams per cubic meter of air for copper fumes, and a recommended exposure limit (REL) of 1 milligram per cubic meter of air. NIOSH also provides guidelines and recommendations related to copper exposure in the workplace, including guidance on respiratory protection, personal protective equipment, and hazard communication. In the construction industry, the use of copper is regulated by building codes and standards established by organizations such as the International Code Council (ICC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). These codes and standards address the use of copper in plumbing, electrical wiring, and other applications, and ensure that all installations meet safety and performance requirements. Overall, the federal guidelines and standards related to copper use are designed to protect public health and the environment, while also ensuring the safe and effective use of copper in various industries Metal scrap dealer Scrap Copper processing Industrial Copper scrap Copper recovery and recycling Copper scrap purchasing tactics Precious metal market dynamics
