A return machine was placed at One Pacific Place to collect used containers that were then sanitised and recirculated to the programme’s restaurant partners. Shanghai Malls Transform Plastic Bottles into School Uniforms Taikoo Li Qiantan and HKRI Taikoo Hui both have strong plastic bottle collection programmes. The malls gave these collected bottles a new lease on life as school uniforms. After opening in late 2021, Taikoo Li Qiantan began collecting PET bottles. In 2022, 1.7 tonnes of these bottles were recycled into 500 sets of elementary school uniforms which were then donated to schools in mountainous areas via a charity. Meanwhile, in September and October 2022, HKRI Taikoo Hui initiated a month-long plastic bottle recycling programme in partnership with several environmental charities. Recycling bins were set up in the mall, with the collected bottles processed into school uniforms which were again donated to schools in less economically developed areas.
