From the earliest stages, we incorporated circularity principles into the planning and execution processes to ensure that the materials used were reduced, reused and recycled. Through careful planning of the design and structure of the event installations, the total amount of materials used to set up and run the event was reduced by 23%; while 91% of event setup and consumer waste was diverted from landfills. Resource and circularity measures adopted included: • Producing 5,000 decorative “re-poinsettias”, made from old cabin crew uniforms from Cathay Pacific and bed sheets from Swire Hotels, for decorations at the event. These were then redistributed to staff for use as home decorations. • Creating multifunctional souvenir package which could be reused as food and beverage vouchers at the Street Fair. • Using 3D “printed reversible sand” installations which can be dismantled and reused for new installations, instead of using non-recyclable fibreglass. • Using fully recyclable D-Boards for most signage instead of foam board. • Piloting a closed loop approach for compostable materials. The House Collective Mooncake Boxes – Treasure Chests with Upcycled Jade The design for the House Collective’s 2022 mooncake collections was inspired by traditional Chinese curio boxes, nicknamed the “emperor’s toy chests”. We collected around 50kg of old uniforms and 65kg of glass bottles from our Houses to create a new “jade” called “Ping An Kou”. The materials were melted down into liquid form and remoulded into stylish jade amulets. Once enjoyed, the mooncake box sets can be reused as treasure chests to store items at home, while the “jade” can be used as a stylish accessory – paying homage to the traditional artefacts that families use to pass peace and safety down through the generations, and the same circular mindset that is at the core of sustainability.
