In addition, as part of The Upper House’s ongoing commitment to our community partners, 10% of profits from mooncake sales will be donated to a local charity serving children without families, pregnant teenagers and in-need young women in Hong Kong. Starstreet Precinct’s Circular Campaign for Christmas In mid-June 2022, Starstreet Precinct began to prepare for a green Christmas by collecting PET plastic bottles and transforming them into Christmas decorations. The team set up 16 recycling locations at Pacific Place and across Starstreet Precinct. Contributors put their bottles into the designated recycling bins, registered and then watched their “upcycled Christmas masterpiece” take shape. Trees were also planted on the contributors’ behalf through a third party – the progress of which could be tracked via a website. In total, around 1,700 plastic bottles were collected and later converted into decorations. The recycled plastics were finally upcycled into small trinkets in early 2023. Zero-waste Festive Decorations at our Hotels Sustainable seasonal celebrations are a tradition at Swire Hotels. Every Christmas, The Temple House incorporates recycled materials into festive decorations for the annual community-driven tree-lighting ceremony. In 2022, we partnered with a design studio to create zero-waste Christmas trees made of thousands of upcycled plastic bottles that were displayed in The Temple House and The Upper House. After the festivities, the trees were deconstructed into a furniture set at The Upper House and tea trays at The Temple House. These were then auctioned off, with all proceeds going to local charities. At EAST Hong Kong, Christmas 2022 welcomed a giant teddy bear made from upcycled materials. The bear’s structure was created from left-over wooden fencing from when EAST Hong Kong operated as a quarantine hotel. This was covered with a layer of used blankets and covered up with fake fur.
