Starstreet Precinct turns plastic bottles into Christmas decorations this month

Christmas is ages away, but it’s never too soon to start thinking about how to make your holidays more plastic-free! This July, be sure to save your plastic bottles and bring them down to Wan Chai and Admiralty area. Starstreet Precinct just launched its latest eco-friendly initiative, collecting recyclable plastic bottles which they will use to repurpose into upcycled Christmas decorations. They’ve set up 16 temporary PET plastic bottle recycling points around Admiralty and Wan Chai businesses. For each recycling donation made, Starstreet Precinct will plant a tree in Nepal using EcoMatcher’s Global Forest Program. You can even track the progress of your tree using EcoMatcher’s app!
