KUALA LUMPUR, May 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire) - Spritzer, Malaysia's leading mineral water brand, is excited to present "Plastic Reimagined," an interactive and educational experience to inspire Malaysians to see plastic waste in a new light and raise awareness about recycling. Visitors to the 5-day event will have the opportunity to get up-close and personal with upcycled items and participate in a variety of exciting activities.
Second life of Recycled Plastic Bottles Process
This immersive event will be happening from May 22nd to 26th, 2024, at IOI City Mall in Putrajaya. Event highlights include the Spritzer upcycling art exhibition and a series of engaging activities designed to inform the public about the importance of recycling and the potential second life of recycled plastics.
Spritzer's ‘Plastic Reimagined’ event represents a bold step towards a future rooted in sustainability and circularity, particularly in encouraging individuals to view plastic waste as a resource rather than refuse. By showcasing creative recycling methods and the potential of plastic, the event aims to transform the perception of waste, especially plastic waste, and demonstrate how every piece of plastic can be given a second life by turning it into something beautiful or functional. The ultimate goal of the campaign is to foster sustainable mindsets among Malaysians.
Spritzer’s goal is to become a fully circular brand by 2030 and the company has been actively seeking new ways to integrate sustainable practices into their business and lifestyle. They are also leading innovation in packaging by using recycled materials (rPET), with the packaging being 100% recyclable. ‘Plastic Reimagined’ is part of Spritzer’s ongoing efforts to change perceptions and aims to facilitate a shift towards more eco-friendly mindsets, where every piece of plastic has a purpose and a second life.
To that end, visitors to the ‘Plastic Reimagined’ event can look forward to a diverse range of activities and exhibits, including:
