Savills Plastic Detox 2023 and the Meaningful Journey of Shaping Green Places

Savills is proud to run its Plastic Detox campaign for the second year as part of its larger commitment to the environment and sustainability. The campaign raises environmental consciousness and provides rich experiences for Savills communities, residents, and tenants. Participants learnt about plastic recycling and how they can play a part in the collecting, sorting, and cleaning phases.

Plastic Detox 2023: Shape Green Places

In 2023, Plastic Detox emphasised how communities play a role in creating green spaces and they can make their lifestyles greener through very small daily changes that help them limit their use of plastic.

The Larger Impact of Plastic Detox

This year, Savills partnered with Dấu Chân Xanh, Nắng ở chỗ này chỗ kia and the developers and management boards at Leadvisors Tower and The West (office projects) and Sky Park Residence, and Sky Oasis (residential projects). Messaging reached more than 35,000 people and the campaign managed to collect more than 3,000 pieces of plastic waste in just four days. This impact grew exponentially compared to 2022.

"The enthusiastic participation of Savills communities is hugely positive and shows that people are thinking about the environment, " said Nguyen Thi Hoang Tien, Co-Founder of Dấu Chân Xanh. “Plastic Detox helps communities to better understand the benefits of living sustainable lifestyles and how they can reduce plastic in their lives. "

Nguyen Viet Huong, Founder of Nắng ở chỗ này chỗ kia, shared: "Greening living and working spaces contributes to improving physical and mental health, so people can feel happier and more energetic. It has been our pleasure to accompany Plastic Detox for two consecutive years, and we look forward to promoting healthy lifestyles to Savills communities in the years to come."
