This long-term initiative supports Pigeon\u2019s mission to reduce environmental impact \u2014 ensuring we leave behind a richer, greener Earth for future generations of babies.<\/p>\n<p>Families across Singapore are encouraged to trade in or drop off their used nursing bottles at designated collection points. The collected plastic is then processed and repurposed into raw materials for new plastic products or toy components, giving old bottles a meaningful new life.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To bring this recycling journey closer to families, Pigeon Singapore partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plastify.sg\/\">Plastify<\/a>* \u2014 a local non-profit organisation \u2014 at the Mummys Market Baby Fair in April 2024. Together, we demonstrated how used nursing bottles can be upcycled into something purposeful and personal \u2014 custom name tags made from recycled plastic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27146 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/pigeon.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Go-Green-Both-1024x886.jpg\" alt=\"Pigeon Go Green Both\" width=\"1024\" height=\"886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pigeon.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Go-Green-Both-980x848.jpg 980w, https:\/\/pigeon.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Go-Green-Both-480x415.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>ACTIONS<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the 3-day event, families who brought in used bottles were invited to experience the upcycling process firsthand. Although the plastic had been pre-washed and shredded into pellets, participants took part in the exciting next steps \u2014 melting the pellets, injecting them into molds, and creating their very own name tags.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This hands-on activity gave families a front-row seat to witness the transformation of plastic waste into something new and meaningful. It also deepened understanding of how everyday actions \u2014 like recycling \u2014 can contribute to a more sustainable future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27152 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/pigeon.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Pigeon-Recycling-Display.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"577\" height=\"577\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27153 \" src=\"https:\/\/pigeon.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Crushed-plastic1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Used Nursing Bottles\" width=\"432\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>RESULTS<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through this collaboration with Plastify,<\/span><b> 250 personlised name tags<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were upcycled and distributed during the event.
