With weekly themes, a host of different activities and participating brands spread across six weeks, the event promises to be a delightful showcase of how to make sustainable habits fun and achievable.
Participating brands at Plaza Singapura include MUJI, The Body Shop, UNIQLO and Frucci, to name a few, with a variety of product showcases and eco-workshops happening over the six weekends. Collaborators like SG Eco Fund, The National Library Board, and other partners will also be participating in the showcase with a series of exciting sustainability exhibitions!

Shoppers can also partake in a Preserved Floral Workshop facilitated by FloralElf on 16 April from 2 to 3 PM. Apart from using recycled dried flowers in their floral arrangements, the workshop serves as a therapeutic activity to alleviate stress after a long and busy week.
This week also features MUJI, the famed global Japanese retail company offering household, furniture, clothing and food products, with their in-store Upcycle Fabric Coaster Workshop held between 14 to 16 April.

Frucci, a cold-pressed juice bar, will be featuring beautiful lamp decorations crafted from Frucci glass bottles to light up the showcase in a sustainable manner. As the brand also aims to cultivate healthy living habits, its cold-pressed juices are made using Earth’s natural ingredients to supply the essential nutrients and contain no sugar, preservatives, or artificial flavours.
At Frucci, they encourage their customers to cultivate a healthy lifestyle and support them in environmental sustainability. From 24 March to 7 May, shoppers can visit Frucci at #01-K1 and bring their cups to enjoy $1 off juices and 50 cents off smoothies (U.P From $5.90).
For the final week of Project Green, The Better Toy Store will be present from 24 April to 1 May with their sustainability showcase, where shoppers can browse through the collection of PLANTOYS’ PlanWood Range and even purchase it. Made from sawdust and waste wood, these non-toxic composite wood toys are highly water-resistant and dishwasher-safe – a big plus point for both parents and their children.
The Project Green Event: Making Singapore sustainable
The Project Green event will also be rolled out to Funan and Bugis Town (Bugis Junction and Bugis+) — in the same period.
At Funan, shoppers can experience the eco-friendly lifestyle by bringing their reusables to enjoy discounts on PPP Coffee and even learn to grow a plant in unwanted cups.
