KUALA LUMPUR, 12 AUGUST 2024 \u2013 As Malaysia celebrates 67 years of independence with the theme \u2018Malaysia Madani: Jiwa Merdeka,\u2019 Pavilion Kuala Lumpur is excited to launch its Merdeka festivities with a groundbreaking, long-term partnership with Istana Budaya and the return of its vibrant initiative: \u2018Pavilion Loves Sustainability\u2019.<\/p>\n
Part of Pavilion REIT\u2019s ongoing commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, the \u2018Pavilion Loves Sustainability\u2019 pop-up returns for its second year. From 12 to 18 August 2024, shoppers are invited to explore this dynamic pop-up at Pavilion KL\u2019s Centre Court, supported by esteemed partners including Maybank, Istana Budaya, and Spritzer, along with eco-conscious tenants<\/p>\n
In a major step towards sustainability, Pavilion KL is phasing out single-use plastic bottles for events and introducing biodegradable bottles by FLOW. Certified as home compostable by the Australasian Bioplastics Association, these bottles are crafted from 100% biodegradable materials\u2014plant fibres, natural minerals, starch and patented adhesives. They can be composted at home, biodegrade naturally in landfills, or be incinerated. FLOW bottles decompose in 180 to 360 days, as compared to single-use plastics that take approximately 450 years to decompose. This initiative comes in response to Malaysia\u2019s high microplastic consumption and research indicating potential elevated blood pressure from drinking from plastic bottles (Department of Medicine at Danube Private University, Austria).<\/p>\n
Shoppers can engage in Pavilion KL\u2019s sustainability movement by redeeming a complimentary FLOW bottle with a purchase of RM300 and above (or RM150 with Maybank Credit or Charge Cards) in a single receipt at specialty stores and F&B outlets.<\/p>\n
Additionally, visitors can adopt a plant from Midorie and The Body Shop, who are giving away 400 and 500 plants, respectively, over the weekend of 17 and 18 August.<\/p>\n
