Going eco-friendly doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy shopping—once you get to know how to do it with Raffles City Singapore’s Project Green campaign
As the world grows more eco-conscious, the proliferation of “fast fashion” and the very real dangers of overconsumption have given shopping a bad rap. Raffles City Singapore is looking to change that, one sustainable step at a time through its Project Green campaign.
The campaign aims to transform the retail experience through a series of holistic, sustainability initiatives, including recycling programmes, educational content and upcycling workshops involving shoppers, retail tenants and hotel guests from the neighbouring Fairmont Singapore and Swissôtel The Stamford.
From July 8 to September 25, visitors to the mall can participate in the activities and get the chance to receive vouchers and stars on the CapitaStar app.
“By providing our retailers, office tenants and hotels a suitable platform via Project Green to expand on their green offerings, Raffles City aspires to make a bigger impact to inculcate sustainable living in the daily lives of our shoppers and stakeholders, and to adopt an eco-conscious attitude to make a positive impact on our planet together,” says Steve Ng, general manager of the integrated complex.

This specially designed recycling hub has been permanently set up for the public to drop off their e-waste while recycling vending machines collect used plastic drink bottles and aluminium drink cans.
In addition to the interactive educational displays, there’s also a Bag Sharing Station, where shoppers are encouraged to drop off their unused paper bags for others to take and use.
