Recycle Bottles - Grow the Future: Far Eastern Polytex and AEON MALLPromote Green Living at ECO EVENT 2025
Every used plastic bottle is not just an item to throw away — it holds the potential for renewal. From May 25 to June 5, Eco Event 2025 marks the continued partnership between Far Eastern Polytex Vietnam (FEPV) and AEON MALLVietnam in spreading the message of sustainable living. This year, the recycling movement gains greater momentum, powered by FEPV’s state-of-the-art rPET recycling facility located right here in Vietnam.
As a meaningful annual initiative, this event reinforces the collaboration between Far Eastern Polytex Vietnam Co., Ltd. (FEPV) and AEON MALL Vietnam, promoting the collection and recycling of used PET bottles at AEON MALL locations in Binh Tan District and Binh Duong Province. Timed to coincide with World Environment Day on June 5, the event seeks to raise public awareness about environmental conservation and sustainable development.
Recycling: A new beginning
ECO EVENT 2025 encourage the public to participate by bringing used PET bottles to designated collection points at AEON MALLs, where they can exchange bottles for meaningful gifts. Attendees will also have the opportunity to interact with the Reverse Vending Machine - a smart and eco-friendly technology designed to promote recycling habits and responsible waste sorting.
A highlight of the event is the ECO CONTEST 2025 - a “Ring the Golden Bell” quiz competition themed “Green Generation – Act for the Environment,” aimed at middle school students. The competition will take place across three AEON MALLlocations: Tan Phu, Binh Tan, and Binh Duong. The quiz tests participants’ knowledge on recycling, waste separation, and environmental stewardship, offering a fun and engaging way to promote sustainability education.
FEPV: Creating new value from PET bottles
As part of the Far Eastern New Century (FENC) group, a global pioneer in PET recycling, FEPV is committed to sustainability through over 30 years of innovation in material recycling. With a global network of RPET manufacturing facilities spanning countries such as Taiwan, Japan, China, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the United States,
FEPV continues to invest in advanced recycling technologies to transform post-consumer PET bottles into high-value products. These include food and non-food packaging, textiles, household goods, and automotive components — all illustrating the potential of a circular economy
FEPV’s state-of-the-art rPET plant, which began operations in 2025, marks a significant step in localizing circular production in Vietnam. The plant uses advanced processes to produce internationally certified, food-grade rPET that meets FDA (U.S.) and EFSA (Europe) standards, contributing to both local needs and exports for food packaging.
Globally, FENC recycles over 22 billion post-consumer PET bottles annually, preventing approximately 15,000 tons of plastic waste from entering marine environments. (Source: FENC Sustainability Report 2023 -https://csr.fenc.com/report.aspx?lang=en )
Nurturing green habits across generations
The year 2025 marks the fourth consecutive year of Eco Event, an initiative hosted by FEPV and AEON MALL Vietnam. Last year, the event engaged over 6,000 participants and collected 23,000 used PET bottles from AEON MALL locations nationwide, reflecting a growing community commitment to environmental action.
This year, Eco Event 2025 will be hosted at:
- AEON MALL Binh Tan: May 25 – June 5
- AEON MALL Binh Duong: May 31 – June 5
Visitors of all ages are encouraged to join. For every 20 used PET bottles brought to the collection points, participants will receive a premium canvas tote bag as a token of appreciation. Don’t miss the chance to explore the Reverse Vending Machine, designed to make recycling more interactive and accessible, especially for young consumers .
A greener future starts with the smallest acts
The journey toward sustainability doesn’t begin with dramatic changes — it starts with simple actions, such as giving a bottle a new purpose.
With Eco Event 2025, FEPV and AEON MALL Vietnam aim to inspire long-lasting recycling habits in the community and cultivate a sense of green responsibility in the next generation. FEPV’s new rPET facility in Vietnam is a testament to the company’s commitment to sustainability, turning waste into valuable resources for a circular economy.
Join the movement and help grow the future - where every bottle finds a new beginning, every child builds a deeper connection with nature, and each of us takes a step closer to a truly sustainable lifestyle.
