Christmas is a day of love — not just love for ourselves, family and friends, but also for our planet.

PMQ has partnered with an architecture firm AaaM (Architecture as a Medium) and Green Power to present “Jungle All the Way”, an environmental-friendly, design-centric Christmas installation that uses recycled drink cartons to craft a festive jungle of Christmas trees.

Opened to the public from December 15th to 31st, visitors can be mesmerised by the jungle and its various inhabitants, including paper crafted “local wildlife animals” made by local design team Stickyline. In addition, PMQ has worked alongside the Go Cup team and various creative parties to come up with several unique experience markets for visitors to raise awareness and understand the importance of reducing waste during celebration.

Eco-Friendly Christmas Installation Designed and Crafted by AaaM Architects
The creative and stunning installation of “Jungle All the Way” were designed and crafted by AaaM Architects which uses Architecture as a medium to show its care for environmental sustainability and urban innovation. The AaaM team turns more than 15,000 used drink cartons collected from the Green Power network to 36 Christmas trees. The aluminum foil lining inside these boxes is perfect to be used as shiny, reflective decorations, while the various different coloured boxes have been carefully used to creative vibrant motifs. Together, the installation glimmers exquisitely at night with the aid of energy-saving LED lights. You can also admire the jungle from an above-ground vantage point by going up to the higher floors of either block. This Christmas, let’s witness the blend of design, environmental awareness, and holiday spirit here at PMQ.

Green Power Teams with Four Primary Schools — Educate the Next Generation to build a More Beautiful World
It is an important initiative to teach children at a young age to be creative and care for the environment. Having pioneered Hong Kong’s first drink carton recycling initiative, Green Power has collaborated with students from four local primary schools — S.K.H. Holy Cross Primary School, Pui Ching Primary School, Christian Alliance S. Y. Yeh Memorial Primary School, and HHCKLA Buddhist Ching Kok Lin Association School – to collect discarded cartons, work with the AaaM team to fold the drink cartons and implement them into Christmas trees at PMQ.

In early December, PMQ and Little Green Feet Parent-Child Reading Club will tour around the city with a mobile cart and demonstrate a shared vision of enjoying holidays in environmental-friendly ways to the community, giving them a hands-on process of creations like how to fold a recycled drink carton into a Christmas tree leaf. You can also try one! (Demo video)
