Following an overnight rainfall, favorable weather on the round 2 exchange day encouraged strong participation from SeABank employees, their families, and local communities, creating a vibrant atmosphere and adding momentum to the shared journey toward greener living.
Round 2 recorded a remarkable 73% increase in the volume of recyclable materials collected compared with Round 1, reaching a total of 1.2 tonnes, including:
1,176 kg of paper and cardboard
57 kg of plastic materials
22 kg of metal cans and scrap metal
The smiles of participants, their appreciation for every thoughtfully prepared gift, and the joy shared throughout the event continue to inspire the SeAGreen Fund to improve the program. Every gift is carefully selected, with priority given to environmentally friendly products, with the aim of not only rewarding participants but also promoting greener lifestyles, sustainable consumption, and a stronger sense of community responsibility.
To provide the best possible experience, the program offers a wide variety of gifts for participants. As some gifts are available in limited quantities and may run out early, the SeAGreen Fund sincerely appreciates the community's understanding and support.
The SeAGreen Fund sincerely thanks all participants for following the event guidelines, maintaining an orderly environment, and cooperating throughout the queueing, recyclable material weighing, and gift redemption process. Their support helped ensure that the event was conducted smoothly, efficiently, and fairly. The greatest achievement of the SeAGreen Waste-for-Gift Exchange Days extends beyond collecting tonnes of recyclable materials and returning them to the circular economy. More importantly, the program continues to foster environmental awareness, inspire a spirit of sharing, and encourage everyday green actions that contribute to a more sustainable future.
Round 3 will take place on June 12, 2026. The SeAGreen Fund looks forward to the continued participation and support of the community in promoting greener lifestyles, encouraging waste segregation at source, returning more resources to the circular economy, and helping build a more sustainable future together.
