Cocoon and An Khang Pharmacy continue to join hands in spreading the "Green Living" message through the meaningful program “Collecting bottles – Living Green every day with Cocoon.” With 10 designated collection points at An Khang pharmacies, the program aims to reduce plastic waste - especially minimizing the release of used Cocoon bottles into the environment - while encouraging the community to reuse and contribute to building a more sustainable lifestyle.
The “Collecting bottles – Living Green every day with Cocoon” project was launched with the aim of encouraging consumers to develop the habit of collecting used bottles to exchange for new products instead of discarding them with household waste, thereby giving these bottles a meaningful second life through recycling.

Plastic bottles, if not properly handled, pose serious environmental threats—from polluting soil, water, and air, to negatively impacting natural ecosystems. They also affect wildlife and release microplastics that can harm human and environmental health.
Let’s join Cocoon and An Khang Pharmacy in protecting the ecosystem by collecting and recycling used bottles. These bottles will be given a "new life" in a more sustainable and eco-friendly form—being sorted, washed, shredded, and woven into fabric to make shirts, bags, hats, umbrellas, etc.
Together with Cocoon and An Khang Pharmacy to contribute to protecting the ecosystem
