Diplomatic Correspondent: Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan has unveiled Bangladesh’s first-ever Christmas tree made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, marking a pioneering step in sustainable hospitality. Constructed using 3,688 repurposed plastic bottles, the installation highlights the hotel’s long-term commitment to environmental awareness and responsible celebration.
‎Created and assembled by the hotel’s leadership team, the innovative tree aligns with the theme “RRR – Reduce. Reuse. Revive.” The bottles used in the project were intentionally collected over several months by senior team members, showcasing how impactful sustainability begins with small, consistent actions.
‎
‎The initiative originated in July, when the hotel’s leadership pledged to eliminate single-use plastics both at work and in their personal lives. This year’s Christmas installation stands as a meaningful outcome of that commitment, transforming discarded materials into a powerful festive symbol.
‎“We wanted to celebrate Christmas in a way that reflects our values,” said Karthi VK, General Manager of Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan. “This installation demonstrates the difference responsible choices can make. I strongly believe meaningful change grows from consistent small steps — and as leaders, it must start with us.”
‎
‎Rooted in IHG’s Journey to Tomorrow sustainability framework, the eco-friendly Christmas tree reinforces that environmental responsibility is not a seasonal gesture but a year-round commitment to people, the planet, and the community.

‎Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan has invited guests, partners, and the broader Dhaka community to visit the installation in the hotel lobby and join the conversation on sustainable festive practices.
