- IF Coconut unveils The IF-inity Movement in Singapore, transforming discarded bottles into ultra-limited collectible art through circular innovation.
- 1,200 discarded IF bottles transformed into 40 ultra-limited Fortune Merlion collectibles, turning everyday plastic waste into rare, design-led art pieces.
- Public as Co-Creators, where individuals can contribute plastic bottles for a chance to co-create and own one of the exclusive collectibles, unveiling on 29 April 2026 at Ocean Financial Centre.
- Circular innovation meets real-world impact, spotlighting Singapore’s 957 million kg plastic waste challenge (with only 5% recycled) while showcasing a full recycling-to-3D-printing journey.
- One-of-a-kind Gold Edition for charity, to debut at Pop Toy Show 2026, with 100% proceeds supporting the Pan Pacific Conservation Foundation
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 April 2026 – As Singapore accelerates efforts to tackle plastic waste and advance its circular economy ambitions, IF, a globally recognised coconut water brand established in Thailand and renowned for its commitment to product quality and innovation, has launched The IF-inity Movement. A first-of-its-kind initiative that transforms post-consumer plastic into ultra-limited collectible art, while inviting the public in Singapore to take part in the creation process through a circular, community-led approach.
Anchored on the message “Turning Waste to Wonders,” the campaign will culminate in a flagship public event on 29 April 2026 at Ocean Financial Centre Plaza Atrium from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM, where the brand will unveil 40 ultra-limited Fortune Merlion collectibles, each crafted from recycled IF bottles and caps. Designed as both a cultural icon and a sustainability statement, each piece embodies the transformation of waste into something meaningful, bridging creativity, environmental responsibility, and public participation.
Additionally, IF will unveil a one-of-a-kind Gold Edition Fortune Merlion collectible, paired with a IF Coconut Magnet, at Pop Toy Show 2026 – one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most influential collectible and designer toy events, drawing thousands of creative fans, collectors, and industry tastemakers each year. Exclusively featured at UNIPLAY’s booth, this single gold‑finished piece stands apart from the 40‑unit collection not only for its craftsmanship but also for its purpose: 100% of proceeds from its sale will be donated to the Pan Pacific Conservation Foundation (PPCF) to support regional environmental protection and conservation efforts.
Inviting the Public into the Creation Process
Leading up to the main reveal on 29 April 2026, IF Coconut rolled out a series of public activations from 2 to 28 April 2026, inviting the community to participate directly in the recycling journey.
Members of the public also took part as Co-Creators to stand a chance to receive the ultra-limited IF-inity Fortune Merlion by:
- Contributing at least 30 IF bottles (labels removed and cleaned)
- Pre-registering by 17 April 2026.
- Dropping off the cleaned empty bottles between 21–22 April 2026.
From these submissions, the first five entries were selected, subject to meeting the eligibility and submission requirements, to receive the ultra-limited IF-inity Fortune Merlion. Selected Co-Creators will also be invited to attend the main event, where they will complete their collectible by injecting and “snapping” their IF Coconut Magnet onto the Merlion, marking the final step in transforming plastic waste into a finished piece of art.
Beyond the Co-Creator programme, members of the public can also participate as regular contributors by depositing any cleaned PET bottles at IF-inity recycling pods located at
- 6 Battery Road, Singapore, 049909
- 19 Tuas View Square, Singapore 637564
Registration for The IF-inity Movement event on 29 April can be completed via Eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.sg/e/the-if-inity-movement-tickets-1985795073521
“The IF-inity Movement was inspired by a simple belief – that small actions, when multiplied across a community, can drive meaningful environmental change. At IF Coconut, we saw an opportunity to transform everyday waste, such as plastic bottles and caps, into something purposeful. Through our collaboration with UNIPLAY and PLASTIFY, we are giving new life to discarded materials by reimagining them into commemorative collectibles inspired by the Merlion, an iconic symbol of Singapore. This initiative reflects our commitment to sustainability, and we hope it will inspire more people to embrace circular practices and contribute to a more sustainable future.” said Pongsakorn Pongsak, Chief Executive Officer of IFBH Limited.
The Grand Reveal: 40 Collectibles, One Community
The IF-inity Movement will culminate in a public event on 29 April 2026, which will feature the first unveiling of the IF-inity Fortune Merlion collectibles, alongside an interactive recycling experience led by PLASTIFY, where all attendees can “inject” and bring home their own IF Coconut Magnet in 30 seconds.
For the five selected Co-Creators eligible for the IF-inity Fortune Merlions, they will also take part in a special moment to complete their collectible by “snapping” the IF Coconut Magnets onto the Merlion, marking the final step in transforming waste into a finished piece of art.
The 40 Fortune Merlion collectibles are not available for retail and will be exclusively distributed as part of The IF-inity Movement, including a limited number allocated to selected Co-Creators from the public and one exclusive gold-edition at Pop Toy Show 2026.
Closing the Loop Through Waste and Merlion Metamorphosis
According to the National Environment Agency, in Singapore alone, 957 million kg of plastic waste was generated in 2024, with only 5% recycled. Against this backdrop, The IF-inity Movement aims to reframe waste not as an endpoint, but as the beginning of a new lifecycle, demonstrating how collective action, design, and innovation can come together to create impact.
At the heart of the initiative is a full lifecycle transformation process that converts post-consumer plastic into limited-edition collectibles. Through a multi-step journey, spanning bottle collection, shredding, material processing, filament production, and 3D printing, discarded plastics are reimagined into tangible works.
A total of 1,200 PET bottles and 600 HDPE caps (weighing 21.5kg in total) are recycled into 40 ultra-limited Fortune Merlion collectibles and accompanying IF Coconut Magnets. Each piece carries a symbolic narrative of renewal, transformation, and shared responsibility.
The IF-inity Movement brings together a network of collaborators across design, sustainability, and production. The Fortune Merlion collectible is crafted using PET plastic filaments by UNIPLAY, while PLASTIFY leads the recycling of HDPE bottle caps into the magnetic IF Coconut. Supporting partners include ASYPHER Studios (campaign strategist and orchestrators), Advance Recycling (plastic shredding and material recovery), Greenfinity (PET Plastic filament transformation), and PlasticTinkers (3D printing).

Hong Kong Disneyland Continues to Enhance Guest Experience Through Flexible Weather Adaptation Measures
From cooling facilities and shaded rest areas to flexible operational arrangements, the initiatives are designed to provide more choices and added ease for both guests and cast members during the summer months.
Additionally, HKDL has introduced an exclusive “Summer Chill” 4PM Ticket Offer for Hong Kong residents. Guests can enjoy the park from 4:00pm onwards, helping them avoid the hottest hours or periods of heavy rain, with prices starting at just HK$480.
Guests are also encouraged to stay hydrated and explore the resort’s wide selection of indoor attractions and entertainment offerings during the hottest hours of the day.
Weather-Conscious Design for a Better Guest Experience
The guest experience is supported by the resort’s planning and operations through a combination of environmental design and infrastructure enhancements. Disney Imagineers use detailed studies of sunlight, temperature, humidity and wind, supported by advanced computer simulations, to assess conditions across different areas of the park and guide design decisions.
For instance, Wayfinders’ Table in Adventureland was designed with sun exposure and ventilation needs in mind. Through the use of hard roof materials and thoughtful airflow planning, the design helps reduce heat buildup while providing shelter from rain.
Canopies, trees and fans are also used for the outdoor stage show “Moana: A Homecoming Celebration” to provide shade and added relief. The park also preserves and plants trees more extensively to provide additional natural shade.
Enhancing Infrastructure to Adapt to Changing Weather Conditions
HKDL has strengthened its guest-focused infrastructure to help improve airflow and provide added cooling support in various summer weather conditions. Energy-efficient ceiling fans operate at entrances and ticketing areas, while upgraded axial fans enhance airflow in queuing zones.
The park now features approximately 860 fans, with mobile units deployed flexibly to provide cooling support where they are needed most, particularly in high-traffic areas. Portable air-conditioning units have also been added in select outdoor zones to further support ventilation.
Mist cooling systems are also available at multiple outdoor locations, while additional shade structures have been added to queuing and dining areas.
Over 40 free water dispensers are provided across the resort, with nearly half already upgraded to dispense water 50% faster, helping guests rehydrate more conveniently throughout their visit.
Supporting Cast Members Through Changing Weather Conditions
With cast member safety as a top priority, HKDL continuously reviews operational measures to support frontline teams working outdoors in varying weather conditions. Cast members are dressed in outdoor costumes made with breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics, while additional rest breaks, hydration support and access to cooling facilities are provided during periods of extreme heat and humidity.
The resort closely monitors weather conditions and proactively adjusts outdoor show schedules whenever Heat Stress at Work Warnings are issued.
Disney Ambassadors also distribute electrolyte drink powder and chilled water bottles to frontline cast members working in outdoor areas.
Cooling Fun with Pixar Summer Fest
HKDL integrates cooling moments into storytelling. Guests can conveniently transition between a wide variety of indoor attractions, dining venues and entertainment offerings located throughout the resort, helping the magic continue in changing weather conditions.
The newly launched “Pixar Summer Fest” invites guests to beat the heat with immersive entertainment. The “Pixar Water Play Street Party!” welcomes guests to join beloved Pixar characters in a lively water parade, offering refreshing fun as part of the festive atmosphere.
Guests can also chill out with refreshing Pixar-themed treats, including Lime Dole Whip with Pineapple Slush Float at Jessie’s Snack Roundup, Monsters, Inc.-inspired Mike Wazowski Ice Cream Bar, Toy Story Alien Ice Cream Bar, and Sulley-inspired Mint Chocolate Flavored Soft Serve. These playful creations offer visual delight and refreshing summer treats for guests.
Exclusively for Hong Kong residents, the “Summer Chill” 4PM Ticket offers later entry to the park for just HK$480, allowing guests to enjoy an afternoon-to-evening “Pixar Summer Fest” experience.
