Go green with OCBC
Recycle your red packets at any OCBC Branch

Since last year, we have encouraged customers to recycle their red packets by providing recycling boxes at our branches that are also made of recycled materials. This year, customers can once again join us in our efforts to reduce carbon emissions by recycling their red packets from 15 to 26 February 2021.

Customers can drop both used and excess red packets into these boxes at all our branches across Singapore. The red packets and recycling boxes will be pulped to be made into products such as cardboard boxes. Last year, we collected 4,000 kg of red packets and these were pulped to make 10,411 cardboard boxes.
