Mirvac Retail Centres are embracing the change of season this September, bringing all things Spring to life for customers in a BIG way.
From trying a new look or cuisine, to big school holiday fun for the kids, something new for the home or even a health and wellness class – Mirvac Retail Centres will deliver it with Big Spring Energy from 1 September, along with the chance to win a $10,000 prize.
Mirvac is also partnering with RCYCL, one of Australia’s largest textile recyclers, to facilitate a big spring clean for its communities. RCYCL’s vision is to revolutionise the fashion industry through a clothing recycling program, with clothing that is unsuitable for reuse collected and recycled into new yarn or carpet underlay.
Mirvac’s General Manager – Retail, Kelly Miller said Big Spring Energy is about bringing everything Spring embodies into Mirvac Retail Centres in a way that energises retailers and customers alike.
“We’re bringing everything synonymous with Spring to life – the chance to reset and refresh when it comes to fashion with our RCYCL partnership, embrace something new from food to fashion, beauty or wellness, but above all, the chance to have fun for customers, and the opportunity for our retailers to showcase what they have to offer at the change of season.
“Our Centres will bring Spring to life in a variety of different ways to suit their local customer base. From styling and beauty workshops and school holiday craft, to cooking demos and masterclasses or pop-up picnics and outdoor yoga sessions, there really will be something for everyone,” said Miller.
“We are particularly excited to be working with RCYCL to facilitate recycling of garments that have reached the end of their wearable life cycle. At selected centres, customers can drop off their clothes for recycling, and at Greenwood Plaza in North Sydney, we are giving customers a $20 Greenwood Plaza Gift Card when they donate items.
“At Mirvac we are targeting zero waste to landfill by 2030, and this program extends our efforts even more broadly beyond minimising waste generated by our assets, to helping our local communities to do the same,” said Miller.
RCYCL Founder Belinda Paul said: “We love fashion, we all buy new items, now we can be responsible with the garments that do not make the cut after our wardrobe spring clean out. If items cannot be donated, what do we do with them? Working alongside Mirvac to reduce landfill is a great opportunity to educate everyone that there is a simple solution to the clothing we have at home, that would normally go in the bin. RCYCL was established to empower all of us as lovers of fashion.”
Mirvac Retail’s Big Spring Energy theme is being rolled out across its retail destinations in Queensland, NSW, Victoria and the ACT with each centre hosting a full program of events and activities tailored to their community.
