PLASTIC – RESOURCE, NOT WASTE
You can help conserve our planet's resources.
Don't throw away your plastic products - we'll recycle them.
As part of our commitment to the environment, we use up to 25% recycled plastic to create bottles in our Vivilen packaging.

PARTNERSHIP PROJECT
In the spring of 2020, the largest Russian hotel chain AZIMUT Hotels and the leader of the Russian oil and gas chemical industry SIBUR launched a joint environmental project "Plastic is not trash". The companies organized separate plastic collection and made cosmetics packaging fully recyclable. In 2023, the project reached a new stage of development: the AZIMUT Hotels chain switched to bottles made of Vivilen - polymer granules for packaging with recycled plastic from SIBUR. Now the previously collected plastic is getting a new life.

RECYCLING PROCESS
How plastic waste turned into an art object
In June, an art-object "Da Vinci Dome" made of recycled plastic appeared in the lobby of the AZIMUT Hotel Smolenskaya.

Its base is filled empty cosmetic bottles, which AZIMUT Hotels transfers for recycling. The collected plastic waste was also used to make the dome. The sustainable structure of the dome symbolizes the principles of sustainable design.

The art object is a prime example of how the circular economy works. The clean planet is everyone's responsibility, especially when travelling.

The creators of the art object - Andrey Chumakov, Alexey Guskov, Sergey Smirnov, Varvara Cherkasova - are participants of the first school for plastic recycling "SIBUR Circularity". In addition to the art installation, 30 students created a number of household items from recycled plastic.
