Hikari-4Ps Edutainment Hub

This is Hikari-Pizza 4P’s Eco-edutainment Hub, a project that aims to create a sustainable commercial complex to demonstrate the environmental and social benefits of a circular economy and a sustainable lifestyle. Located in center of Binh Duong New City, a large-scale urban development project in an industrial area of Vietnam, the project consists of two main components: Hikari Complex and Pizza 4P’s restaurant. <Place to approach Eco-food cycle with tenants> Hikari Complex, developed by Becamex Tokyu, is a building and landscape that houses 15 F&B brands to share the eco-friendly vision. The complex incorporates various eco-friendly elements, such as solar panels, waste management, and greenery spaces as well as an eco-food cycle with composting food waste, aquaponics, and edible landscape and to promote local culture and community engagement through events and activities. These eco-cycle ideas are developed in cooperation with Pizza 4P’s. <Visualizing Eco-material cycle on tenant level> Pizza 4P’s creates the first zero-waste restaurant in Vietnam in this complex to reduce the environmental impact of food production and consumption with Hikari complex. The restaurant uses recycled materials for its design and construction, such as recycled plastic panels, earth bricks, wine bottles, reused steel, wood, and concrete. Besides, the restaurant shows up a separate garbage collection room for guests' observation. The restaurant’s eco-cycles are a way of edutainment for guests, who can learn about sustainable practices while enjoying the garden scenery. <Eco-edutainment Hub for new city's lifestyle toward future age> Eco-food and eco-material cycles were commonly seen in Vietnamese country villages with efficient and low energy living styles. Idea of an eco-edutainment Hub is to share experience and vision of sustainability with customers and community through entertainment space with an educational approach to encourage more people to adopt a sustainable lifestyle and contribute to development of a new city.
