Bamboo Straw Girl

Bamboo Straw Girl works directly with makers (fair-trade) and focuses on producing meaningful lifestyle products that are low-impact from production to delivery and usage.

The founder Melissa Lam aims at engaging eco conversations, starting with the simple bamboo straw. The novel item became a small ripple at the beginning of the growth of the zero-waste movement in Singapore. Melissa is a TedX speaker and actively promotes the environmental message through her school and corporate talks. With her team, she focuses on waste reduction and on impacting the communities of artisans they work with in South East Asia.

The company conducts corporate talks, lunchtime info sessions, educational workshops, and pop-up retail booths. They also produce corporate gifts that are curated to suit the corporate theme and guide their clients in selecting the most relevant item to promote their green message.
