SUSTAINABLE BEESWAX FOOD WRAPS

At SustainableSG, we retail sustainable products such as our popular beeswax wraps. Made with 100% natural and sustainable materials, the beeswax wraps are environmentally friendly, washable, reusable and compostable. An eco-friendly alternative to plastic cling wraps, these wraps hold their shapes well on surfaces and keep foods fresh, making them a versatile necessity for your daily living. From the beeswax wraps to the award-winning packaging, all of them are uniquely designed and created by designers in Singapore.

SUSTAINABLE BAMBOO COOKING SPOONS

SustainableSG’s Bamboo Cooking Spoons set was created with sustainability in mind. They are presented in recyclable corrugated fiberboard packaging. It has a 40% reduction in material usage compared to traditional packaging, thanks to its clever tri-side design. The packaging, secured with a single brass screw, is not only sturdy but can be recycled or repurposed with a lower carbon footprint.

COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL DESIGNERS

Unique and visually captivating in the wide variety of designs, SustainableSG's eco-friendly products are meticulously designed by local designers, each with its own story to tell. The beeswax wraps span two collections, including So Singapore and Asian Heritage inspired by the cultural norms present in the little red dot that's Singapore and different traditions and histories that built Asia.
