OUR MISSION

#DitchTheTissue And Save The Trees

Our mission to reduce tissue and paper waste is more important than ever, the pandemic is driving an increase in paper waste generated from online shopping and food deliveries. 

​

According to the National Environment Agency, paper and cardboard waste was the largest waste stream in Singapore in 2020, increasing by 13 per cent from 1.01 to 1.14 million tonnes just in a year. Recycling rate also fell by 44 percent, with collection drives and programs being curbed for safety reasons due to the pandemic.

our story

Limay and Ivy were in a bar while travelling in Bali, (remember travelling?) shooting the breeze and lamenting about how the world can be a better place. After a few more cocktails, the buddies came up with this project, a fun way to tackle a serious waste issue, one hanky at a time.

the ORIGINAL buddies

IVY | marketing

Ivy knows everybody who's anybody. She knows how to tell the story and who to tell it to. But after a few drinks, she tells the same story to just about anybody who will listen.

Limay | designer
 

Limay is half city chick,  half hippie-wannabe. She lives in a countryside of China with her husband, son and cat, often roaming the mountains looking for inspiration and mushrooms.
