Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste are being disposed into the ocean and landfills, contaminating ecosystems and endangering wildlife. Thousands of marine animals are killed after ingesting plastic or getting entangled in it. Furthermore, plastic is not biodegrade and can only be broken down into small particles known as microplastics which is toxic to humans in large amounts.
We believe small changes leads to big impact. Since April 2020, Greendot has been incentivizing customers with a 20-cent discount when they bring their own containers for takeaway orders. Additionally, Greendot has been actively encouraging patrons to reduce their reliance on single-use cutlery and plastic bags through both verbal reminders and visual cues such as displaying posters in-store.
To promote sustainability and provide customers with more environmentally conscious options, we have launched Greendot merchandise series including reusable tumblers, mugs and tote bags! Designed as sustainable solutions for everyday needs, we hope to encourage more people to embrace eco-friendly living!
These measures reflect Greendot’s commitment to sustainability and reducing its environmental footprint. Join us on the journey of going green today, together we can make a positive impact on our planet!
