How these Malaysia’s homegrown brands are helping to start a greener living?
Sustainability is on everyone’s lips. More than just a trend, it evolves into a lifestyle movement that encourages us to reduce the environmental footprint we are leaving behind.
Leading a sustainable lifestyle always starts from rethinking how and what we decide to "add to cart", and lucky us, there’s no lack of designers and brands in Malaysia committed to making this planet a better place.
Here, we list down a few of the Malaysian homegrown brands for you to take that baby step into a greener living.
