Green by Mak Nyonya

This is an industry brief with Mak Nyonya.

Each day, Malaysians discard 16,000 tonnes of food, which could feed 12 million people a day so how can a sauce be an advocate for food wastage and sustainability?

The aim of this project is to establish Mak Nyonya as a brand that not only offers flavorful sauces but also demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability. We seek to share stories about Mak Nyonya's sustainability efforts, enabling people to discover that the brand has evolved into a trusted name in this aspect.

To kickstart this initiative, we introduce "Green by Mak Nyonya," a sub-brand that specifically focuses on sustainability. As a first step, we have implemented portioned sachets for our sauces, catering to different family sizes and minimizing wastage. Additionally, the outer pouches have been designed to be sealable, allowing for reuse and bringing sustainability to the forefront of the packaging.

By taking these environmentally conscious measures, Mak Nyonya aims to convey its dedication to sustainable practices, encouraging customers to make more sustainable choices while enjoying the brand's delicious sauces.
