The circular economy has become a crucial factor in doing business as consumers are aware of the major social issues, deforestation, plastic pollution, climate change, and poverty. In the Nielsen survey, 66 percent of global consumers are committed to paying for sustainable products with strong social and environmental impact.

The circular economy is valued at US$4.5 trillion business opportunity towards a sustainable future. We are a manufacturer of circular and eco-friendly products from renewable source Bamboo, Reusable Bamboo Drinking Straw, Bamboo Toothbrush, Bamboo Ice Tea, and Bamboo Charcoal Briquettes with a potential market of US$57 Billion. And, we are targeting to get 1% share by 2030 or US$ 570 million and 5% by 2040 or US$ 2.8 Billion.

To date we uplifted 52 families of farmers out of poverty, has eliminated approximately 424,000 pounds of plastic, mitigated 5.6 million pounds of CO2, and reforested 542 hectares of forest. Our 2030 goal is to uplift the lives of 500,000 families of farmers and plant 1 Billion Bamboo.
