Sunway XFarms

Did you know that Malaysia only produces 45% of the total amount of produce we consume? Given the growing population, especially in dense urban areas, Sunway XFarms at Sunway City Kuala Lumpur is doing its part to tackle food security through the principles of local self-sufficiency.

Sunway XFarms uses zero pesticides and non-GMO seeds for all its produce. But what really distinguishes Sunway XFarms from the rest is how it goes one step further to leverage data and technology in its smart farm ecosystem to further increase productivity and reduce resources used. Upon harvest, it gets delivered to your doorstep under five hours in sustainable packaging, ensuring greater freshness and quality while reducing food miles from transportation.

There is also a self-pick-up option for Sunway XFarms customers on Fridays in five different locations around Sunway City Kuala Lumpur.

Lush

Lush Cosmetics is devoted to creating fresh, ethically sourced, cruelty-free, vegan, handmade, low-waste yet effective products. Their mission is to give back to the community and to promote sustainable practices within the cosmetics industry.

Since 2007, they have been running the “Charity Pot” programme – where 100% sales from a special hand and body cream made from ingredients sourced from the Sustainable Lush Fund projects that support regenerative agriculture around the world, is donated as grants to small grassroots organisations to aid in campaigns and works related to animal protection, environmental conservation, and human rights.

Additionally, the packaging for the Charity Pot can be returned to Lush where it is recycled through Lush’s “Bring it Back” recycling program. Lush customers that exchange any individual Lush packaging item are entitled to RM0.50 off their in-store purchases or they can exchange five clean black pots for a fresh face mask.

Ăn Viet

According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), an estimated 17% of food is wasted in retail and at the consumption level. With that in mind, Ăn Viet made it their mission to stop hunger by minimising food wastage – honouring some common Vietnamese culinary culture such as frugality and whole animal utilisation – harnessing creative preparation methods to avoid wastage.

At Ăn Viet, customers are encouraged to choose portions that they can finish. With every empty bowl, RM0.10 will be donated to support the operations of Food Aid Foundation, a local NGO Food Bank that rescues surplus food for people in need.

At any point in time, if customers have selected a portion that is insufficient, they are always welcomed to top up to the largest portion at no additional charge. Customers are also able to harvest just what they need from the fresh basil leaf pot and customise their dishes with their preferred condiments at the Basil & Condiment Bar.

Feeling hungry? Head over to Ăn Viet for some delicious Vietnamese cuisine while contributing to a good cause.

Adelynnc

Founded in 2017, Adelynnc is a Singaporean fashion brand that is breaking boundaries to create beautiful, ethical, sustainable, and cruelty-free bags as well as shoes. Technological advancement has paved the way for how polymers can be constructed from recycled materials such as cork, fruit waste and plastics, allowing for lighter and equally durable products comparable to leather. Adelynnc has decided to challenge the fashion norm by utilising recycled plastic and 100% vegan leather for its star products.

The aim? To replace all major materials used for the brand with eco-friendly alternatives recycled materials by 2023.

In addition, Adelynnc only works with factories that are certified by GRS (Global Recycling Standards) and the Oeko-Tex Standard, which means all their partners have been audited by the authorities to ensure fair working standards and worker wages are maintained and all the materials used are traceable.
