One very simple change can make a very big difference if we all make a conscious choice not to use plastic!

Straws are usually used for a few minutes then discarded. Once in the environment, the plastic never degrades but breaks into tiny particles that harms the wildlife in the ocean. 

We want to further support this initiative and are piloting this project by offering metal straws which will soon be available at all outlets in hope to reduce the use of single use plastic. This is one of many initiatives that SaladStop! undertakes in making a positive change to the environment.

If you bring back your metal straw and cup we will give you a $1 OFF all our smoothies!

Community Outreach 2018

We got our hands dirty with the team at ACRES!

Living in Singapore, it is really easy to forget that we share this little island with so many animals. On the one hand, it is disheartening to know that we are often the direct cause of distress to these animals but on the other hand, however, it is inspiring to hear that organisations, such as ACRES, are trying to help.

We got the chance to spend the afternoon with the team at ACRES and help with some of the tasks on hand like putting enclosures together, planting trees and participated in the one hour class room session about animal welfare and how we can all make a difference as individuals by making small changes in our daily lives.

 At the end of the day, it is education that can help change the situation for animals in Singapore and in the region.

Repackaging our degradable bags as vehicles of positive change

All proceeds from the sale of our degradable bags goes to ACRES, an environmental welfare organisation in Singapore that rescues and rehabilitates animals confiscated from the illegal wildlife trade in Singapore. A charge of 10 cents for the bags would raise awareness, deter consumption of plastic bags and help to reduce environmental costs. 

We hope that this one small change can bring about a significant positive impact - by possibly reducing the number of plastic bags that are taken in our stores, by getting our customers to be more conscious about their use of plastic, and hopefully by encouraging customers to start carrying their own reusable bags. So, help us make a positive change by refusing our degradable plastic bags or by bringing your own reusable bag.
