“Ben’s Café: Savoring Sustainability, One Bite at a Time”

#earthdayjourney Ben’s Café, located in Mid Valley Megamall, exemplifies green sustainable dining through several impactful initiatives: Reducing Plastic Use: Since 2017, Ben’s has eliminated plastic straws across all outlets, promoting the use of reusable alternatives. They also offer food-grade paper packaging and encourage customers to bring their own containers, providing discounts as incentives.  Sourcing Local Ingredients: Approximately 64% of their ingredients and 52% of toppings are sourced from highland farmers, emphasizing freshness and supporting local agriculture. This practice reduces transportation emissions and supports the local economy.   Promoting a Greener Mindset: Ben’s is committed to expanding plant-based, carbon-neutral meals and ingredients in their menu, aiming to become a fully carbon-neutral chain by 2030. They collaborate with environmental champions like Sustenir and Phuture to provide healthy and eco-friendly meal options.  These efforts reflect Ben’s Café’s dedication to environmental stewardship and fostering a sustainable dining culture.
