Berde

Berde was born out of my simple desire to switch to a bamboo toothbrush. After plunging into this green world I was so curious and passionate about, I was taken aback by how overwhelming it was. There were so many choices, with varying price points, with multiple brands–and just for one product. 

My first instinct was to find a middle ground and buy it in bulk to get a bit of discount. That’s how I committed to this switch and bought my first 60 brushes. I took this opportunity to start this passion project. I thought of selling the extra brushes, and if I didn’t, well, I was quite ready to use my bamboo brushes for the next  few years.

Fast forward to today, Berde houses not just products, but other brands that share the same mission as ours. We’ve also taken it a step further to acknowledge that there is no such thing as a perfect zero-waste life. So we make room for that now, and recognize that even the smallest changes do make a big impact. And that is enough. The goal is not to simply live without waste, but to practice minimal thinking and mindful living.
