How We Started Going Plastic-free

Updated: Jul 19, 2019

When Lub d Siem Reap starts going green, here are some sharing from us of how we made small steps towards making a better place!




What change do you want to see in this world? As they always say, start with yourself first. This is how Lub d Cambodia Siem Reap began engaging in several initiatives to sort out the over-use of plastic materials and roll out some actions to create a better environment for all of us in a long run. 🌿☘️🍀🎄


It began with the Plastic Free July initiative from Plastic Free SEA where both Lub d Cambodia Siem Reap and The Little Red Fox Bar & Cafe at Lub d found the huge opportunity to participate and contribute to the community.


Some of the “NO Plastic” initiatives taken:


🍀 Only glass bottles are used in Lub d Siem Reap Private Rooms. One of the key concepts here is to stop small wastes from adding up over a period of time. For now we've saved over hundred thousands of plastic bottles going into the ocean!



🍀 All takeaway food packaging is bio-degradable.

🍀 There are no plastic straws here – only metal or paper straws for guests.


Metal straws are the best!

🍀 After cooking, our used cooking oil is donated to Naga Earth, the supplier that creates positive changes in Cambodia through creative environmental projects.

🍀 We work with Refill Not Landfill with our Lub d branded bottles, for people to carry around instead of using plastic bottles!


🍀 Takeaway plastic bags are made from cassava plants from Cleanbodia

🍀 Even our takeaway coffee carry holders are made from fabric material!

🍀 Upcoming partnered with Rehash Trash to become a collection point for used plastic bags, that they then work into a whole range of items available for purchase. A fantastic social enterprise that we are excited to partner with!!!

🍀 Keep learning and finding new ways to go greener, by learning from Plastic Free SEA who holds regular workshops in our meeting room upstairs – for more info please check their page.


In early July 2019, Lub d Cambodia Siem Reap teamed up with other people and communities which shared the same passion, in supporting of Siem Reap Cleaning // Plastic Free July Campaign to raise awareness of how plastic is really destroying our beautiful city!
