Our Background
Brambe integrates the passions of an environmentalist and an architect in sustainability and design. It was formed with the vision of reducing locally incinerated wastes and to spread awareness of the large amounts of wastes we produce.
Bernie, 27 Masters of Architecture, NUS Amanda, 24 Bachelor of Environmental Studies, NUSUpcycling wastes
We specialize in design customization of handcrafted and eco-friendly products. Wastes such as plastics and used coffee grounds are upcycled into small to large scale products such as homewares, awards and furniture.
Our Ecosystem
Zero-waste
We employ a cradle-to-cradle process where any disposed products and excess material can be reincorporated as inputs for future production. This allows us to achieve a zero-waste process at every stage of our production.
