Two men walk into a bar, one orders a drink while the other already has his own cup ready – and we’re not joking. This is certainly the latest phenomenon on our Singaporean streets, where a significant number of consumers are becoming eco-conscious with metal straws and lunchboxes, while some still remain oblivious to the need for such a movement. We would like to believe that what sparked this positive change is NGO Zero Waste SG, which has actively created conversations about eliminating waste and the three Rs.
To further nudge the demographic towards their mission, they kickstarted a Bring Your Own (BYO) Campaign that partnered with over 800 retail outlets to provide discounts for those that bring their own reusables. This not only rewards those already contributing towards sustainability but also encourages more Singaporeans to do so.
So whether you are an environmental activist, a turtle lover, or just hunting for ways to save money, here are 45 outlets that would aid both the earth and your bank balance:
1. Toast Box
Even the local contemporary coffee chain with Singaporean home favourites is on board the eco-friendly train. Known for their robust Nanyang coffee, you can now enjoy this nostalgic cuppa on with a SGD0.10 discount if you bring your own tumbler or cup to their Clementi Mall outlet.
Although this may not seem much at first, these ten cents a day can save you over SGSD30 in a year! This is almost a metaphor for an individual’s environmental efforts that may seem insignificant at first but plays into a great benefit in the long run.
As recommended on their website, here are how big your cups should be for each size of coffee:
Small – 230ml
Medium – 290ml
Large – 350ml.

40. Woobbee
With a name derived from the Chinese word ‘无比’ (Wu Bi), which translates to unparalleled, this local bubble tea startup brings to the scene concoctions of fresh brewed tea, flavoured milk teas as well as yakult and yogurt mixes. All their drinks are also made with only raw sugar, which alleviates the post bubble tea guilt. Perhaps the most raved item would be the Caramel Milk Tea and the Fresh Juice Apple Yakult, which you can enjoy at SGD0.30 off when you bring your own cup.
If you are wondering how to enjoy the chewy tapioca pearls if you were to use your own bottle, fret not as Woobbee sells stainless steel straws that are thick enough for pearls to flow through. They also offer a recycled PPK (pipakao) bottle, which is not only an innovative way of practicing the three Rs but also offers customers a SGD0.30 discount off cold M-size drinks!
