Jord is a new centralised directory of sustainable brands in Hong Kong

In case you missed it, last month, we met high-schooler James Wang, co-founder of the new startup Jord. Jord is an online platform aggregating sustainable brands and products into one centralised directory, making it easier for Hongkongers to shop and consume more sustainably. Jord operates according to a set of strict criteria, including but not limited to carbon neutrality plans, responsible sourcing practices, sustainable packaging, phasing out of unsustainable goods like plastic, and the use of renewables or carbon offsetting in their operations. The website even features an interactive simulator to discover sustainable alternatives for your home! We love anything that takes the guesswork out of conscious consumerism, so this innovative startup gets two green thumbs up from us.

Taking place at The American Club in Tai Tam, this public event will see some of the city’s best eco business under one roof, offering more than 1,000 items of pre-loved clothing for sale (its on the Southside so you know the pickings will be good!) in support of three local charities: ImpactHK, RUN HK and Chatteris Educational Foundation. In addition to secondhand finds, you’ll also find new fashion and lifestyle items donated by the likes of Whistles, Rue Madame, Frey and Tove & Libra (pictured), as well as stalls from niin, beCandle, HULA, Naked Lab, Paper-Roses and more. Entry is $250 for early bird and $300 standard, and included a goodie bag from L’Oreal worth more than $1,000. Book your tickets now!
