Welcome to another chapter of Green Business Stories by TGP. Malai, founded by Susmith and Zuzana, transforms discarded coconut water into a durable, leather-like alternative for fashion. By rescuing thousands of litres of waste that would otherwise pollute soil and water, they’ve built a material that is toxin-free, circular, and rooted in innovation.
The Green Pillar celebrates Malai’s journey of scaling sustainably, proving that fashion doesn’t have to cost the Earth. Their work shows us that solutions to global challenges can begin with everyday resources, and that reimagining waste may be the future of design.
