Excitement is building for our Environment Lunch on June 11, where we’ll present the 2025 Rotary Melbourne Environment Award! 
As
we get ready to celebrate this year’s changemakers, we’re cheering on one of our past stars: Manon Beauchamp-Tardieu, who received a Special Commendation in 2022 for her trailblazing business, Little Green Panda - and she’s on fire right now!
“It’s been a long time coming… Little Green Panda is expanding internationally and we couldn’t be prouder! 
Our first containers are officially on their way overseas!
A big milestone for our team — and just the beginning too. 
Can’t wait to reveal where we’re headed next!”
And talk about high-profile moments…
Dua Lipa was spotted sipping from an LGP straw at a Fitzroy café they supply — a surreal reminder of how far this small Aussie startup has come.
LGP also hit the fast lane, featured throughout the Formula One Grand Prix — from buzzing bars to exclusive VIP lounges.
Their compostable straws were in the hands of thousands of guests all weekend long. No sogginess. No plastic. Just smooth, sustainable sipping.
“Eco-friendly choices don’t have to compromise on quality or experience.”
Cheers to Manon and the Little Green Panda team for proving that innovation, impact, and a touch of glamour can go hand in hand.
We can’t wait to honour more sustainability legends on June 11. Join us!
