We’re delighted to welcome Manon Beauchamp-Tardieu the Founder and CEO of Little Green Panda, a Melbourne-based sustainable packaging company focused on creating innovative products designed to replace traditional single-use plastics made from food waste.   Originally from France, Manon moved to Australia and began building Little Green Panda while still at university.

What started as a side hustle has grown into a rapidly expanding business supplying cafes, hospitality groups and retailers, with a strong focus on developing packaging made from plant-based and food waste materials that are designed to disappear naturally like a piece of fruit in 90 days.

Manon was first introduced to the Rotary Club of Melbourne in 2022 when she attended the Food Waste and the Environment luncheon, where she was also honoured to receive the Rotary Melbourne Environmental Sustainability Commendation Award.

Following this, she remained closely connected to the Rotary community and has now officially joined as a member. Manon is passionate about sustainability, women in business and entrepreneurship, and is looking forward to contributing to Rotary initiatives and connecting with fellow members.

Welcome to Rotary Melbourne, Manon! We’re delighted to have you with us.
