“Food shortage is a real problem, and plastic waste continues to grow in our urban society, so it is always beneficial to find solutions that can resolve both at the same time,” adds Leung.

The judges noted that a big part of sustainability lies in the return to green habits, like growing vegetables and flowering plants in our own urban spaces, and the video appropriately reflected this
“Sustainability needs to be an intergenerational effort and the TikTok Challenge is a good way to engage our youth and get them on board. The short video format also allows our participants to let their creativity flow, as seen from the variety of entries we received,” said Ted Koh, Practice Manager, CrossBorders LLC.
The TikTok Sustainability Challenge is part of OrangeTee’s ongoing long-term sustainability commitment to “Go Green”. Its sustainability movement also focuses on three other distinct areas – social impact, responsible business practices, and technology and innovation.
