SINGAPORE - While sustainability seems to be the buzzword in the food and beverage industry, bartender and "zero-waste" pioneer Ryan Chetiyawardana, or Mr Lyan as he is better known, notes that there is a bit of "greenwashing" going on.
"But I liken it to charity a little bit. I would love everyone to have ethical motivations... but the reality is some people do it for a tax break or whatever it is," says Mr Chetiyawardana, speaking to The Straits Times.
