Tapi setelah lewat 2 minggu, mulai deh berasa bosan dan jenuh.

Our Journey Towards Sustainable Packaging

Our Journey Towards Sustainable Packaging

I remember in high school, our science teacher would always give us projects using the ‘PHEOC’ steps: Problem, Hypothesis, Experiment, Observation, and Conclusion. Never in my wildest imagination, I would ever use this again in my adult life. Now, before we dissect the Problem, I would like to give you a glimpse on how and why is this important for us. TEMA has been around for a year as of this month (yay!). Since the beginning, we aim to be a brand that is sustainable, environmentally-friendly and produce locally.
