Founder and executive director, Sead Industries
Impact enterprise Sead Industries, which comprises Sead Build and Sead Plant, uses the renewable benefits of bamboo to tackle the sustainability crisis in the construction industry. Founded by Lucas Loo and Toh Hua-Jie, the company restores degraded land with bamboo agro-forestry, trains indigenous communities to become its bamboo harvesting stewards and turns the bamboo produced into building materials. Before this, Lucas ran a resort in Banting, Selangor that was constructed using bamboo.
