Indo Innovation - Green Butcher

Food Meets Climate Podcast with Simon Newstead

After returning to Indonesia from her studies abroad, Helga realised just how few plant-based options were available for her and others that wished to live an animal-free lifestyle. In a bid to change this together with her partner Max, she cofounded Burgreens which has now grown to be Indonesia’s leading plant-based restaurant chain. Several years later, Helga and her partner are cofounding another business, Green Butcher, a startup focussed on creating tasty vegan meats for the Asian palette. In this episode we discuss more about the alternative protein market in Indonesia, changing attitudes and perceptions of the public, the brand’s recently announced partnership with Starbucks, and other future collaborations that lay ahead for the team.
