Our Story: A Mission for Sustainability
Sileco was born from a simple yet pressing question: Why isn’t there a better alternative to disposable plastic bags?
For Grace, this question struck during one of her international trips. As a frequent traveler, she relied on plastic Ziploc bags to store personal items in her handbag—convenient but short-lived. After tossing yet another worn-out plastic bag, she had a lightbulb moment: What if there was a durable, reusable, and leak-proof solution that didn’t contribute to plastic waste?
More Consciousness, Less Waste
Back home, Grace became even more aware of the plastic waste her family generated—especially after moving into an apartment complex built on reclaimed wasteland, where waste disposal wasn’t just inconvenient but a daily reminder of how much trash was being produced. Without a bin chute, every trip to the dumpster reinforced a harsh reality: recycling alone wasn’t enough. With less than 13% of plastics actually being recycled, much of it still ended up polluting waterways and threatening wildlife. In a country surrounded by beautiful oceans, the impact of single-use plastics on marine life felt even more urgent.
Determined to be part of the solution, Grace started small—by reusing plastic bags—but knew a more sustainable, long-term answer was needed.
Action for A Sustainable Future
Then in 2020, amid the challenges of a global pandemic and the life-changing experience of becoming a mother, she launched Sileco. Thinking about her son’s future and the world he would inherit, she committed to creating safe, durable, and eco-conscious products that help families reduce waste without compromising on convenience.
What began with a reusable silicone Ziploc bag has since evolved into a collection of 100% LFGB-certified premium silicone lightweight cookware and storage solutions—designed for those who value healthy eating, space-saving organization, and environmental responsibility.
At Sileco, we believe in making sustainability practicable, though not always perfect. Our mission is simple: less waste, more consciousness, and a better planet for future generations.
