Together, we can help reduce plastic waste.
Join us in our sustainability journey.
We’re in a plastic crisis. Eight million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year (2015 estimate), with the Philippines as one of the top contributors.
However, there has been an eco-awakening globally and locally. Concern for nature has increased globally by 16% over the past 5 years. Locally, more and more Filipinos are taking action to offset their impact on the environment. 74% of Filipino shoppers are willing to invest and support brands that promote a sustainable lifestyle. 54% of Filipino households are eco-actives and considerers.

In the food packaging industry, there’s simply no easy option to opt-out of single-use packaging when ordering for delivery or take-out. Many “eco-friendly” solutions are subpar. Lots of paper-based containers have plastic linings, while some truly compostable ones don’t hold food well. Bringing your own packaging is also only possible for in-person orders. Given the rise of online orders, people can’t send their own containers to restaurants.
Cloudwash was formed to help solve this problem.
We want to push sustainable consumer behavior, beginning with reusable food packaging. We’re building an ecosystem of partners and services to help this vision come true. We provide a service where every time you order food for delivery or take-out, Cloudwash containers are used by the restaurant. These reusable containers come back to us, and we sanitize them and return them to the restaurants.
Alfred Gatchalian, Founder
Alfred started in the food packaging business in Singapore 25 years ago. He then expanded the company into a global packaging business supplying to top QSR Brands in over 30+ countries, with offices and manufacturing sites in the US, China, Philippines and Malaysia.
In the last few years, Alfred saw the challenges of mismanaged waste, and the need to get the consumers and merchants to be involved with leading the change. He started BlueSkye, a company that makes it easier for Restaurants and Consumers to transition towards a more sustainable lifestyle thru a platform of solutions.
Cloudwash is the next step in of the evolution where we give the consumers the power to lead in driving change in their consumption of single-use packaging. Our vision is to bring together like minded consumers and merchants who want to effect change in our community, and make it easy for them to choose to minimize the use of single-use packaging through the CloudWash platform.
