Nextgreen Global Berhad (NGGB), a pulp and paper manufacturer, launched a sustainable green product in a ceremony at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre today.
The new environmentally friendly tissue paper and pulp moulded (food grade) products made from empty fruit bunches were produced using the breakthrough Preconditioning Refiner Chemical-Recycle Bleached Mechanized Pulp (PRC-RMBP) technology.
NGGB managing director Datuk Lim Thiam Huat said that the company is delighted to launch our environmentally friendly tissue paper and food grade products.
“The effective utilisation of EFB as the material for tissue paper and pulp moulded products aligns with our direction to contribute substantially towards a greener global economy.
“Notably, our EFB virgin pulp and paper is certified with SIRIM Eco-Labelling Scheme and MyHijau certification by MGTC. This evidences our pursuit towards creating a sustainable circular economy.
Lim said the company remains committed towards the transformation of oil palm biomass into various downstream products, in line with the aspirations of the Plantation and Commodities minister Datuk Sri Fadillah Yusof.
The launching was in conjunction with the International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia 2023 (IGEM).
IGEM was organised by the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change (NRECC) and Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC).
It was officiated by NRECC deputy minister Datuk Sri Huang Tiong Sii.
