In Malaysia,the production of paper is dominated by packaging papers such as kraft paper, testliner and medium paper. Those products are produced by all the major paper companies; namely, GS Paper & Packaging Sdn. Bhd., Muda Paper Mills Sdn. Bhd., and Pascorp Paper Industries Sdn. Bhd. Apart from virgin pulp and wastepaper, paper can also be produced through the use of biomass. To date, Eco Palm Paper Sdn. Bhd. is the only company in operation to produce paper from empty fruit bunches (EFB).
MYBiomass Sdn. Bhd. (“MYBiomass”) was formed to capitalise on Malaysia’s existing strengths in the oil palm industry and untapped opportunities from biomass, for technological and economic gains. MYBiomass aims to attract the anticipated full-scale commercialisation of renewables or green technology R&D by global technology companies.
