Following the completion of Nextgreen’s first successful research and development project on Sustainable Food Packaging Material from Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) Cellulosic Fibre Extracted Using Hybrid-Chemical-Mechanical Thermal Process in 2022, the research and development team participated in a series of International Workshop co-organized by Universiti Putra Malaysia and Bangor University, United Kingdom. These workshops were held on February 13 -14, 2023 at the Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia. The International Workshop on Introduction to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) featured 3 experts of LCA who shared their knowledge and expertise with Malaysian researchers. Meanwhile, the International Workshop on Sustainable and Biocompostable Packaging brought together researchers to discuss the latest advances in the production of sustainable packaging. Through this workshop, the R&D team members gain information on the types of sustainable packaging that universities are developing right now, as well as what is currently available on the market.
