There is an ample opportunity to convert the available lignocellulosic biomass residues from oil palm mills into pulp and paper, particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, and composites.

Our customer from Thailand - TGP has successfully produced a high-grade paper pulp from an empty fruit bunch(EFB) of oil palm. Making paper pulp from EFB is cost-efficient as the raw material is virtually free in producing palm oil.

With an estimated 300 million tons of EFB disposed of every year, the company said it sees a huge opportunity to develop the market. It says its green innovation is highly cost-efficient and is competitive with other non-tree pulp materials and could offer a return on investments to investors and producers in the first year of operations.

Our EFB long fiber extractor served in their factory for making paper pulp since the year 2013.
