For supporting : Plastics Tar Road Production

Development of new material

• Developing environmental friendly material for specific application, to reduce plastics waste

– Compound of Polyethylene/ Polypropylene / Polystyrene with starch

• Developing surfactant to make good mixing of plastics and starch

– Enzymatically produced bio plastics

Standard

• Established Eco-label Verification Agency, which is registered at Ministry of Environment

• Give Eco-label by verification of industrial product

• Currently there are 10 application processed
