SLP to produce eco-friendly packaging materials

Group managing director Kelvin Khaw(pic) told StarBiz that the new production facility would increase the monthly capacity to 2,300 tonnes per month from 2,000 tonnes per month previously.

GEORGE TOWN: SLP Resources Bhd will introduce eco-friendly flexible packaging materials into a market that is projected to grow to US$6.12bil by 2023.

Group managing director Kelvin Khaw told StarBiz that the group has to get ready to produce such packaging materials as China has since a year ago enacted a plastic waste import ban, in an attempt to cut down on millions of tonnes of plastic and other recyclables they receive every year.
