Oil palm recycling project pays off for Yeo


HER inquisitive nature and never-up spirit have propelled Yeo Kim Luang to achieve success in the recycling and oil palm biomass by-products processing business. 

In 1996, Yeo was excited about her invention from oil palm waste, Ecomat after about four years of research. Unfortunately, the first generation of Ecomat, an oil palm biomass-based mat made of empty fruit bunches used for soil erosion prevention, was not well received back then.However, that did not dampen her spirit.
