Sabah as the Centre of Oil Palm Waste Downstream Industries

摘要

Lahad Datu affirms itself as the nation's centre for downstream economic activities where oil palm waste is used to manufacture pulp and paper. Manufacturing of fibre reinforcing composites, block board, plywood, moulded particle board and medium density fibre board is also suitable in this region due to the large amount of available palm biomass. According to the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM), there is also probability for the manufacture of various types of vitamins and supplements as well as personal care products such as soap and shampoo, candles, crayon, detergents, cosmetics, lubricants and polyurethane.
