Palm is a pillar industry in Malaysia and Indonesia. The output of palm oil reaches 60 million tons, accounting for more than 80% of the world output. Hundreds of millions of tons of palm residue can not be effectively utilized, and a large number of palm residues are discarded or incinerated, resulting in serious environmental problems. To solve this problem, the R & D team of IPE has developed the production technology of degradable materials from palm waste residue. This technology proposes to develop high filled fiber composites with palm waste residue as a raw material and ionic liquid as a modifier, whose performance can meet the requirements for the use of various packaging materials and wood-based materials. It not only solves the problem of high-value utilization of palm fiber, but also contributes to reducing environmental pollution and carbon emission. This technology has successfully built an one million tons biodegradable material production line, and is now cooperating with Malaysia, Thailand and other "the Belt and Road" countries on related technologies.
