Company
Green Ecopolymer Sdn Bhd was formed in February 2010 to develop, manufacture and market a flexible product line of “Green Polymer Plastic Films”. As a sister company of Intragress Sdn. Bhd., Green Ecopolymer will strongly backup with existing establish connection.
Green Ecopolymer initial product, the biodegradable plastic film, will be directed specifically at retails, plantation and sportswear packaging sector. The design and specifications of the product are substantially complete and ready for production
Products
The usage of plastic materials is in great demand for packaging and wrapping materials. However, most plastic materials require a long time to degrade.
It is important to develop plastic to accelerate degradation process. Existing plastic films had employed oxodegradant additives. Polyolefin plastics e.g. PE and PP widely use as packaging film had been scrutinized for its non biodegradability. NEW additives such as prooxidant and photosensitizer had been incorporated to film; most use synthetic metal complexes which may cause further environmental problems through leaching etc.
Our new green packaging film is NOT from biodegradable polymer which is more expensive. Degradable properties were proven upon exposure to heat and sunlight. Project can be commercialized with relevant film blown extruder or casting machine to produce packaging films. It has natural additives which are non toxic if leached and safe for use as food films. Target markets cover mostly all packaging industries. Groceries bags banned worldwide is of concern. Local and global market can be targeted. Other products can be manufactured including disposal plastic wares and moulded items. R and D will be done by consultants from universities for improved quality. Raw materials can be sourced from Petronas and other petrochemical companies which can spearhead the development of this green packaging film.
Green Ecopolymer products, whether addressing the retails, plantation and sportswear packaging sector, all share a common goal: production flexibility and cost reduction for end users. Current and future Green Ecopolymer products encompass proprietary designs which yield substantial benefits over competitive products as follows:
• Simplicity-Manifested in ease of use and maintenance in addition to lower cost of manufacture
• Performance Capacity
• Precision
• Flexibility
• Price/Performance
Market
Underlying the phenomenal growth anticipated for the plastic industry is an equal or faster growth in competition among manufacturers of a wide range of products requiring a flexible process as products change. These manufacturers must find ways to achieve manufacturing flexibility while containing costs. Green Ecopolymer products address this issue by incorporating reprogram ability which reduces the need for additional capital equipment and worker retraining. To the extent the assembly process is labor intensive, as labor costs rise, Green Ecopolymer products can also reduce the average hourly cost of assembly.
Financial
Green Ecopolymer is seeking 500,000.00 (five hundred thousand) in first-round financing. The funding will enable the company to build its product line, to implement aggressive sales and marketing plans, and to establish an initial manufacturing facility. The company anticipates that the initial round will be sufficient to carry it to profitability and to allow building assets to a level where outside debt financing can be obtained to fund further growth.
