Nextgreen Global Officially Recognised by ASEAN Records for First Green Technology Park Adopting Circular Economy Model with Patented Technology to Convert Oil Palm Biomass into EFB Pulp and Paper

Nextgreen Global, a Malaysian pioneer in sustainable industrial development, has officially been recognised by ASEAN Records for achieving the milestone: First Green Technology Park Adopting Circular Economy Model with Patented Technology to Convert Oil Palm Biomass into EFB Pulp and Paper

The official ASEAN Records certificate was proudly presented to Dato’ Lim Thiam Huat, Managing Director of Nextgreen Global, during a recognition ceremony at the company’s flagship Green Technology Park (GTP) in Pekan, Pahang. The presentation was witnessed by YBhg. Datuk Dr. Ching Thoo, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability, in recognition of the importance of sustainable innovation to Malaysia’s future economy.

A Breakthrough in Circular Green Technology

This record was achieved through Nextgreen’s breakthrough approach to creating a fully integrated, zero-waste industrial ecosystem. The Green Technology Park utilises a patented process to convert palm oil waste—specifically empty fruit bunches (EFB)—into eco-labelled pulp and paper, contributing to both national ESG goals and reducing reliance on imported materials.

The GTP’s production flow is rooted in circular economy principles. In addition to pulp and paper, the plant produces organic fertilisers and renewable energy from the residual by-products of the EFB conversion process—ensuring nothing goes to waste.

“This achievement is a national milestone that proves sustainability can go hand-in-hand with innovation and profitability,” said Dato’ Lim Thiam Huat. “We thank ASEAN Records for this recognition, and we hope to replicate this model across ASEAN to support the region’s transition toward sustainable industrialisation.”
