— Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR: NanoMalaysia Bhd (NMB) has introduced the Biomass Innovation Circular Economy Programme (BICEP), an initiative for sustainable agriculture by promoting the use of biomass waste materials from agricultural sources to produce high-quality advanced materials and products.

NMB chief executive officer Rezal Khairi Ahmad said that BICEP was designed to be a game changer for the country, and in alignment with the 12th Malaysia Plan’s renewed focus on exploiting biomass economic opportunities.

BICEP leverages available local biomass to produce high-value nano-scale advanced materials with applications in healthcare, cosmeceuticals, construction and more.

Through BICEP, it will accelerate the development of a circular economy in Malaysia, considering the country’s status as the world’s second-largest palm oil producer and the largest contributor to the biomass industry.

NMB said that within the region, the biomass industry holds great potential in the AsiaPacific biomass power market.
