The development of the bio plastics production technology from old oil palm trunk sap.

Oil palm is a common agricultural product in Southeast Asia. Its source-the oil palm trees--have an economic life span of approximately 20-25 years, after which old trees are felled and the farms, replanted. Therefore, the discarded oil palm trunks are suddenly available in large quantities, providi...
