These liners, typically discarded as landfill waste, are now being upcycled into molded packaging trays with the help of Jishan Berhad\u2019s industry-grade production lines. This breakthrough technology allows MIW to produce molded fiber packaging as a sustainable alternative to plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis collaboration is about scaling sustainability,\u201d said John Ooi, Founder of MIW. \u201cWe\u2019re proving that waste can be reengineered into durable, low-carbon products that meet the needs of modern industries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Waste to Function<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RCP trays are designed as a drop-in replacement for expanded polystyrene (EPS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) trays used in electronics, industrial tools, home appliances, and consumer goods. These trays are lightweight, shock-resistant, antistatic, and biodegradable, meeting key product protection standards while reducing material footprint. They provide an eco-friendly alternative that maintains quality and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-photo-1.jpg\" class=\"td-modal-image\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-photo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76519\" style=\"width:250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-photo-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-photo-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-photo-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-photo-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-photo-1-420x420.jpg 420w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-photo-1-840x840.jpg 840w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-photo-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-photo-1-696x696.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Ng Eng Siong<\/strong>, Managing Director of Jishan Berhad | \u00a9 Jishan Berhad<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaboration with Jishan Berhad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 2000, Jishan Berhad is a major player in Malaysia\u2019s packaging industry. The company manufactures high-quality paper and plastic packaging products, including corrugated cartons, die-cut trays, thermoforming trays, and stretch films. Jishan\u2019s expertise in mold tooling and precision forming has helped MIW fast-track its product development, bringing Malaysia\u2019s first commercial-grade circular molded tray to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur partnership with Materials In Works (MIW) marks a significant step forward \u2014 transforming difficult-to-recycle label release liner waste into high-performance molded fiber packaging. This collaboration not only diverts waste from landfills and lowers carbon emissions but also sets a bold precedent for sustainable manufacturing in Malaysia and across the region,\u201d said Ng Eng Siong, Managing Director of Jishan Berhad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainability Practices at Jishan Berhad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jishan is committed to sustainability, incorporating up to 60% post-consumer recycled content in its plastic products and using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified paper for its corrugated packaging. These sustainable practices contribute to reducing plastic waste and are in line with global sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ng stated, \u201cAt Jishan Berhad, we believe the future of packaging lies in circularity and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building a Closed-Loop Supply Chain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>MIW\u2019s initiative goes beyond sustainable packaging production, it lays the foundation for closed-loop supply chains across Asia. A recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SATO Auto-ID Malaysia is focused on offering MIW\u2019s liner upcycling solution to Japanese customers. This collaboration opens the door for Japanese brands operating in the region to participate in a sustainable alternative for managing glassine liner waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In parallel, MIW\u2019s upcycling program is being expanded through its partnership with Uniqlo Malaysia, which supports the collection and diversion of pre-consumer label liner waste from retail supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, these initiatives exemplify MIW\u2019s closed-loop approach to the circular economy, turning difficult-to-recycle waste into valuable Recovered Cellulose Pulp (RCP) and reintegrating it as sustainable molded goods in the packaging lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Our partnership with Materials In Works (MIW) marks a significant step forward \u2014 transforming difficult-to-recycle label release liner waste into high-performance molded fiber packaging.<\/p><cite><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\"><strong>Ng Eng Siong<\/strong><em>, Managing Director of Jishan Berha<\/em>d<\/mark><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\" style=\"margin-top:-15px;margin-bottom:25px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jishan-group.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-logo-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76520\" style=\"width:100px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-logo-2.png 400w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-logo-2-300x269.png 300w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/MY25-MIW-logo-2-150x135.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MIW and Jishan Berhad at Expo 2025 Osaka<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2025, MIW and Jishan Berhad will co-showcase their innovations at Expo 2025 Osaka, aiming to connect with brand owners, converters, logistics companies, and manufacturers committed to ESG-aligned procurement.
