Packaging R&D in ASEAN is a combination
of technology transfer and technology innovation.
Many packaging industries were challenged
and will be challenged by the global
market, environment issue and legislation. The
packaging industries especially the industries
that export the product to different countries,
must carry out R&D project for your own products
to continuously create new product and
packaging, which can live, survive and persuade
in different culture and environment
Last but not least, it is also important for
ASEAN packaging industries to take into consideration
our own natural resources. For
example; the vast forest in Indonesia could
bring many environmentally friendly packaging
for wine or tube form product. The skin of the
banana in Philipines could be reused again for
other product and even coconuts in Malaysia
could replace the EPS cushioning in the near
future.
