Thai Gorilla Pulp Gets Thai Airways Order for Several Million Boxes Made of Palm Oil Waste

Thai Gorilla Pulp Ltd. (TGP), Rayong, Thailand, reports that it has received an order for several million in-flight boxes from Thai Airways International Public Co. The carton boxes will be made using TGP's palm pulp kraft liner technology.
 

TGP CEO Ryosuke Tanaka noted that "last year our company received the Environmental Award by the governor of Bangkok, and now we welcome Thai Airways as a new customer. Being recognized by a prestigious company such as Thai Airways is not only a major step forward for our business, but it also shows that highly innovative companies are accepted in Thailand. Being green, environmental, and sustainable does not necessarily mean more expensive. We continue to focus on achieving our goal to protect the rainforests and forests of our earth." 

In 2008 (when it was founded), TGP, a 100% subsidiary of Pulp GreenTech Holding AG in Liechtenstein, invented and since has continuously improved pulping technology using palm oil waste—the Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB). Since 2008, TGP has successfully developed methods to convert Palm Oil EFB into paper and paperboard products.
