What a clean, green world we can all live in using JASA Eco™

The world over, demand for eco friendly products is growing. In Malaysia, it is estimated that the market size for disposable food and beverage packaging products has a net worth in excess of RM220 million per annum. A large proportion of this is polystyrene lunch boxes, with 4 million pieces used and discarded daily. Most are taken to landfills or incinerated.

In landfills, they will not break down and will still be there hundreds of years later. And when incinerated, they emit large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming and climate change.

How do we stop this trend and help prevent irreversible climate change?

Today, many Malaysians are genuinely concerned about the environment. In his 2010 Budget announcement, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak unveiled plans for Putrajaya and Cyberjaya to become pioneer cities for Green Technology.

Funding is being provided to private industry to facilitate the development of green technology, sustainable energy and waste management solutions. Already, there are “No plastic bag’’ days every Saturday in Selangor and three times a week in Penang.

This is only the beginning of the Green Wave coming over Malaysia. Yet in our everyday lives, we still rely on conventional polystyrene packaging and plastic bags for our convenience. Why? Because there has not been any other commercially available solution in the market – until now.

JASA Eco™ is a brand range of eco friendly disposable food and packaging products. Utilising the latest development in Green Technology called Plastarch Material^® (PSM^®), JASA Eco™ seeks to be the market leader company in starch based eco friendly products.
