It was organized by the National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC) and chaired by Dr. Julapong Thaweesri, former Director-General of the Department of Industrial Works.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9728″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_column_text]Discussions covered four key areas for End-of-Waste implementation: waste screening and feasibility studies; technical validation and quality assurance; regulations governing transportation and use; and market development and investment incentives. The framework also considers economic potential, technology readiness, market demand, safety, and greenhouse gas benefits when identifying promising waste-utilization projects.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9729″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_column_text]Examples of industrial waste valorization presented at the meeting included converting rice husk ash into sodium silicate, tuna fish bones into bone china, plaster moulds into gypsum boards, and synthetic gypsum into gypsum boards. These examples demonstrate potential pathways for recovering resources from industrial residues and incorporating them into new materials and products.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9730″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Research and innovations from HubSustainMat were also featured at the End of Waste Innovation Showcase, held by MTEC on 13 August 2026. These included\u00a0Cello-gum, a high-value additive derived from food waste for food and pharmaceutical applications; NetCycle3D, which uses recycled fishing-net plastics for 3D printing; and ChocoCarbon, activated carbon derived from cocoa shells for use in carbon dioxide-absorbing concrete.<\/span><\/div>\n
