Malaysia is a fast grown well producing and exporting palm oil industry. However issues of sustainability are being raised worldwide connecting economy, which is fed by the production of palm oil with deforestation of rain forests, loss of biodiversity and substantial agro-emissions due to fertilizer and water use. In response the government has issued strict limits for land use and is strongly supporting the development of “Green Technology”. The Prime Minister has presented the ambition to reduce the Malaysian GHG output with 40% over the coming years at the Climate Top. At the same time the increase in income has led to a considerable increase of unsustainable living practices, such as using cars and air conditioning units. The strong governmental focus on sustainability is taken up by companies but is not yet well embedded in society at large. It seems that the awareness for the necessity for sustainable living is not very high and or that the options for sustainable yet comfortable living are not well known or ignored. This project aims to make the public aware of sustainability issues urging changes in behavior leading to more conscious focus on sustainable options and lower energy uses. It focuses on the innovations in renewable materials made for example from waste material from oil plantations, which can be used for novel designs of sustainable and biorenewable houses.
