Recognizing this trend, Simply D\u00e9cor CEO Mr. Thanakorn Supasa envisioned a market opportunity for waterproof mulberry paper in green packaging. He was introduced to NSTDA Innovation and Technology Assistance Program (ITAP) \u2013 a program that provides experts and funding to help Thai SMEs increase their innovation capacity and enhance their competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>With funding provided by NSTDA, Dr. Manoch Naksata of Chiang Mai University developed a simple process to produce waterproof mulberry paper involving adding a hydrophobic agent to pulp mixture. Because the hydrophobic agent used in this process is a nature-based material, the waterproof mulberry paper is completely biodegradable and eco-friendly. The company turned this waterproof mulberry paper into products such as paper plate, gift box and gift bag currently supplied to clients in both Thailand and overseas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6203 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcg.in.th\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/65-101-2-Mulberry-paper-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bcg.in.th\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/65-101-2-Mulberry-paper-1.png 624w, https:\/\/bcg.in.th\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/65-101-2-Mulberry-paper-1-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This project is a perfect example of technology meeting craftmanship and demonstrates the power of technology and innovation to bring Thailand to a new economy under the Bio-Circular-Green Economy (BCG) national agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simply D\u00e9cor Company Limited is a manufacturer of Papa Paper Craft mulberry paper.
