听说，榴莲壳中有宝藏，农业废料也能变黄金？
答案是：Yes！
11月30日，厦门大学马来西亚分校与绿色创新企业SEED Tech Sdn. Bhd.签署合作备忘录，达成长期产学研合作关系，旨在推进纳米纤维素等可持续材料技术的发展。
马来西亚科学、技术及创新部长郑立慷（YB Tuan Chang Lih Kang）出席活动并见证协议签署。
据介绍，此次合作将通过产品研发与商业化，探索纳米纤维素等生物源材料的潜力及多领域应用，助力应对气候变化、化石燃料枯竭和废物积累等全球性挑战。
“纳米纤维素是一种极具前景的新材料，强度超过钢铁，可从天然纤维中提取。我们希望用其替代传统石化材料，减少化石燃料依赖及非生物降解废物的产生，”SEED Tech联合创始人袁建彬先生介绍。
据了解，SEED Tech已投资500万元人民币（约310万马币）用于项目启动。双方计划以此为基础，由能源与化工学院陈康伟博士（Dr. Tan Khang Wei）带队，将纳米纤维素应用于食品包装、电池隔膜等领域，并与东京大学、莫纳什大学等国际知名高校合作，促进知识交流与技术创新。
郑立慷部长在仪式中说：“马来西亚拥有丰富的农业资源，但生物质利用率偏低。通过将这些资源转化为高价值生物材料，我们不仅能够实现可持续发展目标，还能抢占全球市场，推动经济增长。”
他表示，马来西亚科学、技术及创新部一直鼓励大学与业界开展产学合作，将学术研究成果商业化，协助解决全球环境课题。
厦门大学马来西亚分校校长王瑞芳教授与SEED Tech联合创始人袁建彬先生、张亮先生在代表合作双方签署合作协议。
签署仪式在厦门大学马来西亚分校国际交流中心举行。TCC集团、绿色环境工程公司、马来西亚国际医药大学、莫纳什大学（马来西亚）、诺丁汉大学马来西亚分校、USCI大学、熊猫榴莲之家等机构代表出席仪式。
作为中国首个“双一流”高校的海外分校，厦门大学马来西亚分校自2016年成立以来，依托先进的绿色能源与材料研究设施，为高影响力的跨学科项目提供了坚实支撑。此次合作中，SEED Tech凭借其深厚的行业洞察力与商业化能力，为项目的推进注入了强大动力。
这一项目不仅为推动马来西亚2030新工业总规划中“净零排放”目标的实现提供了支持，也展现了马中两国在绿色技术领域加强合作的积极意愿。
SEED Tech是一家马来西亚绿色科技公司，致力于把纳米技术从实验室转化为实际应用，以满足农业、医疗保健、汽车、能源等行业的材料需求，提供可持续的创新解决方案。

Witnessed by MOSTI Minister, XMUM Signs MoA with SEED Tech to Advance Nanocellulose for Sustainable Development
Xiamen University Malaysia (XMUM) recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with SEED Tech Sdn. Bhd., launching a long-term industry-academia strategic partnership to advance sustainable technologies and materials.
This collaboration aims to address pressing global challenges including climate change, fossil fuel depletion, and waste accumulation.
Under this partnership, with a shared a vision of promoting green material production and implementation, both parties intend to explore the potential of bio-derived materials, such as nanocellulose, and their applications through rigorous research, development, commercialization, and innovation.
SEED Tech Sdn. Bhd. invested 5 million RMB (RM 3.1 million) to initiate the project.
The MoA was signed at XMUM by Prof. Wang Ruifang, President of XMUM, and Mr. Yuan Jianbin & Mr. Zhang Liang, co-founders of SEED Tech Sdn. Bhd. Yang Berhormat Tuan Chang Lih Kang, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), graced the signing ceremony with his endorsement.
"Malaysia has a robust agricultural industry with underutilized biomass resources. By converting these resources into high-value biomaterials and commodities, we can not only achieve national sustainability goals but also tap into the global bio-product market and drive significant economic growth," stated YB Chang Lih Kang.
The event also welcomed XMUM provosts and delegates from TCC Group, Green Environmental Engineering Sdn. Bhd., IMU University, Monash University Malaysia, the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, UCSI University, and Panda Durian House Stall.
In this case, XMUM, equipped with advanced green energy and material research facilities, provides necessary pool of expertise to engage in high-impact interdisciplinary sustainable projects. SEED Tech complements this with industrial insights and commercialization platforms.
"Nanocellulose is an emerging next-generation material stronger than steel and can be extracted from natural fibres. We can replace petrochemical materials like synthetic polymers with nanocellulose to minimize fossil fuel dependency and non-biodegradable waste," explained Mr. Yuan Jianbin.
Facilitated by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tan Khang Wei, a team of young talents have been conducting research on nanocellulose production from organic wastes like durian husks. Their work also focuses on nanocellulose applications such as food packaging and battery separator materials, through global connections with institutes like University of Tokyo and Monash University for knowledge exchange.
This collaboration between XMUM - the first-ever overseas campus established by a Chinese public university in 2016, and SEED Tech Sdn. Bhd. - a locally-based startup specializing in green technology, symbolizes Malaysia’s commitment to strengthening Malaysia-China cooperation. Successfully commercializing these innovations will make a significant step towards achieving Mission 3 of Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030): Push for Net Zero.
