Product Design

Research Cluster

Product and Manufacture Polymer research cluster is a group within GPTech SCUI 2022 that mainly focused on the usage of green-based polymer on the application within the industrial environment and manufacturing process. Together, we will find innovations & ideas to break the negative stigma on the industrial and manufacture which seems polluting our environment with their unrenewable products and full-of-waste process.
