Lucky Bag plastic enterprise of Myanmar
will start exporting HDPE kind of thin, soft plastic bags to Japan at
the end of this month, managing director Hla Win said.
The polyethylene will be exported to
Japan which will be used in carrying kitchen wares. Only plastic without
the logo being sealed will be exported to Japan.
The move came following the agreement
between the Myanmar company and some Japanese companies since a few
months ago. Some Japanese companies started to discuss plastic export
with Myanmar company for about one year ago.
"Three to four Japanese companies
discussed with us to send plastic, especially kitchen pack to Japan.
Shopping bags and large bags are asked to be exported to Japan later. We
have sent sample plastic for three times and they like it and agree it
to be sent at the end of this month. Only plastic bags without having
logo will have to be sent and then Japan will stick its logo on them and
they will be locally sold," the managing director said.
The Lucky Bag company will start
exporting 13 tonnes plastic that is the same as the weight of a
container. Malaysia, China and Vietnam are now exporting plastic to
Japan. Therefore, Myanmar's plastic is likely to compete with the
currently exporting countries.
"We aim to seek the export market. If
the plastic export is convenient, that can do good things for plastic
businessmen and provide job employment as well. We hope we will achieve
success in our enterprise, but we do not see regular power supply. The
plastic quality depends much on power," the managing director added.
The plastic will have to be officially exported to Japan for the first time and it is not permitted for local consumption.
