description <p>Malaysia is endowed with plenty of industrial minerals such as silica, limestone, mica and kaolin. Besides that, the vibrant growth of manufacturing industries needs these minerals as their raw materials in their manufacturing processes and these industries are setting stringent specification for the raw materials used in their processes. Availability of local mineral resources and vibrant growth of the manufacturing industries has creates a vital needs to develop and value add the local mineral resources through development of advance mineral processing techniques in order to create win-win situation between the mineral industry and manufacturing industries. This study will focus on value adding of the local industrial minerals through fine grinding process to produce high performance mineral fillers for plastic industry. This technology is considered green as it consume less energy and produce minimal pollutants compare to the current processes. Besides cost reduction, the performance of the plastic products has been enhanced in terms of mechanical and thermal properties by incorporating these high quality mineral fillers which makes these high quality products affordable for the bottom billions. Sustainable development of these mineral resources is essential as these mineral resources are nonrenewable.</p>
