Growing up in a family involved in the road construction business, Oh has seen the environmental toll of mining Earth’s resources for raw materials. This, along with major shifts in global plastic waste management, inspired her to establish Magorium, a deep-tech startup that turns unrecyclable plastic waste into material for paving roads.

Magorium’s innovative process for giving this plastic waste a second life offers a beacon of hope for tackling the global plastic waste problem while reducing our dependence on finite resources.

Having paved roads with this new material from Tuas to Sentosa, Oh isn’t stopping there. Her vision for Magorium stretches beyond the nation’s shores, with plans to revolutionise road construction on a regional, and even global scale.

How have design and creativity shaped her journey? Watch the video to learn more.
