Founder, Magorium

Oh Chu Xian

Turning plastic waste into greener roads. Chu Xian is the founder of Magorium, a company transforming how we deal with plastic waste by converting it into sustainable materials for road construction. Her mission is bold but simple: reduce incineration, close the loop, and pave the way for a more circular future.

One of her biggest lessons? Learning to move forward despite failure and rejection. Innovation isn’t always smooth but built on persistence, recalibration, and courage.

She believes the future of materials will be defined by sustainability and circularity not just in how we dispose, but how we source and produce.

The risk that changed her journey? Paving roads with non-traditional, recycled materials before the industry was ready. That leap helped Magorium turn waste into something durable, scalable, and full of impact.
