PHA
PHAs (polyhydroxyalkanoates) are polyesters biosynthesized by a bacterium fed by inexpensive oils derived from the seeds of plants such as canola and soy.
- Versatile, adaptable and heat- and UV-resistant
- FDA approved for food contact
- Capable of properties comparable to many petrochemical plastics
- Custom formulated to create many types of plastic resins for different purposes
- Able to withstand high temperatures while in storage
- Durable enough for high-speed processing
- Meets the customer’s desired performance characteristics
- Will meet applicable regulatory requirements, including end-of-life certifications and food-contact clearance
Many customers have desired end-of-life situations that they want their products to conform to when they are discarded. It is true that many products can be recycled, but the reality is that the overwhelming majority of plastics are not being recycled. We can replace traditional single-use plastics with a 100% renewable, biobased material that can biodegrade in any of the following conditions:
- Marine biodegradable
- Soil biodegradable
- Home compostable
- Industrial compostable
A Wide Range of Appliations
The range of applications for products made with PHA is enormous and includes:
- Cups
- Lids
- Bottles
- Utensils
- Diaper linings
- Plates
- Toys
The process in which PHA breaks down is similar to cellulose or wood. When kept in an environment with limited bacterial and fungi activity, the material will last for a long time. If that material is discarded into the environment or compost bin, it will be consumed by microorganisms that feed off the material as a carbon food source.
