What is PHA?

Poly-Hydroxy-Alkanoates (PHA) is a family of bio-based polyesters which is fully biodegradable in almost any environment, including fresh and seawater.

PHA-platform is made up of a large variety of bioplastics raw materials made from many different renewable resources.

PHA covers a wide range of application, such as sunglasses, cosmetic containers, etc.

PHAs cover a wide range of properties and applications. Depending on the type of PHA, they can be used for applications in films and rigid packaging, biomedical applications, automotive, consumer electronics, appliances, toys, glues, adhesives, paints, coatings, fibers for woven and non-woven, and PHA products inks.
