WHAT IS PHA?
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are type of a polyester synthesized by various microorganisms in a carbon-rich medium in the presence of essential elements, as an intracellular energy and carbon reserve.

WHY PHA?
Nowadays,bioplastic production accounts for only 1% of total plastic production. As a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer, PHA offers an alternative to the petroleum-based bottles with its excellent properties.
-
PHA is a biopolymer obtained from 100% renewable resources without additives.
-
Compared to other alternative materials, PHAs have a wide range of melting temperature, glass transition temperature, and thermal decomposition temperature.
-
Besides, PHAs have splendid mechanical properties such as flexible Young's modulus, elongation at break and tensile strength.
-
Moreover, PHAs are heat- and UV-resistant.
-
PHA is capable of efficiently adhering to materials like paper.
-
PHA is FDA approved and better than many rivals at maintaining the quality of food and other stored products
