The Challenge
Sustainable design for next-gen artificial turf
CJ Biomaterials’ PHACT™ PHA offers a unique selection of naturally occurring materials that provide suitable bounce, softness, and stability to maintain elite performance standards while minimizing impact on the environment and players.
PHACT™ PHA is biobased, certified marine and soil degradable, and can be used for components such as infill, fiber/yarn, and underlayment. CJ Biomaterials’ unique amorphous PHA (A1000P) exhibits elongation that is comparable to crumb rubber with the notable benefit of an end-of-life with zero persistent microplastics.
Key Benefits
Redesigning artificial turf with PHA
PHACT™ PHA offers expert performance with superior sustainability and end-of-life.
Infill performance
Amorphous PHA exhibits soft and rubbery characteristics that produce excellent bounce and softness. This produces a unique, sustainable, and high-performance alternative.
Safe and Non-toxic
PHA is designed to be safe for everyday use, supporting food contact applications without harmful additives or toxic residues.

Explore how PHACT™ PHA can be used in your artificial turf
Infill
PHACT™ A1000P enhances impact attenuation, rebound, and safety characteristics of more traditionally weaker bio-offerings in a way that maintains elite performance while minimizing environmental impact.
Fiber/Yarn
PHACT™ PHA can produce sustainable, soft, biobased yarns that can be used in full artificial or hybrid turf solutions.
Shock Pad/Underlayment
PHA foams can deliver strong, biobased, shock-absorbing underlayment for sustainable and high-performance play.
Material Advantages
Delivering Performance Today While Enabling Better Outcomes Tomorrow
PHACT PHA-based materials combine functional performance with responsible end-of-lie pathways – supporting the evolving needs of food service applications without compromising quality or scalability.
Performance
CJ Biomaterials PHACT technology can play an important role in enhancing the environmental profile and the performance of a broad range of food and beverage flexible and rigid packaging types. From containers and bags to bottles and coatings, certified foo-safe PHA technology can function alone or in combination with other biopolymers to help usher in the next generation of food and beverage products.
Sustainability & End-of-Life
PHACT PHA provides end-of-life options from commecially to home compostable certified by TUV AUSTRIA and BPI. It is also certified INDUSTRIAL, SOIL, and MARINE biodegadable by TUV AUSTRIA.

Neat PHACT PHA is rated for soil and marine biodegradability unlike many other bioplastics. Additionally, our amorphous PHA (A1000P) exhibits high elongation and tensile strength allowing it to match performance of incumbent infills such as crumb rubber.
In the normal process of disintegration, all plastics eventually pass through the size classification that is considered a "microplastic". Neat PHA components will fully biodegrade over time, leaving behind no persistent microplastics in soil and marine environments.
Please contact us and we will direct you to our partners that offer PHA-based turf components.
Infill is a crucial component of artificial turf performance. However, it is made up of loose pellets that can migrate to surrounding areas during normal use and maintenance. Utilizing biodegradable infill allows the infill that migrates to naturally breakdown, preventing ongoing environmental contamination.
