End-of-Life Options
PHA can be processed through multiple end-of-life pathways, including industrial composting and organic waste streams, helping reduce landfill dependency.
The Opportunity
CJ Biomaterials was established in 2022- building on decades-long history in food and biotechnology.
CJ Biomaterials PHACT Technology can help deliver that convenience without the consequences of the environmental threat. Today, we are working across a broad range of serviceware applications – from trays, straws and cutlery to coatings to enhance the functionality and environmental performance of single-use food servieware products.
With the ability to be composted with food waste, PHACT PHA can minimize the burden on the environment and even benefit the environment by converting organic waste into useful soil amendments through industrial composting.
Key Benefits
PHA-based materials deliver the functionality required for food service applications while enabling responsible end-of-life outcomes and reducing environmental impact.
PHA can be processed through multiple end-of-life pathways, including industrial composting and organic waste streams, helping reduce landfill dependency.
Unlike conventional plastics, PHA naturally breaks down without leaving behind persistent microplastics in soil or marine environments.
PHA is designed to be safe for everyday use, supporting food contact applications without harmful additives or toxic residues.

Our technical team can help evaluate materials, performance requirements, and sustainability targets for your application.
PHACT™ PHA bin liners are made from high-performance, compostable materials rather than conventional petroleum-based plastics. They are specifically designed to deliver durability and functionality while offering significantly improved end-of-life outcomes, such as compostability.
No. Unlike conventional plastics that break down into small, persistent fragments, PHACT™ PHA naturally breaks down completely without leaving behind persistent microplastics in soil or marine environments.
PHACT™ PHA materials can be processed through multiple end-of-life pathways, including commercial industrial composting and home composting. They are fully compatible with organic waste streams.
Yes. PHA is designed to be safe for everyday use. It is produced without harmful additives and leaves no toxic residues, making it a safe choice for collecting food waste and other compostable materials.
No. PHACT™ materials are engineered to deliver performance, processability, and compostability at the same time. They combine functional performance with responsible end-of-life pathways without compromising quality or scalability.
