The Challenge
Rethinking Flexible Food Packaging Materials
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 serviceware 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
Why PHA for Flexible Food Packaging?
PHA-based materials deliver the functionality required for food service applications while enabling responsible end-of-life outcomes and reducing environmental impact.
No persistent microplastics
Unlike conventional plastics, PHA naturally breaks down without leaving behind persistent microplastics in soil or marine environments.
Safe & Non-toxic
PHA is designed to be safe for everyday use, supporting food contact applications without harmful additives or toxic residues.
Product Highlights
Sustainable, High-Performance Films
PHACT materials are designed to deliver performance, processability, and compostability – enabling real-world applications at scale.

PHACT PHA
Films and flexible food packaging
Explore how PHACT™ PHA films can enhance your packaging
Stretch and Shrink films
PHACT PHA resins improve stretch, strength, and compostability of standard PLA films. Formulations can achieve transparent or opaque materials tuned to your specific needs.
Pouches
Compostable stand-up and pillow pouches can be made from PHACT resins and compounds. Excellent balance between stiffness, strength, tear and puncture. PHACT PHA-based pouches significantly reduce noise of standard PLA options.
Sachets and stick packs
For non-recyclable small format sachets and stick packs, PHACT PHA-based options offer an elegant compostable alternative. They provide excellent tear propagation and are amenable to multilayer barrier solutions for high OTR and WVTR requirements.
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 flexible food packaging 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

Our technical team can help evaluate materials, performance requirements, and sustainability targets for your application.
PHACT™ neat PHA resins, PHA (A1000P) and semi-crystalline PHA (S1000P), maintain industrial compostable , home compostable , marine degradable (link), and soil degradable certifications. Most film applications will require a compounded solution that require industrial or home composting conditions to properly biodegrade. Please check each grades list of certifications to understand which environment is most suitable for end-of-life.
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.
PLA is a bioplastic that is well-known for its rigidity, stiffness, and “noisiness” in film applications. In films where flexibility and strength are crucial, PHA/PLA materials can match the durability and feel of incumbent petrochemical components. Additionally, PHA enhances the biodegradation rates of standard PLA formats, making it an ideal, highly sustainable alternative.
PHACT™ PHA-based materials deliver the high functionality and durability required for flexible food packaging while providing responsible end-of-life outcomes, such as compostability, and reducing environmental impact.
CJ Biomaterials provides access to comprehensive Technical Data Sheets and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all their PHACT™ materials.
