The Challenge
Rethinking 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 conveniece without the consequences of the enviromental 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
Why PHA for 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.
