The Challenge
Rethinking Rigid 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 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

Rigid Food Packaging
Explore how PHACT™ PHA can be used to make high-performance, compostable rigid packaging
Clamshells
PHACT PHA resins improve impact resistance of thermoformed clamshells while increasing biodegradability for end-of-life use and ensuring food contamination makes it to compost piles.
Thermoformed and foam trays
PHACT resins make excellent thermoformed or foam trays for a variety of compostable packaing options.
Extrusion coated paperboard
PHACT PHA is ideal as a compostable and oil and grease resistant barrier on paper.
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

PHACT™ PHA delivers high-performance, compostable materials designed specifically for rigid food packaging. It provides the durability and functionality required for rigid applications while offering significantly improved end-of-life outcomes compared to traditional single-use plastics.
Yes. PHA is designed to be safe and non-toxic for everyday use. It uses certified food-safe technology, supporting food contact applications without harmful additives or leaving behind toxic residues.
PHACT™ PHA resins improve the impact resistance of thermoformed clamshells. At the same time, they increase the biodegradability of the packaging for end-of-life use, ensuring that packaging contaminated with food can safely make it to compost piles.
Yes. PHACT™ PHA rigid packaging can be composted along with the food waste it contains. Through industrial composting, this helps minimize environmental burden and converts organic waste into useful soil amendments rather than sending it to a landfill.
No. Unlike conventional petroleum-based plastics, PHA naturally breaks down completely without leaving behind persistent, harmful microplastics in soil or marine environments.
