CJ Biomaterials is the biomaterials division of CJ CheilJedang, producing PHACT branded PHA biopolymers at commercial scale.
CJ Biomaterials produces PHA biopolymers and related basic chemicals using fermentation based biotechnology. Building on decades of experience in food and biotechnology, the company uses bioscience, chemical engineering, materials innovation, and applications development to manufacture PHA solutions at scale for global markets.
Packaging, food serviceware, agriculture, personal care and consumer goods are the most common, wherever a persistent plastic can be replaced.
PHA breaks down in soil, industrial compost and marine environments, so it does not persist as microplastic at end of life.
They shorten the time a discarded product remains in the environment, which reduces accumulation in landfill and waterways.
