Leading the Way with 100% Bio-Based Biopolymers

The climate. Renewable energy. Quality of life. Human health.

At CJ Biomaterials, we invent and manufacture biopolymers and bio-based chemicals. We do it because we have a long-term vision to introduce technologies that will help create a more sustainable future, offering true circular solutions to replace many non-recyclable, non-reusable and fossil fuel-based plastics and chemicals.

The time is now

We have the technology to address our challenges

How we create and manage plastic waste today affects virtually every facet of our lives. It contributes to greenhouse gases and climate change. Plastic waste affects our quality of life – from global animal health to our use of land and waterways. Plastic waste is also a human health issue as new science points to its adverse effects on our bodies.

PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates)

Sustainability game changers

CJ Biomaterials is a global leader in the manufacture of PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) – both polymers and related chemistries. PHAs are a family of biobased and biodegradable polyesters made by bacterial fermentation. Our brand for our biopolymers is PHACT™.  PHACT stands for PHA+ACTION.

Our PHAs replace fossil fuel-based polymers, delivering high-performing biomaterials with multiple end of life solutions.

How PHACT helps create circular solutions

Decoupling plastics from fossil feedstocks

PHACT biopolymers are plant-based and feature a sustainable manufacturing process. Alone or when blended with other polymers, they dramatically improve environmental characteristics while enhancing physical properties in a broad range of consumer applications. They are certified biodegradable under industrial compost, soil (ambient), and marine environments. They are also TUV-certified home compostable, offering a range of end-of-life solutions.

The expertise and infrastructure to deliver at scale

We’re part of one of the world’s leading biomaterials companies

As part of the global CJ Group and its CJ BIO division, we have the core technology platforms across four continents that are necessary to implement PHA-based solutions at scale.

CJ Biomaterials has expertise in four platforms to achieve these goals: biotechnology, chemical engineering, materials innovation and consumer applications development.

Help us build a circular revolution

We want to partner with you

At CJ Biomaterials, we recognize the need for collaboration across a broad range of companies and technology disciplines to create sustainable value and circular solutions. We want to work alongside other polymer producers, manufacturers and consumer products companies to bring better ideas to market.
