CJ Biomaterials develops meaningful solutions that positively affect our planet and human health and well-being by addressing the challenges posed by fossil fuel-based technologies – including plastic waste. CJ Biomaterials invents and manufactures bio-based chemicals and biopolymers as part of a long-term vision to create a more sustainable future by offering circular solutions that replace many non-recyclable, non-reusable and fossil fuel-based plastics and chemicals.
CJ IOMATERIALS MISSION
We create sustainable values to save lives and protect the earth
We create sustainable values to save lives and protect the earth Today, CJ Biomaterials is engaged in the manufacture of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) – both polymers and associated basic chemicals. We are the global leader in the manufacture and application of amorphous polyhydroxyalkanoates (aPHA)
Amorphous polyhydroxyalkanoates have strong biodegradability and compostability properties and can contribute to marine or soil biodegradable or home compostable products in a variety of applications. In conjunction with other biopolymers, CJ Biomaterials aPHAs can improve the mechanical properties such as toughness, strength, and ductility of other biopolymers while simultaneously enhancing the speed of composting/biodegradation.
