Making nature work. For you.

At CJ Biomaterials, we have the experience, the technology, the expertise and the scale to make polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) a significant force in reducing plastic waste and the basis for sustainable chemistry. Working alongside other polymer producers, product manufacturers, and consumer and industrial brands, our mission is to create materials that replace those based on fossil fuels – delivering the same or better performance at costs that make sense for society.
