CJ BIOMATERIALS, Inc.

We had a great week in Washington, DC, at this year's Alternative Fuels & Chemicals Coalition Conference, with Max Senechal and Lauren Scott delivering insightful and impactful presentations to engaged audiences! Max Senechal shared advancements of #PHA biopolymers, showcasing how they’re transforming #compostable solutions from flexible films to improved rigid food packaging and faster-composting cutlery. He discussed challenges being faced in the renewable materials industry, including fossil fuel subsidies that obscure the true costs of pollution and health impacts. Max also addressed how companies are tackling these hurdles by leveraging their unique material benefits, integrating sustainability into supply chains, and scaling up manufacturing capabilities to meet market demands. Lauren Scott focused on the policy landscape on both the state and federal levels, issuing a call to action for the biomaterials industry. She emphasized the urgent need for collaboration efforts to advance legislative policies that support renewable feedstocks, measurable biogenic carbon in products, and growth in composting infrastructure.

Today, we are launching PHACT? CB0400A, a new PHA-grade compound designed for straw manufacturers seeking marine biodegradability certification. This new solution is made from a unique blend of our amorphous (PHACT A1000P) and semi-crystalline (PHACT S1000P) biopolymers, both TüV OK-certified as marine biodegradable. Marine degradability certification for the final compound is currently underway. This new solution demonstrates how CJ Biomaterials can quickly develop unique #PHA compounds to address the #PlasticWaste challenge and respond to market demands for specific performance attributes.

The CJ Biomaterials team collaborated with The Nonwovens Institute (NWI) at North Carolina State University to demonstrate the effectiveness of incorporating our unique amorphous PHACT? #PHA (A1000P) into #PLA spunbond #nonwoven fabrics. A1000P broadens the process window and improves the softness and performance of the PLA non-woven fabric. For details on this project and to discuss how our PHA technology can help make your nonwoven solutions more sustainable, contact us today! https://loom.ly/AXvkO0E Jerri DiRenzo Raj Krishnaswamy Octavius Davies

We have secured Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) certification for our complete range of #polyhydroxyalkanoate masterbatches and compounds available for the US market! This is third-party verification that the raw materials and products used in our solutions meet ASTM International standards for #compostability and commercial compost environments. These products combine the best properties of PHACT?-branded #PHA and polylactic acid (PLA), offering enhanced performance and sustainability attributes for a variety of end products, including drinking straws, cutlery, cups, rigid packaging, and flexible packaging.
