What is the PHA’s?

What is the PHA’s?

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biopolymers synthesized by some
microorganisms that accumulate carbon and energy reserves, this process
works from renewable resources.
Advantages over
other plastics

Advantages over other plastics

PHA’s Conventional plastics
The PHA’s are biodegradable. The conventional petroleum-derived plastics aren’t
biodegradable.

Origin: They are of biological origin (processes by Origin: Produced from oil and fossil resources.
microorganisms).

Have additional unique properties such as piezoelectricity and They do not have piezoelectric property.
excellent barrier properties.

Production process: Sustainable production process using Production process: Complex production process, high energy
agriculture raw materials dissolved in aqueous solutions, raw and freshwater demanding, discontinuous process,
material purity not required, room temperature and normal inhomogeneous product quality, high biological and chemical
pressure oxygen demand (BOD and COD) in wastewater

700 to 1000 years to degrade. For this
reason it is better to return to biodegradable
plastics such as PHA.
Costs
Costs

Costs
• PHA biopolymer cost is estimated between US$2,25-2,75/lb.
• The PHA market size is estimated to be USD 62 million in 2020 and is
projected to reach USD 121 million by 2025.
• Its growth opportunity is attributed to the increasing demand in
packaging and the biomedical industry.
