Eco-friendly PHA bioplastics
Small Change.
Big Contribution.
Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues in our world. We have to start making a small change now to replace the conventional plastic to biodegradable plastic and this for sure will be a huge contribution to our planet.

Eco-friendly PHA Bioplastics
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) is a polyester which being fully biodegradable and it is biologically synthesized by microorganism from fermentation of renewable resources such as sugar and plant oils (e.g. palm oil, canola oil, cottonseed oil, etc.).
PHA is synthesized by converting acetyl-CoA which is formed through ẞ-oxidation pathway into acetoacetyl-CoA which is then reduce to (R)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA and finally polymerize into PHA.
PHA is capable of being used to fabricate variety of everyday products ranging from food packaging, photographic material, textile fibers, agricultural, medical uses such as drug delivery system, implants, non-woven patches and tissue scaffolding.
PHA is relatively cost-effective and environmental friendly method to ensure our present and future live in a smarter materials world.
100% Biobased
100% made of bio-based feedstocks or renewable resources.
100% Biodegradable
100% biodegradable for all the bioplastics products.
100% Home Compostable
100% home composite product that meets the highest sustainability requirements.
EcoPHA has pioneered a method to produce polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a biodegradable bioplastic, from pongamia oil, a non-edible oil derived from the pongamia tree. This process makes PHA a sustainable and commercially viable alternative to conventional plastics, particularly for applications like packaging and industrial use.
Key aspects of EcoPHA’s innovation:
Sustainable feedstock:
Pongamia oil, derived from the pongamia tree, is a non-edible, renewable resource that doesn’t compete with food production.
Biodegradable bioplastic:
PHA is a biodegradable plastic that can be composted at home or in industrial settings, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional plastics.
Commercial viability:
Ecopha has filed a world-first patent for their PHA manufacturing process and is working with partners like Terra Sol to commercialize PHA-based products, like takeaway cups, lids, straws, and cutlery.
Global impact:
EcoPHA’s technology is attracting attention from governments, educational institutions, and industry leaders as a potential solution for reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainability.
