Compostable Film Packaging Compounds
CJ Biomaterials Introduces Two Innovative PHA-Based Compounds
Kalin Ned — May 13, 2024CJ Biomaterials introduces two innovative PHA-based compounds tailored for various film packaging applications. The venture is said to mark a significant advancement in sustainable flexible packaging.
CJ Biomaterials' film packaging compounds include the PHACT™ CA1270P (clear) and the PHACT™ CA1240PF (opaque). Both are developed for blown, cast, and machine direction orientation film applications, offering exceptional performance and environmental benefits. Both CA1270P and CA1240PF demonstrate impressive mechanical properties, including stiffness, strength, tear, and puncture resistance.
As brands seek solutions to combat plastic waste and address environmental concerns, the introduction of these biobased compounds provides a compostable alternative to traditional plastic films. With a focus on reducing carbon footprint, these compounds contribute to diverting food waste from landfills, aligning with consumers' growing demand for eco-friendly packaging options.
