In Massachusetts, CJ Biomaterials has unveiled two compounds made from polyhydroxyalkanoates and polylactic acid designed for blown, cast, and machine direction orientation film applications. PHACT™ CA1270P (clear) and PHACT™ CA1240PF (opaque) include PLA sourced from NatureWorks. The combination of the two bioplastic compounds offer performance and environmental benefits for sustainable flexible packaging.
“The introduction of CA1270P and CA1240PF represents a major milestone in CJ Biomaterials’ ongoing commitment to sustainable innovation,” says Max Senechal, Chief Commercial Officer at CJ Biomaterials, in a press statement. “These biobased films offer a compelling combination of performance, versatility, and environmental responsibility, reducing the world’s reliance on traditional plastic while supporting the transition to a more sustainable future.”
