Introduction to genPHA’s

We are not producers of PHA raw materials.  Rather we evaluate and source PHA’s from various qualified suppliers for our custom formulations. 

Given the wide array of methods that PHA can be produced, it does lead to product attribute variations among suppliers.  Even within the same product category, i.e…A common semi-crystalline PHA from brand A, can have very different attributes from brand B. This does not mean that one material is better than another, simply that there are nuances in the rheological properties that maybe better suited for one type of applications vs. the other brand.    

At ecogenesis we continuously evaluate the growing list of suppliers and material offerings, as to ensure we provide solutions that are consistent, free of contaminants, certified and have the end-use attributes required.  

With the end-use application in mind, we then formulate to support your operations and production.   Careful consideration must be taken on material selection to ensure the customer expectations regarding the product EOL, performance and at the lowest possible cost.
