Biodegradable Products Revolutionizing Plastics Green Planet PHA-based biopolymers can replace traditional plastics.

A Biobased Alternative to
Traditional Plastic

Kaneka’s Green Planet^® Biodegradable Polymer can replace traditional plastic products such as straws, cups, cutlery, film, pouches, packaging, or other single-use items.

Marine

Stable Under Everyday Usage Conditions

Green Planet Compounds won’t degrade on your countertop. When no longer needed, and given the right conditions, they will begin to degrade in various environments.

From Nature,
Back to Nature

Green Planet Compounds are PHA-based, biodegradable polymers produced via a revolutionary bio-fermentation process. Green Planet Compounds are biobased, strongly resistant to heat, and can act as a barrier to water vapor.

Suitable for Many Applications

Green Planet Compound grades can be used in traditional extrusion, injection molding, and blown film applications. Green Planet Compounds can replace almost any single-use plastic item.
