As global awareness of environmental responsibility continues to grow, Kaneka Green Planet® is emerging as a trailblazer in sustainable innovation within the plastics industry. At the heart of this transformation is Kaneka Corporation, whose cutting-edge materials are redefining how we produce, use, and dispose of plastics.

Bio-Based Breakthrough: PHBH™ from Kaneka

To begin with, Kaneka’s flagship innovation—Green Planet PHBH™—is a 100% bio-based polymer derived from renewable vegetable oils. Unlike traditional plastics, PHBH™ is engineered to biodegrade naturally in soil, water, and marine environments. As a result, it leaves behind no harmful residues, making it an ideal solution for industries seeking eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastics.

Expanding the Circular Economy

Moreover, Kaneka’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond biodegradable materials. Their diverse portfolio includes:
  • Impact modifiers and processing aids, which improve recyclability.
  • Eperan foam beads containing up to 30% post-consumer recycled polypropylene.
  • Biobased MS polymer backbones for adhesives and sealants with a reduced environmental footprint.
Together, these innovations support a circular economy, enabling manufacturers to reduce waste and enhance the lifecycle of plastic products.

Seamless Industry Integration

In addition, one of Kaneka’s most practical advantages is that PHBH™ can be processed using standard plastic manufacturing equipment, such as:
  • Injection molding
  • Extrusion
  • Blown film lines
Consequently, companies can adopt sustainable materials without needing to overhaul their existing production systems.

Safe, PFAS-Free Materials

Importantly, Kaneka’s materials are PFAS-free and contain no harmful additives, aligning with evolving global regulations and growing consumer demand for non-toxic, environmentally safe products.

Why Kaneka Matters

Ultimately, Kaneka Green Planet is more than just a materials provider—it’s a leader in environmental stewardship. By investing in carbon capture research, marine-safe polymers, and recyclable solutions, Kaneka is helping industries worldwide reduce their environmental impact and meet ambitious sustainability goals. Whether your business operates in food packaging, agriculture, or marine applications, Kaneka’s innovations offer a clear path toward a cleaner, greener future.
