Kaneka Green Planet

Kaneka Green Planet­® compound is a 100% biobased PHA biopolymer produced via a revolutionary bio-fermentation process using renewable plant oils as feedstock. Kaneka Green Planet® compounds can replace common plastic products such as plates, straws, cups, cutlery, film, pouches, or any other single-use items. Our compound grades can be used in traditional extrusion, injection molding, and blown film applications. Kaneka Green Planet® PHBH compounds are bio-based, strongly resistant to heat, and can act as a barrier to water vapor.

Kaneka Green Planet® compound grades are stable under everyday usage conditions. When no longer needed, and given the right conditions under either aerobic, anaerobic, or marine conditions in the natural environment, they will begin to degrade and will convert back into nature. 

• Kaneka Green Planet Compounds are a 100% bio-based polymer produced with plant oils through a novel bio-fermentation process which puts no negative impact on the carbon cycle.
•  Kaneka Green Planet Compounds are compostable and biodegrade in soil. This also helps to reduce plastic waste on land.
•  Kaneka Green Planet Compounds biodegrade even in seawater without any harm or toxicity to marine life.
