Knowledge - Materials - Solutions

PHA compounds All our materials are created with various PHA building blocks, combined to achieve specific material characteristics for a wide range of applications. We are able to develop, test and produce our fully biobased and 100% biodegradable compounds in-house, ensuring an agile, sustainable and lean development process.
Every customer their own needs. Every application its own material. Every material its own specific requirements.
How we work

Easy: it starts with you contacting us. Either by phone, email or the contact form. We will set up a call and discuss your needs, wishes and the functionality of the end product. From there we will start working based on this information and develop a proposal. Lead times differ depending on your needs.

Have a look at the materials we already developed and are readily available to order. Some materials are made to order, others are available from stock.
