Built to perform. Built to last — or not.

PHA is produced by bacteria that are fed organic feedstocks like plant sugars or vegetable oils. Under the right conditions those bacteria naturally accumulate PHA as an energy reserve inside their cells, essentially producing plastic biologically. That material is then extracted, purified into pellets, and run through injection molding just like conventional plastics except at end of life it fully biodegrades in natural environments, including soil and marine settings. On its own, PHA is brittle and difficult to process for high impact applications. Through extensive R&D, we've engineered a formulation that delivers competitive flight performance and durability while remaining biodegradable.
