Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are bacterial polymers that are formed as naturally occurring storage polyesters by a wide range of microorganisms usually under unbalanced growth conditions. Mechanical properties of PHAs make them suitable replacements for petrochemically produced bulk plastics (polyethylene, polypropylene etc.), but in contrast to these commodity plastics PHA are completely degradable to carbon dioxide and water through natural microbiological mineralization. 

Biodegradability and biocompatibility are main characteristics that allow PHAs to be competitive in special market sectors like disposable packages; in agriculture - systems for prolonged release of fertilizers and agrochemicals; in medicine – medical devices and systems of sustained drug delivery.

We have developed highly cost effective eco friendly technology indigenously and are working on further applications of PHA.
