About

NENU2PHAR developed PHA bioplastics using microalgae cultivated with CO₂ as a carbon source and demonstrated the material in a roll-on bottle for cosmetic packaging.

The bottle provides a renewable alternative to petrochemical plastic packaging. Where recycling or remanufacturing is not possible, the PHA material is designed to safely and fully degrade in water.

Key benefits

  • Uses microalgae-derived bio-based plastic
  • Reduces reliance on petrochemical packaging plastics
  • Demonstrates a biodegradable cosmetic-packaging format

Application

  • Cosmetic packaging
  • Roll-on bottles
