In May 2026, CJ Biomaterials introduced a compostable extrusion coating resin, PHACT CB0504A, for foodservice packaging. The company is a part of CJ CheilJedang and is a non-toxic solution. The resin is widely used in cold and hot paper cups. The resin is designed for extrusion paper coatings.
The new resin is manufactured by fermentation of renewable sugars. The resin doesn’t keep persistent microplastics behind. The new resin is a soft material and is ideal for PLA extrusion coatings. The resin is manufactured using semi-crystalline PHA and amorphous PHA. The new resin is the best alternative for non-compostable coatings.
PHACT CB504A does not contain PFAS, and resin also uses PHACT A1000P. The resin is a soft material, and PHACT A1000P offers high-heat stability to the new resin. The resin is easily produced on existing manufacturing equipment and is bio-based. The resin consists of Dual-PHA technology and offers excellent environmental performance.
PHACT CB504A secured OK biodegradable MARINE, TUV Austria’s TUV’s Austria’s OK compost Home, and OK compost Industrial certification. PHACT CB504A is repulpable and does not require costly machinery. The resin is safe for food and offers excellent grease resistance.
The new resin is widely used across rigid and flexible packaging. The applications of PHACT CB504A are food serviceware, cold paper cups, beverage serviceware, and hot paper cups. The new resin offers excellent processing efficiency and high environmental safety. The new resin offers superior liquid resistance and offers exceptional biodegradability.
The first cup coated with the new resin plans to launch in the upcoming THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson Golf Tournament.
The headquarters of the company is in South Korea. The green biotechnology company is the major producer of polyhydroxyalkanoate. The company works on core technologies like aPHA and PHACT PHA. The company’s product range includes paper & cardboard coating, agricultural films, flexible packaging, and rigid packaging. The company integrates PHA into various sectors like consumer goods, serviceware, cosmetics, and food packaging. The company focuses on developing blended solutions and mass production.
