Frequently Asked Questions About PHA Food Packaging
What is PHA Food Packaging made of?
PHA Food Packaging is made from 100% PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates), a bio-based polyester produced by bacterial fermentation of renewable feedstock. Unlike petroleum-based plastics, PHA is derived from non-food plant sugars using Chinese indigenous bacterial strains. The material is certified by BPI, TUV Austria (OK Compost HOME, OK Compost MARINE), and DIN CERTCO for complete biodegradation in ocean, soil, home compost, and industrial compost environments.
How long does PHA Food Packaging take to biodegrade?
PHA Food Packaging biodegrades completely within 6-18 months in home compost. In industrial composting facilities (58°C+), degradation occurs in 3-6 months. In marine environments, complete biodegradation takes 1-3 years. The process produces only CO2, water, and biomass — no microplastics or toxic residues remain.
What certifications does PHA Food Packaging hold?
PHA Food Packaging holds OK Compost INDUSTRIAL, Food Grade FDA, EU 10/2011, LFGB. These certifications verify that the product meets international standards for biodegradability, compostability, and food contact safety. PHApack products are tested per EN 13432, ASTM D6400, ISO 14855, and ASTM D6691 standards by independent laboratories.
What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?
The standard MOQ for PHA Food Packaging is 500 kg. Lead time is typically 15-25 days after order confirmation. For custom OEM orders with specific dimensions, colors, or branded printing, lead time may extend to 25-35 days. Trial orders from 100kg are available for evaluation.
Can PHA Food Packaging be customized with our brand logo?
Yes, PHApack provides full OEM/ODM services for PHA Food Packaging. Customization options include custom dimensions, colors, flexographic printing up to 6 colors, private label packaging, and branded embossing.
