What is PHA?
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) is a scientifically proven, fully biodegradable plastic substitute that can be used as a direct replacement for traditional petroleum-based plastics.
Competitive Cost
Spirited will create low-cost PHA by utilizing a waste stream as a feedstock, and creating additional, valuable byproducts in our integrated biorefinery model. Current PHA options cost 10X as much as petroleum-based plastic options, which has greatly limited its adoption and proliferation. Spirited can solve this!
What is PHA?
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) is a scientifically proven fully biodegradable plastic substitute on today that can be used as a direct replacement for traditional petroleum-based plastics. It is a sugar polymer that is naturally found on the Earth, and in our bodies, which is why it can be broken down so easily by the microorganisms in the soil and doesn’t pollute our planet.
Is there a demand for PHA?
Companies such as Amazon, Pepsi, Kimberly Clark, Unilever and others have declared PHA to be the “gold standard” to replace petroleum-plastic. They are all working together with companies like Spirited in GO!PHA. There is 200,000,000 tons of demand for PHA but only 25,000 tons of supply. With Spirited’s model, we believe we can more than double the supply of PHA and become a global leader in proliferating PHA.
How long does it take PHA to degrade in nature?
It depends on the size of the product but even large products begin to break down within weeks of being returned to nature.
Is PHA recyclable?
Yes, it is fully recyclable.
