Grand opening of the Danimer Scientific\u2019s Nodax\u2122 PHA manufacturing plant in Winchester, KY. Many employees, partners, customers and investors came to this event to observe the beginning of a new era of bioplastics.<\/p>\n
Danimer Scientific will produce PHA under the trade name Nodax.<\/p>\n
Nodax PHA is\u00a0100% bio-based\u00a0and\u00a0biodegradable\u00a0in anaerobic, soil, fresh water and marine environments.\u00a0It biodegrades as fast as cellulose powder or wood pulp in a proper waste management setting and will\u00a0biodegrade over\u00a0six months in ocean water.<\/p>\n
Nodax\u2122 PHA has a low melt temperature and crystallinity with broad process window.<\/p>\n
The production of Nodax PHA starts with fermentation: canola oil is consumed by soil bacteria and converted into PHA. The PHA is processed into a powder form and mixed with other biopolymers resulting in a biodegradable plastic resins.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0PHA biopolymer\u00a0will be used to manufacture\u00a0drinking straws, food\u00a0packaging, cups, bottles,\u00a0shopping bags, plates,\u00a0trash bags, labels and more.<\/p>\n
Kentucky provided tax incentives for more than $1.5 million.<\/p>\n
The PHA will be commercially available but the estimated annual production will be around 10.000 tons per year. In other words, supplied on first come, first basis or to strategic partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
