Nodax® PHA by Danimer Scientific
Description
Nodax® PHA – 100% Marine & Soil Biodegradable Biopolymer
The material: Developed by Danimer Scientific, Nodax® is a signature PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoate) biopolymer that offers a true, zero-greenwashing solution to the global plastic crisis. Unlike traditional plastics or industrial-compost-only bioplastics (like PLA), Nodax® is synthesized naturally by soil bacteria consuming renewable plant oils (such as canola or soy). The result is a highly versatile, high-performance biopolymer that matches the flexibility and strength of conventional petrochemical plastics (like PE, PP, and PET) but returns entirely to nature. Whether it ends up in a home compost bin, the soil, or even the ocean, Nodax® is recognized by microorganisms as a food source and degrades entirely in a matter of months, leaving absolutely zero microplastics behind. It is the ultimate drop-in solution for flexible packaging, rigid bottles, paper coatings, and single-use food service items.

Analysis & Certificates
Many materials claim to be "biodegradable" but require industrial facilities reaching 60°C to break down, misleading consumers and polluting the environment when disposed of improperly. Danimer Scientific's Nodax® PHA cuts through the greenwashing. Verified by the University of Georgia and TUV Austria, Nodax® naturally biodegrades in marine environments, soil, and home composts, serving as a true circular alternative to fossil-based plastics.
Danimer Scientific’s PHA is the first bioplastic resin to be certified by TUV (formerly Vinçotte) as biodegradable and compostable in all mediums, including soil, compost, freshwater and saltwater environments. In addition to having all the biodegradable certifications, Danimer Scientific’s PHA is FDA approved for use in food-contact applications. Not only does the material biodegrade completely, it leaves behind no harmful footprint. As a truly unique bioplastic, PHA’s potential uses span a wide range of single-use plastic applications.
