What is marine-safe PHA?
PHA is a bio-based polymer produced through natural fermentation. Engineered to perform like conventional plastic in everyday use, it biodegrades naturally in marine and soil environments without leaving microplastics behind. It represents a next-generation material designed to reduce long-term environmental impact while maintaining real-world durability.
How is PHA different from other sustainable materials?
Unlike recyclable plastics or many so-called compostables, PHA fully biodegrades without leaving persistent microplastics. While most compostable plastics require tightly controlled industrial facilities, PHA can break down in natural environments, including soil and marine conditions. It does not fragment. It returns safely to nature.
What does the transition to PHA look like?
We guide partners from concept through testing, specification and rollout. Our team remains closely involved to ensure alignment across creative, operational and sustainability priorities, reducing friction and accelerating adoption.
Does PHA perform like conventional plastic?
Yes. PHA is engineered to meet the functional and durability standards required for commercial applications. It offers strength, heat resistance and usability comparable to conventional plastics, enabling transition without compromising performance.
What happens if PHA ends up in landfill or the ocean?
PHA is designed to biodegrade safely even when waste systems fail. In natural environments, including marine conditions, it breaks down without leaving persistent microplastics. It does not rely solely on industrial composting to begin its biodegradation process.
Is PHA recyclable or compostable?
PHA can be composted within appropriate systems and is compatible with certain organic waste streams. However, its key advantage is that it does not rely exclusively on industrial composting to break down safely, unlike many compostable plastics.
Is PHA commercially competitive?
Yes. Terra Sol’s PHA products are commercially competitive with conventional materials. In most cases, transitioning to PHA is a material shift, not a budget increase. Backed by Australian manufacturing and scalable production, we support adoption without disrupting operational efficiency.
How does Terra Sol work with EcoPHA?
Terra Sol is the exclusive design and commercial partner for EcoPHA’s patented marine-safe PHA technology. We bridge material science and brand execution, integrating advanced PHA into scalable, real-world products across multiple sectors.
