In the insightful article “How to Extrusion Blow Mold PHA/PLA Blends” from Plastics Technology Online, the shift towards sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics is highlighted. With the current legislative landscape favoring eco-friendly choices and consumer demands for sustainable options, bioplastics have gained prominence.

Recognizing the evolving needs of the market and addressing the challenges that previously hindered the widespread adoption of bioplastics, the development of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-based resins, often blended with polylactic acid (PLA), presents a promising solution.

PHAs, naturally biodegradable materials produced through bacterial fermentation, offer a sustainable alternative. After fermentation and careful processing, PHA is combined with PLA, resulting in compostable and degradable bioplastic resins suitable for various applications, including blow molding.

With expertise in extrusion blow molding PHA/PLA blends, the industry is at the forefront of providing eco-friendly solutions that meet the demands of both legislation and environmentally conscious consumers.
