Plastics Technology: How to Extrusion Blow Mold PHA/PLA Blends

Blow molding is a process mainly used for bottles. Various GO!PHA partners have managed to create pure PHA and PHA-based blends to make PHA bottles a possibility!

PHA: Imagine bottles made by using PHA, a biodegradable plastic alternative produced by living organisms found in the ocean, plants, and even the human body. Companies like Cove are leading the way with the world’s first PHA water bottle. PHA is not only biodegradable but also naturally-occurring, and it produces zero persistent or toxic waste as it breaks down. Check out Cove's work here: https://cove.co

PHA-based Blends: The combination of PHA with other materials, such as polylactic acid (PLA), opens up exciting possibilities in blow molding. These blends offer unique characteristics and sustainable solutions for a wide range of applications.
