Phitons Bioengineering is a Bangalore, India based organization that is the result of scientists, technologists, engineers and socially conscious entrepreneurs coming together to make a compelling contribution to biophilic design and development.
It started in 2018 with a food and personal nutrition development company seeing an opportunity in Biodegradable materials. Such a novel material comprising of Sugar polymers and Biodegradable Polyester in a mono, continuous and homogeneous phase was found to be capable of being sufficiently hydrophobic and highly processable with excellent mechanical properties. This material gets easily converted to blown films, extruded shapes and molded objects. It is also a unique matrix material for creating several other specialized and functionalized compounds with increased stiffness and functionalities.
Phimer is a special class of sugar polymer based biodegradable material that breaks down after its intended purpose by microbial decomposition process to result in natural byproducts such as gases (CO2), water, biomass, and inorganic salts. Phimer is non-toxic and biophilic by nature. Importantly, apart from being eco-friendly, it has excellent processability, good mechanical properties until degraded and a viable economic alternative to cheap plastics. There are a number of Phimer grades that are under development that can be tailored to achieve specific end-uses. This new-age material has already been shown to form into packaging film, bubble wrap film, straws, molded containers and utensils, and bottles.

A biophilic Re-evolution
Becoming the global benchmark in sustainable packaging, leading the charge to diminish and eradicate microplastics, thereby fostering a healthier planet for generations to come.
Join us to lead the transition towards a healthy and sustainable future by eliminating microplastics.
As part of the global CJ Group, Korea & USA and its CJ BIO division, we have the core technology platforms across four continents that are necessary to implement PHA-based solutions at scale.
Established in 1964, CJ CheilJedang has 13 global manufacturing facilities Worldwide.
CJ Biomaterials has expertise in four platforms to achieve these goals: biotechnology, chemical engineering, materials innovation and consumer applications development.
CJ Biomaterials develops meaningful solutions that positively affect our planet and human health and well-being by addressing the challenges posed by fossil fuel-based technologies – including plastic waste. CJ Biomaterials invents and manufactures bio-based chemicals and biopolymers as part of a long-term vision to create a more sustainable future by offering circular solutions that replace many non-recyclable, non-reusable and fossil fuel-based plastics and chemicals.
Investing in the future of our planet and our lives.
At CJ Biomaterials, we invent and manufacture biopolymers and bio-based chemicals. We do it because we have a long-term vision to introduce technologies that will help create a more sustainable future, offering true circular solutions to replace many non-recyclable, non-reusable and fossil fuel-based plastics and chemicals.
We have the technology to address our challenges
How we create and manage plastic waste today affects virtually every facet of our lives. It contributes to greenhouse gases and climate change. Plastic waste affects our quality of life – from global animal health to our use of land and waterways. Plastic waste is also a human health issue as new science points to its adverse effects on our bodies.
CJ Biomaterials is a global leader in the manufacture of PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates) – both polymers and related chemistries. PHAs are a family of biobased and biodegradable polyesters made by bacterial fermentation. Our brand for our biopolymers is PHACT™. PHACT stands for PHA+ACTION.
Our PHAs replace fossil fuel-based polymers, delivering high-performing biomaterials with multiple end of life solutions.
Decoupling plastics from fossil feedstocks
PHACT biopolymers are plant-based and feature a sustainable manufacturing process. Alone or when blended with other polymers, they dramatically improve environmental characteristics while enhancing physical properties in a broad range of consumer applications. They are certified biodegradable under industrial compost, soil (ambient), and marine environments. They are also TUV-certified home compostable, offering a range of end-of-life solutions.
A World of Applications
No matter what industry you’re coming from or which types of products you’re developing, CJ Biomaterials wants to talk about how we can enhance your sustainability. We have dedicated teams in South Korea and the United States who focus on developing manufacturing solutions using PHA and other polymers. Together, we can create ‘tunable solutions’ that meet your needs in anything from flexible and rigid packaging, serviceware, 3D printing and agricultural films to coatings, personal care, and healthcare.
