The Complete PHA Container Line — Built to Replace Plastic
Conventional rigid and flexible containers — the yogurt tubs in your fridge, the cosmetic jars on your shelf, the cling wrap in your kitchen, the clamshells at the produce market — are made from petroleum-based plastics that take 400–500 years to break down, and never fully disappear.
Pure Form Solution's PHA container line replaces all of them. Made from polyhydroxyalkanoates — a bioplastic produced through bacterial fermentation of plant-based oils — our containers perform identically to their petroleum counterparts, while biodegrading completely in any environment at end of life.
PHA Yogurt Containers
Our PHA yogurt containers are engineered to replace the billions of conventional polystyrene (PS) and polypropylene (PP) dairy tubs discarded each year. Made from polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), they deliver the same structural rigidity, moisture barrier, and seal-peel lid compatibility that dairy producers require — while being fully compostable at end of life.
Available in single-serve (4–6 oz), multi-serve (16–32 oz), and bulk formats. All containers are food-contact certified, BPA-free, and compatible with existing filling and sealing equipment. Whether they end up in a compost bin, a landfill, or the ocean, PHA containers biodegrade completely within months — leaving no microplastics and no toxic residue.
- ✓100% PHA-based — petroleum-free and fully compostable
- ✓Compatible with heat-seal and snap-lid formats
- ✓Moisture barrier performance matches conventional PP and PS tubs
- ✓Marine, soil, home compost, and industrial composting certified
- ✓BPA-free, phthalate-free, food-contact certified for dairy applications
- ✓Available in 4 oz, 6 oz, 16 oz, and 32 oz formats
PHA Cosmetic Jars
Our PHA cosmetic jars bring truly sustainable packaging to the beauty industry — without forcing brands to compromise on premium presentation. Made from polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), they offer the clarity, weight, and tactile finish that luxury skincare and cosmetic brands demand, while biodegrading completely in marine and soil environments at end of life.
Available in airless pump, wide-mouth jar, and dropper bottle formats to accommodate face creams, serums, body butters, and specialty formulas. All jars meet cosmetic-grade material standards, are compatible with standard filling lines, and can be custom-printed or labeled for brand integration.
- ✓100% PHA-based — petroleum-free and fully compostable
- ✓Available as wide-mouth jars, airless pumps, and dropper bottles
- ✓Cosmetic-grade material — compatible with creams, serums, oils, and gels
- ✓Certified biodegradable in marine and soil environments
- ✓BPA-free, phthalate-free, and fragrance-safe
- ✓Custom print-ready surface and label-compatible finishes
PHA Food Wrap
Conventional plastic wrap (PVDC/PVC cling film) is one of the most difficult plastics to recycle — and one of the most pervasive sources of microplastic contamination in food systems. Our PHA food wrap is an ultra-thin flexible film that delivers the same cling, stretch, and oxygen barrier performance, while biodegrading completely in any environment at end of life.
Available in household rolls (100–200 ft) and commercial catering formats. Cleared for direct food contact with fresh produce, meats, and prepared foods. The PHA film is petroleum-free, BPA-free, and compostable in marine, soil, home, and industrial composting settings — making it the first food wrap that truly disappears after use.
- ✓100% PHA-based flexible film — petroleum-free and fully compostable
- ✓Same cling and stretch performance as conventional PVDC/PVC food wrap
- ✓Oxygen and moisture barrier certified for fresh produce and meat applications
- ✓Cleared for direct food contact — BPA-free and phthalate-free
- ✓Available in 100 ft and 200 ft household rolls and commercial formats
- ✓Biodegrades in marine, soil, home compost, and industrial composting environments
PHA Fresh Produce Boxes
Our PHA fresh produce boxes combine the crystal-clear visibility of conventional PET clamshells with true end-of-life biodegradability. Designed for supermarkets, farmers markets, and food distributors, they showcase the color and quality of fresh produce through the entire retail shelf life — while biodegrading completely when discarded.
Available in standard berry, salad, and mixed-produce configurations with secure snap-closure lids. All produce boxes are food-contact certified, vented for ethylene management, and compatible with existing produce packing lines. Unlike PLA produce packaging that requires industrial composting, PHA produce boxes biodegrade in marine and soil environments — including landfills and compost bins.
- ✓100% PHA-based — petroleum-free and crystal-clear for product visibility
- ✓Secure snap-latch closure for transport and display stability
- ✓Vented design for ethylene management and extended produce freshness
- ✓Certified biodegradable in marine, soil, and home composting environments
- ✓Food-contact certified — BPA-free and petroleum-free
- ✓Available in standard pint, quart, and bulk clamshell configurations
The Science Behind PHA Containers
PHA containers are manufactured to perform exactly like conventional plastic — with a fundamentally different end-of-life outcome.
Bacterial Fermentation
PHA is produced when bacteria ferment plant-based oils and sugars. The result is a natural biopolymer with mechanical properties that rival conventional petroleum-based plastics — with zero fossil fuel inputs.
Drop-In Manufacturing
PHA rigid and flexible containers are produced on standard injection molding, thermoforming, and blown film equipment — requiring no retooling or capital investment for brands making the switch.
True End-of-Life
After use, PHA containers biodegrade completely in marine water, soil, home compost bins, and industrial composting facilities — producing only water and CO₂, with zero microplastic residue.
Plastic Containers Are Everywhere Forever. PHA Containers Are Not.
Every conventional yogurt container, cosmetic jar, produce box, and roll of food wrap ever made still exists in some form today. Conventional plastics break down into progressively smaller fragments — microplastics and nanoplastics — that infiltrate soil, water, and the food chain, persisting for centuries.
PHA bioplastic takes a fundamentally different path. Produced by bacteria from plant-based feedstocks, it is recognized by bacteria in the environment as food. When a PHA container ends up in the ocean, a compost bin, or a landfill, microorganisms consume it completely — leaving only water and carbon dioxide.
No fragments. No toxins. No landfill legacy.
Conventional Plastic vs. PHA
PHA containers match conventional plastic in performance — but the environmental outcomes are entirely different.
Not All Bioplastics Are Equal
PHA is the only bioplastic certified to biodegrade in marine water, soil, home compost, and industrial composting environments — making it the only truly end-of-life-safe alternative to conventional plastic.
Biologically Produced
PHA is created through bacterial fermentation of plant-based oils. No petroleum, no synthetic chemistry. The material is naturally biodegradable at every stage — from production to end of life.
Marine & Soil Certified
Unlike PLA, which requires industrial composting, PHA degrades completely in marine and soil environments — certified biodegradable even under the most challenging real-world disposal conditions.
Food & Cosmetic Grade
PHA containers meet food-contact and cosmetic-grade standards — BPA-free, phthalate-free, and approved for direct contact with dairy products, fresh produce, and skincare formulations.
Zero Toxic Residue
When PHA breaks down, it produces only water and CO₂ — no microplastics, no BPA, no heavy metals. It is the only packaging material that leaves zero harmful residue after complete degradation.
