🌊 World Ocean Day

Our oceans sustain life, regulate our climate, and connect communities around the globe. Yet, plastic pollution continues to threaten marine ecosystems and biodiversity.

At Kaneka Green Planet™, we are committed to being part of the solution. Our biodegradable biopolymers are designed to reduce environmental impact, helping to prevent persistent plastic waste from accumulating in our oceans.

On this World Ocean Day, we renew our commitment to innovation that supports a more sustainable future. Together, we can protect our oceans and preserve them for generations to come.

Let’s take action, today and every day. 🌎💙

We had an incredible time at the National Restaurant Association Show and want to extend a big thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth. It was great connecting with so many passionate professionals who care about the future of foodservice.

We are excited about the conversations we had and the opportunities ahead. We can’t wait to partner with you to help your company move toward a more sustainable future with our home compostable, biobased products.

If we didn’t get a chance to connect or you’d like to continue the conversation, feel free to reach out. Looking forward to what we can build together.

🌱 Rethinking Plastics Starts Here 🌱

Kaneka Green Planet® biodegradable polymers are redefining what’s possible in sustainable materials—without sacrificing performance.

Designed as a bio‑based alternative to traditional plastics, Green Planet materials are made from renewable plant‑based feedstocks and engineered to return safely to nature at end of life.

✅ Certified home compostable
✅ Industrially compostable
✅ Marine biodegradable
✅ Heat resistant and stable during everyday use
✅ Compatible with conventional plastic processing equipment

From cutlery, straws, bags, cups, and packaging films to a wide range of single‑use applications, Kaneka Green Planet enables brands to move beyond fossil‑based plastics while maintaining functionality, durability, and safety.

This is not about choosing sustainability or performance.
With Kaneka Green Planet®, you get both.

Let’s move from plastic dependency to planet‑forward solutions. 🌍

🌎 This Earth Day, let’s talk about where plastic waste really begins.

The global plastic challenge does not start at the landfill or in the ocean. It starts much earlier, at the materials design stage.

For too long, plastics have been designed with performance in mind, without accounting for what happens at the end of their life. At Kaneka Green Planet, we believe sustainability begins upstream. When materials are designed to work in harmony with nature, waste becomes a solvable problem.

Our PHBH™ biodegradable polymer is designed at the molecular level to deliver performance while returning safely to the environment. Because protecting the planet is not just about managing waste. It is about preventing it through better material choices.

40% of plastic produced is for packaging. Most of it is used once, discarded, and rarely recycled.

🌱It is time to Rethink Plastics.

Materials matter. Choosing better ones can reduce long-term environmental impact while still meeting performance and scale requirements.

🪴Kaneka Green Planet® (PHBH) is:

• Biobased (made from plant material)

• Home compostable

• Marine and soil biodegradable

• Designed to return to nature, even if it escapes proper waste systems such as composting

No single material will solve the plastic problem on its own. But replacing persistent plastics with solutions designed to safely biodegrade is a meaningful step toward a circular future. 🍃

The question is no longer whether change is needed. It is how quickly we act on it.🌎

Of the 48 Million Tons of plastic waste generated every year in the USA, only 6% is recycled. Let that sink in.

Despite increased awareness and better recycling systems, the vast majority of plastic still ends up in landfills, the environment, or our oceans.
It’s time to

Kaneka Green Planet® biodegradable polymers (PHBH) are designed with a fundamentally different end-of-life in mind. Unlike conventional plastics, these materials are:

🪴Home compostable, without requiring industrial composting conditions

🌊 Marine biodegradable, helping reduce long-term environmental impact if leakage occurs

🧫 Naturally consumed by microorganisms, even if they end up in landfill environments

In other words, Kaneka Green Planet® polymers are engineered to return to nature, not remain there for centuries.

Rethinking plastic is not about small improvements. It is about reimagining materials, systems, and responsibility from the start.

The future of plastics must work with the planet, not against it.

Single‑use does not have to mean single‑use plastic.

Kaneka Green Planet® home compostable straws and cutlery are made with bio‑based PHA. They are designed to perform like conventional plastic while helping reduce long‑term plastic pollution.

✔ Home compostable

✔ Heat resistant

✔ Made from renewable plant‑based materials

From foodservice to events, these products offer a practical step toward sustainability without changing the user experience.

The future of everyday items should work for people and the planet.

Let’s move beyond traditional plastics.

In the United States, more than 40 billion plastic utensils are thrown away every year. Most of these utensils never get recycled because they are too small for sorting equipment and are often contaminated with food. This means they end up in landfills or in the environment where they can last for centuries.
There is a better option.

Kaneka Green Planet offers a certified biodegradable alternative that can replace traditional plastic utensils without sacrificing performance. Our material is home compostable, marine biodegradable, and biobased, which gives brands and foodservice operators a real path toward reducing plastic waste.

By choosing a material that returns to nature instead of polluting it, companies can make a measurable impact on sustainability goals and meet rising consumer expectations for responsible packaging.

By the time you finish reading this post…

120 METRIC TONS OF NEW, FOSSIL-BASED PLASTIC will be produced. Most of it will never be recycled.

This cycle repeats every day, and the impact grows with every product made from traditional petroleum-based plastics.

But there is a better way.

🌍Kaneka Green Planet Changes the Story

Kaneka Green Planet biodegradable polymers offer a compostable alternative to traditional plastic. They are Home Compostable, which means they break down under everyday composting conditions without requiring industrial facilities.

Our material can replace many everyday items currently made from conventional plastics, including:

Cutlery
Straws
Bottles
Bags
Cups
Film
Wrap
Flexible pouches
Food containers
Lids
Trays

Nearly every disposable plastic item we rely on can be redesigned using Kaneka’s PHA-based biodegradable polymer technology.
