What if there was a sustainable alternative to plastic use that was biologically responsible? Rick Passenier believes there is such a substance at our disposal: PolyHydroxyAlkanoate (PHA)...

Rick is the co-founder and executive board member of GO!PHA, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to making PHA more widely accessible. In doing so, they want to offer huge advantages that rival conventional, oil-based polymers. So, could this be the next big step in mitigating plastic waste? Tune in now to find out for yourself!

In this conversation, we discuss:

  • How PHA is used, and where it comes from.
  • What makes PHA different from other bioplastics.
  • The intriguing origins of PHA.
  • The ways to effectively and efficiently produce PHA.
