PHAs : Polyhydroxy alcanoates

PHAs are thermoplastic polyesters produced using annually renewable biomass like maize or different sugars obtained from agricultural activities. In time, ongoing developments in industrialisation will allow producing these polymers from waste material or by-products from various industries.
