PGA Technology
Truly biodegradable, multi-purpose, plastic made from CO2 and hydrogen. Our solution to the plastic waste crisis. Made from waste CO2: Polyglycolic acid (Polyglycolide) (PGA) is a fully biodegradable plastic with distinctive properties, but it is currently made from fossil fuels. OXCCU is working on a novel process to make it from waste CO2.

Biocompatible & biodegradable
PGA is uniquely biocompatible and biodegradable at end-of-life in any environment including marine environments (sea water) in a matter of months.
It degrades naturally and fully to only water and CO2 with no methane emissions.
Unique mix of properties
PGA has very good barrier properties to O2, H2O, and other organic vapours, exceptional tensile and flexural strength and a high heat deflection temperature.
Applications include:
speciality engineering plastic
films
high-tech fibres and coatings
3D printing filaments
biomedical plastics
agricultural plastics
poly-tunnels
silage and mulching
food packaging
plastic bags
bottles
