Specialization

Biobased Polymer Compound
PHA-Based Biomaterials
Biodegradable Resin

Keywords

REO™
PHA
Biopolymer Compound

Dasiwave develops REO™, a specialized biobased compound line formulated with microbial PHA.
REO™ is designed as a microplastic-free, biodegradable material that can return to nature without toxic residues.
Through proprietary compounding technology, Dasiwave improves raw PHA into high-performance materials for commercial applications.
The company targets injection molding, film, extrusion, thermoforming, and 3D printing applications.

(1) Problem Definition / Development Background

Conventional plastics create microplastic pollution and long-term environmental burden.
Some bioplastics, such as PLA, often require industrial composting facilities and may not degrade easily in diverse natural environments.
Commercial applications need biodegradable materials that also provide heat resistance, stiffness, toughness, and processability.

(2) Value Proposition / Solution

REO™ provides a PHA-based material solution that is biobased, biodegradable, and microplastic-free.
The material can degrade naturally in diverse environments, including marine ecosystems and home composting conditions.
Dasiwave improves PHA’s commercial usability through compounding, phase control, and crystallization technologies.
REO™ helps replace petroleum-based plastics in consumer goods, packaging, agricultural film, aquaculture, and 3D printing.

True Biopolymer: PHA is synthesized by microorganisms and provides a circular biopolymer alternative.
Natural Degradation: Designed to return to nature without leaving microplastics or toxic residues.
High Heat Resistance: REO™ achieves HDT of approximately 110–130°C depending on grade.
Mechanical Performance: REO™ shows bending modulus of around 1,600–2,000 MPa, comparable to ABS and superior to PP.
Processing Versatility: Applicable to injection molding, cast film, thermoforming, and 3D printing.
Certified Marine Application: Developed Korea’s first and only officially certified marine-biodegradable buoy material.
