POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES PROPERTIES AND MODIFICATION FOR HIGH VOLUME APPLICATIONS... 

Several excellent reviews have appeared, dealing with various aspects of the preparation, production, and properties of polyhydroxyalkanoates [1-5]. In the present review, the potential of PHAs will be discussed for high volume application, packaging being the main target. The drawbacks will be shown and possible ways of remediation will be outlined. A major part of the review is devoted to poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), which is the simplest species in PHA homologous series.
