PolyTerra™️ PLA is a bioplastic based 3d printing filament designed from the ground up to create the next generation of PLA, providing ease of use, printing quality, speed and reliability.
The short answer is no in a way that it would not degrade when throwing it on the side of the road. PolyTerra™ PLA requires specific conditions to degrade which can be achieved in industrial composting facilities.
We developed a formula which can degrade faster than regular PLA while maintaining excellent printability which allows a step forward towards improving the end of life of our PLA in our industry.
