Polymaker PolyTerra™ Edition-R is a PLA filament containing 30% post-industrially recycled PLA. This PLA enhances the sustainability of an already eco-friendly material (PolyTerra™) without compromising print quality or properties. With a matte black finish, this recycled PLA filament is perfect for everyday applications. What is post-industrially recycled PLA? Post-industrially recycled PLA refers to a type of recycled polylactic acid (PLA) derived from industrial waste generated during the manufacturing process of PLA-based products. Instead of using virgin raw materials, post-industrially recycled PLA is produced by collecting and reprocessing excess PLA materials, trim, or defective PLA products that would otherwise be discarded as waste. The recycling process involves sorting, cleaning, and processing the collected PLA waste to remove any impurities, and then converting it into new PLA pellets or filaments that can be used to manufacture new PLA-based products. By using post-industrially recycled PLA, companies can reduce their environmental impact by minimizing waste and the consumption of new resources. This contributes to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to manufacturing and product development.
