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. It is a sustainable product sourced naturally and for every spool sold a tree is planted to give back to the earth. Is PolyTerra PLA biodegradable? 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.
