With sustainability and circularity at the top of our priorities, we can say we have created a material for additive manufacturing which not only delivers a great material to print with, but is also good for the environment. Polyhydroxyalkanoate ( PHAs ) polymer filament is a material made and eaten by micro organisms (bacteria). PHA is often called the sleeping giant of polymers. It provides a unique opportunity as a solution for reducing greenhouse gases, environmental plastics pollution, and establishing a circular economy. Our allPHA printed products can be composted at home or in industrial composters and can be recycled. When littering occurs with products printed with allPHA, they simply biodegrade back into nature, unlike plastics. This includes in the ocean – without generating microplastics!
