Is Panchroma™ Matte PLA biodegradable?
The short answer is no—at least not in the way most people imagine. It won’t break down if tossed by the side of the road. Panchroma™ Matte PLA requires specific conditions, such as those found in industrial composting facilities, to properly degrade.

However, we’ve developed a unique formula that allows Panchroma™ Matte PLA to degrade faster than standard PLA, without compromising on printability. This represents a meaningful step forward in improving the environmental impact and end-of-life options for PLA within our industry.
