Polymaker PolyTerra PLA Filament

PolyTerra™️ PLA is a bioplastic-based 3D printing filament engineered from the ground up to represent the next generation of PLA. It offers exceptional ease of use, print quality, speed, and reliability, making it a go-to choice for sustainable and efficient 3D printing.

In short, no—PolyTerra™ PLA will not biodegrade if simply discarded in nature, such as on the side of the road.
It requires specific conditions found in industrial composting facilities to break down effectively.

We developed a unique formula that degrades faster than regular PLA under the right conditions, while still maintaining excellent printability. This represents a meaningful step forward in addressing the end-of-life impact of PLA within the 3D printing industry.
