It only breaks down under industrial environments. It’s not as “biodegradable” as claimed. I use PETG because I can recycle it with normal plastics recycling.
It breaks down in high heat, high water environments, aka thermophilic composting. This makes it ideal for agricultural and food waste. You’re right though it doesn’t recycle well.
Out of curiosotiy where would something like 3D printing be placed?
While a problem yes, miniscule compared to industrial waste
I think they meant personally, not global.
well, dont huff your prints or put them in your mouth or other body orifices. Pretty simple
Pretty bad, especially with people sanding down productions and stuff.
PLA I think just breaks down into lactic acid eventually, but the ABS probably isnt so good
