      It’s biodegradable in an industrial composter, and degrades in sunlight. Sure it’s not perfect, but compared to everything else its impact is minimal.

      PLA doesn’t not hold up to the elements. sunlight breaks it down

      it turns to floppy noodle in summer heat

      do you even know anything about PLA?

        sorry for spez site but here you go

        I use PLA all the time and I get that it degrades in sunlight, but every fucking plastic does. Degradation isn’t decomposition and you can still enjoy 3D printing while understanding that it’s not 100% environment friendly
