COLORFABB'S BIODEGRADABLE AND SUSTAINABLE FILAMENTS
CIRCULAR MATERIALS DESIGNED BY NATURE
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 filament allPHA is made out of natural materials as a replacement for traditional petrochemical plastics. One could label this material as bioplastics and biopolymers. They are based on various PHA building blocks.
allPHA is 100% biodegradable and since it is a fully natural material, produced through bacterial fermentation, it contains no microplastics.
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.
PH... WHAT?!
