Eco-First 3D Filaments
Compost3D is a Leader in Eco-Friendly Filaments for 3D Printing
Colin Smith — April 10, 2024
B4Plastics is one of the industry leaders in sustainable 3D printing filament production, mostly due to its COMPOST3D filament. Its filament is mainly made from natural raw materials and is 100% compostable. It is the first plastic product ever that you can predict and track in its composting speed on your smartphone, according to the company. This innovative filament offers a soft and shiny appearance, striking a balance between printing convenience and environmental friendliness. It is available in three different colors: Silk White, Terra Brown, and Leaf Green.
Additionally, COMPOST3D has been used in sustainable projects, such as creating compostable fins for river surfing. Bachelor student Walter Grundböck at the New Design University in Austria designed 3D-printed fins using this filament, contributing to a more environmentally friendly approach to surfing. The material’s unique properties allow for reliable printability of harder objects due to its fiber structure, making it an excellent choice for eco-conscious makers. More information on COMPOST3D can be found on the company's official website, linked above.
