PLA is one of the most common and popular 3D printer consumables and is affordable. PLA is a polymer (polylactic acid) composed of small lactic acid units. The lactic acid of PLA consumables comes from corn and is made from starch raw materials extracted from corn. Polylactic acid is one of the most used consumables for FDM 3D printers. It is easy to 3D print and extrude melts at 180°C.

The degradation of PLA material needs to meet the following conditions: a large number of microorganisms; At high temperature, 60℃, the microorganisms will degrade PLA. Humidity. The higher the humidity, the higher the hydrolysis efficiency.

When the conditions are met, the PLA is buried deep in the soil and can cause signs of decay within 6 months. But PLA takes longer to degrade at room temperature and pressure. In an ordinary room, PLA consumables will last a long time. In addition, sunlight does not accelerate biodegradation (except for heat), and UV rays simply cause the material to lose color and turn pale, the same effect as most plastics.
