Sustainability
At De Fil en Forme, we are committed to adopting sustainability practices that minimize our environmental impact. We use eco-responsible materials in the manufacture of our products, including PLA, to promote a greener future.
What is PLA?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is an ecological and biodegradable plastic derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugar cane. It is a popular material for 3D printing because it is durable and reduces environmental impact compared to traditional plastics.
How is PLA made? PLA is produced from the fermentation of renewable raw materials such as corn starch. This process converts sugars into lactic acid, which is then polymerized to create PLA. This material is not only biodegradable, but also offers high performance for various applications.
Why is PLA beneficial for the environment?
- Biodegradability : PLA decomposes naturally under industrial composting conditions, reducing plastic waste.
- Renewable Resources : Unlike petroleum-based plastics, PLA is made from renewable raw materials, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels.
- Reduction of CO2 Emissions : The production of PLA generates less greenhouse gases compared to the production of traditional plastics.
By using PLA in our products, we contribute to a circular economy and strive to protect our planet for future generations. Discover our eco-responsible products and join us in our mission for a more sustainable future.
