    Woah, I know they are targeting this for packaging but I hope that this holds up well for uses in 3D printing.

    PLA is already the go-to 3D printing filament for a lot of people and making it actually compostable at home and not “bio-degradable asterix, in an industrial compost” could go a long way to alleviating the waste from failed prints, skirts, brims, support material, etc…
