While many 3D printing enthusiasts use ABS filament, there is cause for concern due to the environmental issues with its inability to biodegrade due to being petroleum-based — while PLA filament is vegetable-based and can be recycled. 3D Printlife and Sierra Resins have come together to create an ABS bio-filament that can be consumed by bacteria in landfills, causing it to biodegrade.
