Sustainable Materials Used By InkBuiltUK With Brief Descriptions
PLA (Polylactic Acid): PLA is a biodegradable and compostable thermoplastic derived from renewable resources, such as cornstarch or sugarcane. It is a popular choice for 3D printing due to its eco-friendly nature and ability to produce durable and intricate designs.
Biopolymer: Biopolymers are polymers derived from renewable resources, such as plants, algae, or microorganisms. They offer a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics and have a lower carbon footprint. Biopolymers used by InkBuiltUK are carefully selected for their eco-friendly properties and biodegradability.
Wood Hybrid Polylactic Acid: Wood hybrid polylactic acid is a composite material that combines PLA with wood fibers or particles. It provides a unique aesthetic appeal, resembling the look and feel of wood while maintaining the sustainability benefits of PLA. This material offers a natural and eco-friendly option for creating home decor and fashion products.
Recycled ABS Filament: ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a commonly used thermoplastic, but InkBuiltUK takes it a step further by utilising recycled ABS filament. By incorporating recycled materials into their manufacturing process, they reduce waste and promote a circular economy. Recycled ABS filament maintains the durability and versatility of ABS while reducing its environmental impact.
All of the sustainable materials and packaging used by InkBuiltUK reflect their commitment to eco-friendly practices, promoting responsible consumption, and offering products that align with a greener lifestyle.
