Recycled PLA filament - Since 2013, Protopasta has valued quality, reliability, and creativity. We seek to reduce waste in our production and build relationships in our community. We’ve taken many steps over the years to ensure our commitment to these values. The next phase of this commitment is finally here: Recycled PLA! We’ve collected our high-quality waste stream and turned it into high-quality recycled filament.
Recycled and Fully Compounded - An original, one-of-a-kind Protopasta Recycled PLA filament. Made from our very own rescued waste stream. Compare to Black PLA, but with some sparkles based on waste stream. Fully compounded to ensure consistency throughout a batch
