The need for circular material innovation in 3D printing
In the realm of 3D printing, the significance of material selection cannot be overstated, influencing both performance and aesthetics. BioCir®flex3D seamless compatibility with 3D printing technology not only enhances its value across diverse industries but also ensures responsible end-of-life management through its organic recycling mechanism - biodegradation. This distinctive feature allows 3D-printed items with BioCir®flex3D to undergo complete decomposition and biodegradation in industrial compost facilities leaving no toxic residues behind, marking a substantial stride towards circularity and minimizing environmental impact. BioCir®flex3D not only delivers exceptional quality and durability but also represents a conscientious choice for a circularity in, where innovation meets environmental responsibility.
Balena's BioCir®flex3D boasts flexibility comparable to TPU, ensuring the creation of reliable, long-lasting 3D-printed products. What sets it apart is its groundbreaking biodegradability, minimizing the environmental impact of discarded prints.
For the first time, 3D printing achieves the synthesis of flexibility, durability, and biodegradability in a single biobased material, countering the non-biodegradable nature of TPU that contributes to plastic waste.
