Description
Reflow Matte rPLA is bioderived from corn starch and recycled food packaging waste. Available in 6 elementary Earth Tones, with a matte finish that removes lines and gloss to produce premium, fine details models.
Reflow of the Netherlands have pioneered an approach to recycle discarded plastic into a range of exceptional sustainable materials for 3D printing. They source the highest quality streams from leading recyclers and work closely with scientific institutions to optimise their filament range. When you print with Reflow youre supporting an established network of recyclers, Makers and designers in tackling plastic pollution while co-creating meaningful work. Reflow rPLA is a bioderived material originally produced from corn starch but recycled again from food packaging waste sourced in the Benelux region. Its easy to print with, durable with excellent print quality. Source Traceability PLA is a highly versatile biopolymer that is economically efficient to synthesise and possesses biodegradable capabilities under the right conditions. It has a range of common applications from cardiovascular implants or PPE in healthcare as well as uses like plastic films, bottles and straws in packaging. Our rPLA is sourced from a consistent stream of food packaging waste, collected and pelletised by a leading recycler in the Benelux region. 
rPLA. Bioderived, Easy to Print with Impeccable Surface Finish PLA or Polylactic acid is a bioderived plastic and the leading filament choice for creators. Our materials original source is corn starch. While PLA can be broken down at the end of life, it does not naturally decompose at speed without industrial composting assistance. That way, by taking PLA food packaging and creating rPLA filament, were extending its life by another cycle. Our rPLA filament prints with accuracy and consistency on all setups, exhibiting flawless surface finish and print quality to produce highly visual and durable finished products. 
These settings are a good steer for printing with this material across a variety of devices. However, optimum settings may vary between printers: 
PLA
Overview
PLA is easy to print, at low cost. Non-toxic and Eco friendly. A perfect starting point for people new to 3D printing.
PLA is created from all-natural renewable resources, and under the correct conditions, is fully biodegradable. This material is typically used for prototypes or decorative prints; Due to the low temperatures and ease of use, features tend to print sharper and more detailed. Its non-toxic nature means that it can be printed for food and medical applications if done so from a sterile and sanitized environment.
However, PLA prints are prone to snapping and breaking under pressure, and become damaged and discolored from high temperatures and prolonged exposure to sunlight or water.
Used for: Design prototypes, Plastic Cups, Medical Implants, Food containers.
