Please develop a different, self-degrading material - we already have too many plastic material in the ocean and it is a major problem - you certainly did read about it, this is commonly known nowadays. I wonder how anybody would build a new business on the idea of flooding the world with even more poison.

The material we use, PLA, is actually biodegradable! It would take a while naturally, but can be done easily with industrial equipment. We also recycle all of our scrap material back into filament :)

Here is a german study you might be interested in (needs to be translated):

Conclusion: "bio" plastics are not better in any way.

Especially PLA from genetically modified corn is not a good solution, sorry.

To reduce the amount of harm you are doing to the planet with that mass production facility should build a safe recycling chain for your customers until you find some less destructive way to make money.

To the HN techno-blinded crowd: downvoting these facts does not produce a better health for your children.

Growing up and becoming an adult also means being able to take responsibility for the future. But, yeah, Trump on, Amerrica!
