rPLA
rPLA is a great material for applications that require rapid prototyping and strong parts. Its ease of use and low cost make it suitable when a part may be frequently reprinted as is the case in prototyping and architecture. rPLA is easily recycled, proving to be a sustainable solution for rapid prototyping. Its strength and ease of use make it suitable for those who need to turn over a lot of strong, functional prototypes.

rPLA is created by grinding failed or older PLA prints. Much like normal PLA, rPLA is made from organic sources and is thus compostable. Since PLA is difficult to recycle at commercial recycling centers, regrinding PLA into rPLA and reusing it in pellet printers is a more sustainable alternative.
