COMPOST3D®2 – Home Compostable PLA Alternative Filament

The next generation of sustainable 3D printing.

COMPOST3D®2 is a home-compostable filament co-developed by B4Plastics and brought to market by FormFutura. Made from roughly 70% biobased content sourced mainly from hemicellulosic waste streams, it was designed for makers, designers, educators and brands who want a genuinely sustainable alternative to standard PLA — without giving up easy, reliable printing.

Unlike many "biodegradable" filaments that only break down in industrial composting plants, COMPOST3D®2 is engineered to degrade in a normal home compost bin, breaking down by at least 60% within 150 days and leaving no microplastic residue behind.

Key Features

• Home compostable — no industrial facility required
• Biodegrades ≥60% in 150 days, with no microplastic residue
• ~70% biobased content from renewable hemicellulosic waste
• Plug-and-play printability, just like standard PLA
• Smooth, silky surface finish with minimal visible layer lines
• Strong overhang and bridging performance for detailed geometries

Typical Uses

• Sustainable prototyping and product development
• Decorative objects, design pieces and architectural models
• Educational and circular-economy projects
• Exhibition, event and promotional items
• Eco-friendly consumer product concepts
• Personalized biodegradable urns and memorial keepsakes

Recommended Print Settings

Settings are a starting point — fine-tune to your specific printer and setup. For best first-layer adhesion, FormFutura recommends using EasyFix Nr. I, especially on larger prints.

Storage

Store at room temperature (≈18–25 °C) in a dry, dark place with humidity below 15%. Properly stored, the filament has a shelf life of 24 months. Drying before printing is recommended for best results.

Compatible with most standard FDM/FFF printers (Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, Ultimaker, Elegoo, Raise3D, SnapMaker and others).
