Brush and broom filling material made from Polylactic Acid (PLA)

The biodegradable and compostable PLA brush filament has relatively low tensile strength, but its good flexibility allows it to replace petroleum-based filaments in most applications.

As lactic acid is widely found in nature, it provides a sustainable alternative, helping to reduce environmental impact.
