REO™ PHA Basic

A plant-based PHA blend for makers who want their prints to leave less behind. PHA is produced by microorganisms rather than refined from petroleum, and unlike ordinary PLA it keeps breaking down in ordinary soil and marine conditions, not just in an industrial composter.

Why you'll like it

• Genuinely biodegradable, including in soil and seawater, not just industrial compost
• Tougher and less brittle than standard PLA, so thin walls flex instead of snapping
• Low odor and low warp, comfortable to run on an open printer at home
• Soft, slightly satin surface with a warm, natural tone
• Vacuum sealed with desiccant, so it stays dry until the moment you open it

Specifications

• Diameter: 1.75mm
• Net weight: 1kg (spool included)
• Recommended nozzle temperature: 195–225°C
• Recommended bed temperature: 45–60°C
• Print slower than PLA for the cleanest surface finish

For the prototype that ends up in a drawer, and eventually in the ground.
