PLA breaks down under industrial composting conditions. It isn’t really biodegradable. It is fair to call it plastic waste.

I really don’t condone producing single-use 3D prints unless it results in a net reduction of plastic waste for the same end. It would make more sense to 3D print a form to turn a thin strip of steel into a proper food safe and reusable cookie cutter. No waste and you can make as many cookie cutters as you want.
3D prints are not food safe.
I was just poking fun, I agree with you that they are dangerous lol
people really just say shit with confidence like it’s a fact and don’t even google it first
Disposing of it properly means landfill, pretty much. Not that big of a deal, but the microplastics it adds to our environment on its way there, and during the manufacturing process, will last ages.
While I was looking into this I learned about another material, PHA, which is much better suited to eco-friendly printing.
