PET

The PET (polyethylene terephthalate), is a filament for industrial use with several outstanding features. It combines the ease of use of the PLA filament with the strength and durability of the ABS filament. Firstly, its hardness is much higher than PLA and is approved by the FDA for food containers and tools used for food consumption. Unlike the ABS filament, it does not produce odors or fumes when printed. PET filament is not biodegradable, but it is 100% recoverable.
