   PLA, the go-to plastic for 3D printing, is made out of cornstarch.   
   I am not sire how degradable it is, but it doesn't like sunlight   
      
   The problem with biodegradable plastic is that it biodegrades during the   
   service life of the unit that is built with it.   
      
   Much netter to burn it in a high temperature incinerator equipped with   
   scrubbers.   
      
   I wonder how much pollution comes from burning the average human corpse.
