Biodegradable and sustainable 3D filaments
Circular printing materials
Back to nature in less than a generation.
At ColorFabb, we believe in creating sustainable solutions for 3D printing. We aim to leave as light an imprint on the environment as possible and have a positive impact where we can. Our range of bioplastics and biopolymers, including allPHA, recycled PLA and Vibers, are designed to reduce plastic waste, CO2 and contribute to a circular economy.

It is an all natural filament for eco-friendly 3D printing
Our allPHA filament is 100% biodegradable and contains no microplastics. Produced by bacterial fermentation, it offers a unique opportunity to have a positive environmental impact while 3D printing.
PH… WHAT?!
PHA is a polymer made by microorganisms through fermentation - similar to the process that creates your daily yogurt or Friday evening beer. PHA is fully biodegradable, leaving no toxic microplastics behind.
No Such thing as waste.
PHA that accidentally does not end in waste collection schemes can be biodegraded safely by nature itself.
Print leftovers can be food for the crops in your garden.. if you want (see below how this works).
Our bio-friendly recipe
Different kinds of bacteria produce different kinds of PHA. PHA is difficult to use by itself.
So, we at ColorFabb combine multiple kinds of PHA to make it into a versatile filament. We only add bio-friendly additives to facilitate properties, effects and colors, to make sure that our filament is 100% biobased and fully biodegradable!
How does allPHA work - from product to compost?
In just a few months, your 3D prints made with allPHA can return to nature as compost. Here’s how it works..
BEFORE
We at colorFabb tirelessly test our products in different environments. A few months ago we put a few allPHA prints in our compost heap to measure decomposition.
AND
If you look closely at the print, you can even see tiny critters having made it their home!
AFTER
In only a few months time, the print has already started decomposing. It has become a home to many different organisms and has started its new journey towards being fully biodegraded back into the earth.

VIBERS
Filament with elephant grass
VIBERS is our sustainable PLA filament, enhanced with 10% elephant grass. This fast-growing grass absorbs four times the CO2 of a typical European forest.
Green vibes only
VIBERS is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional PLA. This filament is biobased, made with elephant grass grown on non-agricultural land without additional resources.
A splash of color
We wouldn’t be ColorFabb if… We’ve added a pop of color to make VIBERS stand out, with visible cellulose fibers visible on the surface of each 3D-printed part.
Our bio-friendly recipe
Leaving less footprints! Using elephant grass allows us to reduce the carbon footprint of this filament by a third compared to regular PLA. It comes on a cardboard spool made from recycled cardboard to further minimize plastic waste.
