Home Compostable CitrusCycle™ Orange Peel Waste PHA 3D Printing Filament

(18 reviews)

Transform your packaging prototyping and dieline test fits with our Loopha PHA Sustainable 3D Printing Filament. Engineered from Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and upcycled organic waste, this high-performance material represents the next generation of bioplastics. It is available in 10 raw-material composites including Orange Peel, Coffee Grounds, Tea/Matcha, Grape skins, Peach, Bamboo, Oyster Shell, Charcoal, Rice, and Seaweed. Unlike standard PLA, which requires strict industrial composting and mandatory 4-hour pre-drying, Loopha PHA is natively home-compostable and marine-degradable. Crucially, it features a softening temperature above 60°C (PLA is 50-55°C), high toughness, low cooling shrinkage (allowing prints without a heated bed), and emits a subtle, pleasant organic scent during printing instead of chemical fumes.

Custom Printing Available

Custom spool sizes, filament diameters, and colorways are available for bulk orders of 100+ spools. Please consult our engineering team.

10 Organic Composites: Choose from Orange, Coffee, Green Tea, Grape, Peach, Bamboo, Oyster Shell, Charcoal, Rice, or Seaweed, each showcasing unique natural textures and colors.
6 Core Advantages: High thermal stability (>60°C), premium toughness, natural soil/marine degradation, safe & non-toxic (zero microplastics), low carbon footprint, and non-toxic organic aroma.
No Pre-Drying Bottleneck: Stable polymer structure allows printing straight out of the box without the 4-hour pre-drying required for PLA and PETG.
Zero Heated Bed Required: Low cooling shrinkage prevents warping, ensuring exceptional printability on standard FDM setups.
B2B Wholesale Tiers: Spooled in 1 kg rollstock format, optimized for eco-packaging prototyping and bio-plastics research.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Loopha PHA 3D printing filament made of?
Our Loopha PHA filament is engineered from 100% bio-based Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) composite blended with upcycled natural organic waste residues (such as orange peels, coffee grounds, green tea, grape skins, peach peels, bamboo, oyster shells, charcoal, rice husks, and seaweed). It is fully home-compostable and marine-degradable, leaving no toxic microplastics.
How does Loopha PHA compare to PLA and PETG?
Loopha PHA offers a softening temperature above 60°C (PLA is 50-55°C) and superior toughness. In terms of printability, PHA is stable and requires no pre-drying or heated print bed due to its low cooling shrinkage. In contrast, PLA and PETG are highly hygroscopic (requiring 4+ hours of drying) and prone to warping or stringing.
Is this filament safe for food-grade packaging prototypes?
Yes, our Loopha PHA filament is completely safe, non-toxic, and bodies-friendly. Since it is made of 100% bio-based carbon content and natural fibers, it is perfect for cleanroom packaging dieline test fits and leaves zero toxic chemical residues upon degradation.
Does the filament emit any fumes or odors during printing?
Instead of releasing the harsh chemical fumes typical of petroleum-based plastics, Loopha PHA emits a subtle, pleasant organic scent corresponding to its raw material source (e.g., fresh oranges, roasted coffee, or green tea) during extrusion.
What are the recommended printing settings?
We recommend printing Loopha PHA at 190°C–220°C. A heated print bed is completely optional (set to 40°C–50°C if used). No enclosure or pre-drying is necessary under standard ambient conditions.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our MOQ varies by product type: Conventional Digital starts at 100 pieces, Eco Digital at 1,000 pieces, and Eco Stock at 500 pieces. Sample packs are available for testing before bulk orders.
What is the lead time for custom printed pouches?
Lead times vary by product: Conventional Digital is 15-20 business days, Eco Digital is 20-30 business days, and Eco Stock (plain) ships in 5-7 business days. All times include free air freight shipping.
Is shipping included in the price?
For most products, yes — all standard pouch and packaging prices include free air freight shipping worldwide. However, some specialty items (such as 3D printing filament) are priced ex-works and do not include shipping. This will be clearly stated on the product page.
