This is why you dispose of it properly rather than leaving it in a hedge somewhere.

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.
