KAWANISHI-CITY, Japan, Feb. 25, 2025 — (PRNewswire) — Environmental problems such as climate change, global warming, deforestation, extinction of species, water shortage etc. due to explosion of human population are becoming increasingly severe worldwide. Plastic pollution is also a severe environmental problem which cause adverse effects, especially nanoplastics are already present in the human body as a result of plastic polluted breathing air and though our meal. For example, we are ingesting nanoplastics through drinking water with PET bottle. Recently, there are some medical studies reporting the enhanced risk of heart attack, stroke caused by nanoplastics in blood vessels. In addition, they may also possess ill effect for immune system as well as cause inflammation reaction in digestive system.

The production and usage of biodegradable plastic is slowly increasing, although greater than 90 % of plastics worldwide are still petroleum-based non-biodegradable plastics. In addition, the production of this petroleum-based non-biodegradable plastics are still increasing regardless of these plastic pollution problems. Therefore, plastic pollution is worsening each year.

On the other hand, biodegradable plastics can biodegrade and return back to nature and do not become plastic pollution although biodegradability needs to be carefully examined in various types of conditions including compost condition, soil, water, sea water etc. However, biodegradable plastics including PLA (polylactic acid), lactone-based materials are already applied for medical usage in human body. 

Under this circumstances, Green Science Alliance made furniture with 3D printer with plant based biomass biodegradable resin which they develop in their company. The furniture they made with 3D printer is table, bench, shelf, lamp shade, lightning cover, flower pot and floor. Theoretically, they can make any kind of furniture and objects with their plant based biomass resin with 3D printer. They have used PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) based resin this time. 

The company also set up the small exhibition space at Tokyo, Japan (1-25-5 Miyasaka Setagaya-ku, Tokyo prefecture) to display all of these plant biomass-based 3D printed furniture and products.

As next step, they are planning to decorate the furniture with their plant based vegan paint to sophisticate the design and look. They are also planning to make more furniture with cellulose based resin and organic wastes composite materials such as wood waste, seaweed waste, paper waste etc. In general, manufacturing process will be much shorter with 3D printing process and products price are expected to be cheaper than general furniture. 

They keep challenging to make green sustainable furniture and products with their green materials with 3D printer manufacturing process.
