Cold compostable 3D printing filament that naturally returns to the environment.
Composts naturally without the need for industrial composting facilities.
Made from renewable raw materials, including palm leaf residual streams.
Designed to naturally break down under composting conditions and safely return to nature.
A material developed for circular thinking while supporting ESG and compliance goals.
Welcome to Hembased
Our mission is to make cold compostable 3D printing filament accessible for everyday applications.
We enable makers and businesses to design with a credible end-of-life in mind, contributing to a more circular 3D printing ecosystem where innovation no longer results in long-term waste.
Hembased is setting a new benchmark in sustainable 3D printing. Our filament is cold compostable, bio-based and biodegradable, allowing your prints to naturally return to the environment instead of becoming long-term waste.
