This comprehensive review paper delves into the evolving landscape of sustainable additive manufacturing, focusing on the utilization of biodegradable filaments in 3D printing technology. As industries increasingly prioritize sustainability, the adoption of eco-friendly practices like biodegradable materials becomes imperative. The study explores the composition and properties of biodegradable filaments, highlighting their transformation from traditional plastic fibres and the environmental benefits they offer. With a particular emphasis on fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology, the review elucidates how biodegradable polymers are seamlessly integrated into the additive manufacturing process. By depositing melted material layer by layer, FDM enables the creation of objects with reduced environmental impact. Materials such as Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), Polylactic acid (PLA), and High-impact polystyrene (HIPS) are discussed as examples of biodegradable components that mimic the properties of conventional plastics while being environmentally friendly. Furthermore, the review explores the diverse array of applications enabled by the intersection of biodegradable polymers and FDM, spanning various sectors. From manufacturing to healthcare, these applications underscore the versatility and potential of 3D-printed biodegradable materials in driving sustainable innovation. Through meticulous examination of current trends and emerging technologies, the review aims to provide valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts eager to explore the promising landscape of sustainable 3D printing. By presenting a comprehensive overview and distilling key insights, it seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of the sustainable possibilities within the field of additive manufacturing.

Keywords: Sustainability, biodegradable filaments, additive manufacturing, fused deposition modelling (FDM), environmental impact
