Quick reminder as you see the news float by today: most 3d printers tend to use specific non-industrial plastics made from agricultural byproducts. These have entirely different characteristics than the industrial plastics you see.

Some 3d printing is done with other plastics, and you should try to avoid buying products made with PET or PETG, ASA, and ABS. These materials are not substantially better than PLA for non-industrial use (e.g., their glass transition is higher but not much).
