PLA breaks down under industrial composting conditions. It isn't really biodegradable. It is fair to call it plastic waste.
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.
