At Lucira, we believe stylish home décor should also be gentle on the planet. That’s why we choose PLA (polylactic acid) — a plant-based bioplastic — and 3D printing for our creations.
PLA comes from renewable sources (like corn starch), not fossil fuels. It’s non-toxic, stable, and even used in medical and food-safe applications. Meanwhile, 3D printing (additive manufacturing) builds objects layer by layer, meaning we only use the material we need — no excess offcuts or bulk waste.
This approach gives us design flexibility, precision, and sustainability all in one.

Instead of mass-producing stock and risking unsold excess, we print items only after you place an order.
This approach lets us:
• Minimise inventory waste — avoiding surplus items destined for landfill
• Reduce warehousing and shipping emissions — we don’t hold large stockpiles
• Offer flexibility and custom tweaks — small changes in scale, colour or design are viable
Because we use only the material required for each piece, there’s no large-scale trimming or wasted plastic. Every gram is intentional.

Using PLA and 3D printing offers real environmental advantages:
• Lower carbon footprint — PLA generally emits less CO₂ than petroleum-based plastics, especially when sourced responsibly
• No harmful additives — PLA is free from toxic plasticisers, heavy metals, or volatile compounds
• Composting or recycling potential — under industrial composting conditions, PLA can biodegrade; in some places, it can also be mechanically recycled into new filament

We’re transparent: PLA doesn’t break down easily in a home compost. To bridge that gap, Lucira is committed to sourcing certified, high-purity PLA, minimising packaging (recycled, compostable or reusable) and exploring local take-back or filament-recycling opportunities or reusing waste ourselves.

Together, we aim to close the loop — combining beauty, utility and responsibility.
