However, if you look into this, watch out for the massive amount of greenwashing in this industry. They're doing stuff like selling the same old resin and calling it "eco friendly" or w/e just because they've like thrown some seaweed filler in it. Lying about the dangers, all sorts of stuff.

This is a big issue, especially considering that most filament/resin manufacturers are tiny companies with virtually no oversight. They do whatever they want and there's practically no mechanism to stop them from doing so.
