<p>I know there is a 3d printing technique, where sheet of papers are cut and glued. Like the ones <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/staples-mcor-easy-3d-printing/25284/" rel="nofollow">Staples</a> has in their stores. But this sort of paper isnt recyclable, because of the heavy use of glue.</p>

<p>Is anywhere filament available, which is made of cellulose or other recyclable and bio-degradable material? Or do you know if research is going on in this area?</p>

<p>edit: added bio-degradable</p>
