Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a specific type of plastic polymer made from the fusion of styrene and acrylonitrile with polybutadiene. 

Usually, it has a glossy finish. It is rigid, durable, and has high chemical resistance. ABS is flammable when it is exposed to high temperatures, such as those of a wood fire. 

While ABS is not biodegradable, you can recycle it. Used for 3D printing. PLA can be used a sustainable alternative, especially for the purpose of 3D printing.
