BIO PLA

BIO PLA BBs are biodegradable airsoft BBs made from a special polymer based on PLA (Polylactic Acid), which is derived from renewable natural resources (most commonly corn or potato starch). They are designed to degrade naturally over time in the environment under the influence of moisture, UV radiation, and microorganisms. BIO PLA BBs therefore represent a modern and eco-friendly solution for airsoft. Compared to standard BBs, they break down in nature over time without requiring compromises in accuracy or reliability. By choosing quality brands such as BLS, MadBull, G&G, or Specna Arms EDGE Ultra, you get top-tier performance while being considerate of the environment. BIO ammunition can be found on our e-shop.

Difference between BIO PLA and standard BBs

The key difference lies in the material and its behavior in the environment:

Standard (non-BIO) BBs: made from ABS or similar plastics, they practically do not decompose in nature and can remain in the field for many years.
BIO PLA BBs: designed to gradually break down, significantly reducing environmental impact.

Properties of BIO PLA BBs

Eco-friendliness: ideal for woodland and protected areas.
High accuracy: quality BIO BBs feature minimal diameter tolerances.
Compatibility: suitable for AEG, HPA, GBB, and manual sniper rifles.
Moisture sensitivity: requires proper storage in a dry environment.

Is it a myth that BIO BBs are worse?

Yes. In the past, BIO BBs had a poorer reputation due to lower quality, but modern manufacturing has brought high-end BIO PLA BBs that are fully comparable – and often even superior – to standard plastic BBs. Today, the difference is primarily made by the brand and quality control.

Quality BIO PLA BB brands

BLS: considered the benchmark of quality, extremely tight tolerances, popular among snipers and HPA setups.
MadBull: consistent quality with a good price-to-performance ratio.
G&G: a long-proven brand offering reliable BIO BBs for regular players.
Specna Arms EDGE™ Ultra: premium BIO BBs with high consistency in weight and diameter, suitable even for precision builds.

All of these brands are in stock on our e-shop.

When are BIO BBs mandatory?

At many airsoft fields and MilSim events, BIO BBs are mandatory. The use of non-biodegradable BBs can lead to exclusion from the game, especially in woodland and protected areas.
