However, failed prints, and simply the printing process itself, can generate substantial waste. Through a grant from a regional library consortium, the feasibility of recycling waste 3D plastic and reconstituting it into new 3D printing filament was explored and tested. Other 3D printing makerspaces...
Life cycle analysis performed on recycling of high density polyethylene (HDPE).HDPE filament is used additive manufacturing with open-source 3-D printers.Compared energy & greenhouse gas emissions for distributed vs centralized recycling.Distributed recycling has lower environmental impact than centralized ...
Colwick and Froelich are setting up a system for students to deposit their waste prints to be ground up by the Protocycler and turned into fresh filament. "By creating our own spools from used filament gathered from different departments, we can ...

A new promising method of such distributed plastic recycling is to upcycle plastic waste into 3-D printing filament with a recyclebot, which is an open source waste plastic extruder (Baechler et al., 2013). Waste plastic shards, powder or pellets are fed into the recyclebot through a hopper...
Mechanical recycling Polypropylene WEEE plastics 3D printing Fused Filament Fabrication 1. Introduction In recent years, the continuous introduction into the market of new electric and electronic equipment (EEE, most of them having a short lifetime) has led to the generation of a huge amount of was...
