Recycled Filament FAQs
Recycled filament is plastic that has been reclaimed from waste and reprocessed into a usable form for 3D printing. It's an eco-friendly choice for creators.
Waste plastic is collected, cleaned, shredded, melted, and extruded into filament. This process gives discarded materials a new life.
It reduces plastic waste, conserves resources, and lowers the carbon footprint of 3D printing. Plus, it offers unique aesthetic possibilities.
Printing is similar to virgin filament, but some types may require slight temperature or speed adjustments. Experimentation is key!
Many specialized online retailers and some 3D printing companies now offer a growing selection of recycled filament options.
