Recycled Filaments and Bio-Based Materials: The Future of Green Manufacturing
You have a water bottle in your hand. You drank its contents, threw the bottle in the recycling bin. A few weeks later, the same plastic is being used as filament in your 3D printer. Or crops harvested from a corn field are processed in a laboratory and become PLA filament. Even plastic waste floating in the ocean is collected and transformed into new 3D printing material.
