Recycling

Design software makers foresee integrated lifecycle assessment tools.

New materials, optimized processes enhance AM’s already robust sustainability advantages.

The FIL’REC project combines performance and eco-design, companies say.

Bluesint PA 12 provides sustainable 3D printing option.

Experts share their sustainability approaches for manufacturing the way to a more planet-friendly future.

Amcor’s partnership with the Healthcare Plastics Recycling Council (HPRC) designed to help foster more sustainable practices and innovation across the healthcare industry, organizations note.

Creativity is everywhere in the field of materials for 3D printing. Combining recycling processes with filament production techniques, one company offers some unique blends.

The Million Waves Project launched a new initiative that hopes to both reduce ocean plastics while also tackling another problem – the lack of affordable prosthetic limbs available in the developing world.

Staff at WoeLab, a community technology hub and network of local inventors and entrepreneurs, built a 3D printer using parts from old printers, computers and scanners.

They are creating a system that grinds up and melts printer plastic to make new spools of filament that can then be re-used in campus' 100+ 3D printers.
