Recycling Plastic Waste into 3D Printing Filament

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

The necessity for a device that faci Iitates the conversion of plastic bottles into 3D fi lament is motivated by many significant factors. From the environmental side, the worldwide level of plastic pol lution has reached concerning proportions, presenting significant environmental hazards. This project aims to recycle plastic bottles into 3D printing fi lament. Literature have shown that the characteristics of the plastic bottles that are made polyethylene terephthalate (PET) do not change after recycling, and it remains strong after recycling. Hence, making it a suitable material for 3D printers.
