3D Printing Technology Using Recycled Plastic Waste

POINT

• Reduces energy use and cost required for pelletization

  

  Plastic waste generated at construction sites is typically disposed of through thermal recovery or landfill. However, since thermal recovery results in substantial greenhouse gas emissions, material recycling is increasingly required.
  This plastic waste is reused as raw material for 3D printing in flake form, without pelletization. This reduces the energy and cost associated with processing, while achieving print quality equivalent to pellet-based materials.
