3D printing waste: an environmental challenge

3D printing, while offering significant advantages in terms of rapid prototyping and customized production, generates a significant amount of plastic waste. This waste, often consisting of failed prototypes or printing supports, contributes to environmental pollution.

Recycling as a solution?

A possible solution to this problem is the recycling of plastic materials used in 3D printing. Implementing efficient recycling systems, both industrially and domestically, could drastically reduce the environmental impact of this technology. Recycling would allow the reuse of discarded materials, reducing dependence on new resources and minimizing the amount of waste destined for landfills.
