The plastic waste has always been my main concern with 3d printing, with supports, failed prints, rafts, and other such realities of the hobby it builds up quick.
I have looked into local recycling services, but they aren’t equipped to deal with these plastics. I have also looked into industrial grade composting for my PLA but again, nothing in the area seems ready or willing to deal with it.
After looking into shipping boxes of sorted filament to be recycled into more usable rolls I could only find services based in Europe unfortunately.
Would love any help
I’ve seen really cool videos about melting the PLA into a silicone mold. That’s my plan. It would be cooler if you print a mold in higher temp filament.
