Is there a viable method or company to recycle failed prints or prototypes? I’ve been keeping all of my PETG stuff in a box, still a way to go before it’s full but was curious if anyone had any experience here whether it be something diy or shipping them to a company.
Add:north has a recycling program for PLA, but there’s a minimum of 5kg material + 5 filament spools. They also only accept their own PLA and there’s a large warning on the site that you can sabotage the recycling process if you mix in material from other manufacturers, since they will likely have different additives.
There’s also some more generic info which implies that you shouldn’t put PLA in the general plastics recycling (at least not in Sweden) since they can’t take care of it, and that PLA can contaminate other polymers that the recycling plant could otherwise handle.
