On January 12, 2022, Carbon Source, a subsidiary of Washington-based resource regeneration company CarbonMetaTechnologies, announced a3D printing servicePlastic upcycling partnership program for providers and makerspaces.
The program will provide discounts on the purchase of 3D printing filament for partners who recycle plastic waste through Carbon Source, which has been trying to reduce the amount of plastic waste in landfills.
The company also unveiled a grant program for upcycling classrooms, which aims to encourage students in local communities to come up with new ways to upcycle plastic waste.
Lloyd Spencer, Chairman and CEO of CarbonMeta Technologies and President of Carbon Source, said, “This Plastic Upcycling Partner Program provides incentives to encourage makerspaces and3D printerThe service upcycles its waste plastic to better manage thermoplastics. This initiative will improve the traceability of plastic production by Carbon Source and its partners, a first step towards certifying and tracking waste plastic in a manner similar to tracking carbon credits.”
Recycled 3D printing filament
Through its Plastic Upcycling Partner Program, Carbon Source will offer discounts of up to 15% to those customers who purchase 3D printing filament in its stores. Program partners located in Western Washington state will also be eligible for free one-day shipping.
The first partners in the program will be Seattle-based makerspace Seattle Makers and Washington-based SnoCo makerspace.

Reuse of waste in the field of 3D printing
The disposal and reuse of waste is receiving increasing attention across the manufacturing industry, and 3D printing is no exception. Plastic waste, in particular, has become a big focus for many companies within the industry that are looking to achieve greater circularity in their production processes.For example, industrial3D printerManufacturer Roboze recently launched a circular economy program for waste materials, allowing customers to send back waste materials and parts for processing into recyclables at the end of a product’s life cycle.3D printing materials. Roboze’s project aims to reduce its environmental impact while also providing customers with recycled materials at a lower price.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong has also made progress in the field of waste plastic research, and they have developed a composite material composed of plant leaves and plastic waste.3D printing materials, almost completely dissolved on demand. Also last year, researchers at Loughborough University successfully turned plastic waste into low-cost 3D-printed agricultural tools for use by farmers in Africa, and engineers at McGill and Ryerson University turned wind turbine waste into a sturdy New PLA 3D printing material.
