PlasticDrawn

An in-house project of the TechFactory Puglia ecosystem.

Challenge

Plastic bottles and packaging remain a waste, while 3D printing continues to buy virgin filament.

Solution

PlasticDrawn takes that waste and turns it into a filament that can be used on 3D printers. The waste becomes production material.

Technology

Plastic recycling and filament extrusion, inside the Mantre research line.

Where it stands

PlasticDrawn has processed 250 kg of plastic. The cycle is waste, filament, printed part.
