The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Tightening the loop on the circular economy: Coupled distributed recycling and manufacturing with recyclebot and RepRap 3-D printing (2018, background): “The latter is a challenge as it is known that with each recycling pass polymer mechanical properties degrade (Sanchez et al., 2017), although the filament quality remains acceptable for most consumer goods through five cycles (Sanchez et al., 2015).”
