Plastic recycling in additive manufacturing: A systematic literature review and opportunities for the circular economy (2020, background): “In resource consumption, several studies have measured the energy consumed by AM equipment and auxiliary subsystems (Baumers et al., 2011; Mognol et al., 2006), material consumption (Bourhis et al., 2013) and comparison between traditional and additive processes (Morrow et al., 2007; Yoon et al.,…”
Life Cycle Analysis of Distributed Recycling of Post-consumer High Density Polyethylene for 3-D Printing Filament (2014, unknown): “…turns post-consumer plastic into a growth medium for plants (Torcellini, 2010), has been modified here to create a new, semi-automated open source “Recyclebot” to prepare RepRap feedstock from postconsumer household plastic, such as, bottles and laundry detergent containers (Baechler et al., 2013).”
Mechanical properties of components fabricated with open-source 3-D printers under realistic environmental conditions (2014, background): “D printer filaments available on the market, the burgeoning field of recycled waste plastic filament [30] [31], as well as new materials commonly used in conventional manufacturing processes are becoming viable for 3-”
Mechanical Properties of Specimens 3D Printed with Virgin and Recycled Polylactic Acid (2017, unknown): “25 These encouraging results on the performance of parts made with recycled PLA ﬁlament should be recreated with other plastics, such as ABS, to prove their viability and spread the beneﬁts of ﬁlament recycling across the 3D printing industry.”
Unlocking value for a circular economy through 3D printing: A research agenda (2017, methodology): “EKOCYCLE Cube uses 25% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) in its cartridges(1) and Recyclebot (waste plastic extruder) produces filament from 100% household polymer waste (Baechler et al., 2013).”
