Written by the company

3D printing is a double edged sword. Whilst fundamentally additive, the use of plastic as a feedstock could exacerbate the plastic problem without efficient resource recovery. 3DPW offers viable end-of-life solutions for 3D-printed waste that is not currently recycled or reused, thus preventing further plastic pollution of land and marine environments!

It's so easy

Start to finish I found the entire thing really easy. Box was dropped off in a secure location. I filled it with my PLA waste and sent a message for it to be collected.
I'm going to be getting another box.

The world needs more companies alike

I am thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service provided by this recycling company. Their commitment to environmental sustainability makes the overall experience even more commendable. In a world already burdened with excess waste, the positive impact of companies like this, especially in managing 3D printing waste, allows individuals to contribute in a meaningful way to reducing our ecological footprint.

Equally noteworthy is their outstanding customer service. Unlike automated systems or online forms, there's a real person just a call away – always ready to assist, unfailingly kind, and remarkably flexible in addressing inquiries while accommodating our specific needs. I wholeheartedly recommend them for their exemplary service and dedication to both customer satisfaction and environmental responsibility.
With such a positive experience, we will definitely keep recycling with them.

Excellent service highly recommended

Really impressed with this service. Box arrived in a couple of days and I filled it up straight away. Customer service was excellent and they arranged for a courier to pick up the box who came the next day.
Perfect for my needs as a small 3D printing business and great value for money. Highly recommended!

a convenient/affordable way to keep my waste out of landfills

I love this service. As a 3D printing enthusiast, I create a fair amount of PLA waste. Up until now I have had no environmentally friendly way to dispose of my waste that is both cost effective and convenient. Once you order the box, which is made from PLA waste, it arrives within a couple of days with everything you need, then you fill it till its full, put the lid on, zip the it shut and take it to the post office. - its that easy. It The box is 45 L and takes me roughly 2-3 months to fill, so its great value for money. Any questions I had about what happens to my PLA waste was answered by their team who were really friendly and patient. if you are a 3D Printer like me, you NEED this service.

Excellent new service

The box is great, its good to have a re-useable box so as not to create extra waste, it is also very solid, doesn't fall apart and is easy to pack.
Other 3D print waste recycling companies weren't willing to accept PLA with PVA filament and ABS reels together so it was great to find that 3DPW would, while also being cheaper than the company we used to use!
The customer service was excellent and our contact at 3DPW helped us find a custom solution that suited our needs perfectly, I would highly recommend them based on our experience so far.

Exciting new 3D print waste service.

Exciting new 3D print waste service.
In pre-launch trial I sent 40kg PLA to 3DPW, and just days afterwards they shared pictures of the actual products made with my scraps (and others).
Helps me maintain edumaker's near zero landfill policy - if you generate PLA waste, check them out!
