Cover Story: In this study, the utilization of natural byproducts as fillers in polymer matrices and the efficient exploitation via Additive Manufacturing is examined. Natural and biomass byproducts such as sawdust, wood chips, barks or biochar can be reused after extrusion processes and utilized for the development of sustainable 3D-printed feedstocks. Initially, an overview of the manufacturability of the proposed composite feedstocks, along with their thermal and mechanical performance, was portrayed. Afterwards, an assessment of the dynamic properties and the environmental impact of these materials via appropriate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies is presented, highlighting the potential reduction of the global environmental footprint and aiding in the development of efficient circular economy strategies. View this paper
