Cover Story: With growing amounts of waste generated, sustainable alternatives to simple waste disposal are needed. This work analyzes the combination of PET bottle recycling with the material extrusion additive manufacturing process. On the one hand, material extrusion mostly manufactures parts using virgin polymers, and offers a simpler and cost-effective option in comparison to other additive manufacturing technologies. On the other hand, PET offers significant potential for mechanical and chemical recyclability. Combined together, they open up a broad spectrum of reutilization possibilities. Turning used PET bottles into printable filaments for material extrusion is not only a recycling option but also an attractive upcycling scenario that can lead to the production of complex, functional parts.
