What is Printerior?
Printerior produces 100% recycled 3D printer filament from consumer and industrial waste. Our goal is to bring a circular economy to the 3D printing industry. Our Printerior Recycling Program collects 3D printing waste generated by consumers, universities, and businesses. Recycled filament offers users a environmentally responsible choice to 3D print with sustainable input materials; our consumers help address the world’s plastic waste issue, all at a competitive price. Printerior also has the only US based print farm that can create parts made from recycled plastic, we work with artists and industries to create one off custom pieces or large scale production runs.
