Spectrum® 3D Recycled PLA Filament 1.75mm 1kg Spool

Spectrum recycles PLA filament

You want to print environmentally conscious 3D models but do not want to give up the quality of previously used materials? Then Spectrum's recycled PLA filament is the right choice for you. The filament is manufactured by reusing a stream of recycled residual waste from extrusion. In addition, the material is on an ecological cardboard spool to make your printing even more sustainable. Despite the high environmental friendliness, you do not have to sacrifice quality. Because the properties that you are accustomed to from PLA material, you retain.

The material for ecological 3D printing

The production of Spectrum recycled PLA filaments is based entirely on recycled raw material polylactic acid. The raw material is collected, shredded, remixed and homogenized to obtain a high quality and easy to print recycled filament PLA that has a much lower impact on the environment. The ease of processing, flow strength, tensile strength and high printing efficiency are not affected in the process.

Use recycled PLA to protect the environment

Since the filaments are based on the same material you know, you can use it for exactly the same projects. A nice side effect of this is just to save the environment. With the ecological cardboard core and recycled material, you can make wonderful decorative items, models for demonstration purposes or to visualize semi-finished products.
