Transforming Waste into Value
With FormFutura’s Recycling Program
FormFutura Recycle Program
Are you concerned about the environment?
Manufacturing can be wasteful, but new 3D printing technology offers a potential solution. As 3D printing becomes more popular, so does the waste it creates.
Our blog post: Is recycling the best solution for 3D printing scraps? Discussed the fact that 3D printing can create a lot of waste, with about a third of all prints ending up as scraps!
We want to help! Through our recycling program, you can send us your leftover materials and failed prints made of PLA or PETG filament (we'll take other materials in the future too). We'll then turn them into brand new, high-quality filament, giving your waste a second life!
Participating is easy
Joining the FormFutura Recycling Program is a breeze, making it easy to contribute to a more sustainable future for 3D printing. Simply gather your used filaments, failed prints, leftovers, and make sure they are sorted into separate boxes for PLA or PETG.
FormFutura will handle the recycling process, transforming your waste into high-quality filament for future use. As a token of appreciation for your commitment to sustainability, you'll receive a special 10% discount on all your FormFutura orders throughout 2024.

Participate in our Recycling Program
Gather your leftover 3D printed PLA and PET(G) materials, and submit them to us. We'll process these materials into new, high-quality filaments, giving them a second life.
Step 1 - Sort Your Rest Materials
Divide your remaining materials into separate boxes. Keep PLA separate from PETG. When sending rest filaments, please remove them from the cardboard spool. Remember, we only recycle plastics, not paper.
Any filament brand is welcome, just focus on separating materials by type of plastics!
Step 2 - Label Your Boxes
Clearly write the sender and receiver information on the box, specifying the type of materials it contains. For the receiver information, use the following details:
FormFutura
Tarweweg 3
6534 AM Nijmegen
The Netherlands
Attn: FormFutura Recycling Project
Step 3 - Send and Transform
Once you've packaged your materials, send them our way. We'll shred the rest materials, turning them into pellets and then into new filaments. You can dispose of your excess materials and make a positive contribution to a better world.
