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.

B2C customers will receive a special discount of 10% on all your FormFutura orders throughout 2024, B2B-customers will receive an additional discount of 10% on their next order.

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. 

Recycle Program - Waste

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.
