Spain-based 3D printing materials producer Recreus has launched a new flexible TPU filament that is 100% recycled

Reciflex is composed entirely of scrap from the shoe industry and Recreus' own in-house production processes

The material is easy to print and compatible with any TPU-based FFF 3D printer on the market

So how does it do it? Once the raw material is recovered, Recreus magnetically sifts the polymer to pick out and remove any metal residues that may be left behind

It's worth noting that Reciflex is currently only available in glossy pure black, as the company incorporates black pigments into the final product to even out the otherwise colorful color

Because their source materials differ slightly, different batches of Reciflex may have a hardness of 96A to 98A SHORE 'A', but the company says this difference won't be noticeable in the final 3D printed part

Promoting circular economy

Additive manufacturing is largely seen as a more environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional manufacturing techniques, but this claim is less clear-cut when the entire product life cycle is considered

Back in November, German polymer manufacturer Covestro announced a new line of sustainable 3D printing materials

Elsewhere, such as Amsterdam, 3D printing filament supplier Reflow has previously launched its own eco-friendly line of "Seaglass" translucent materials
.
The company's sustainable line of six rPETG filaments is made from locally recycled plastic and features impact and temperature resistance
