Your Plastic's Journey

Raw Materials

Transforming Waste into Innovation

Our plastic is gathered and reprocessed in Italy. Starting as unwanted industrial waste, various PLA items were carefully collected and Recycled, Reshaping them into the eco-friendly product you can use to Reprint your ideas into reality

Colourant

Colourful Beginnings

Our environmentally friendly colours are sourced from the United Kingdom. The coloured pigments are sustainably created, using 100% Green Energy. These additives are then mixed in with our recycled PLA Pellets to create the vivid colour found in your filament

Manufacturing

Crafted Locally with Care

Our last step is transforming the high-quality recycled materials into our sustainable filament line-up, which is proudly manufactured in Malta. Using advanced technology, we extrude them into 3D printing filaments while maintaining strict quality control standards

Our Step-By-Step Manufacturing Process

  • STEP 1 - DEHYDRATION

    The recycled raw material is dehydrated to remove moisture, ensuring optimal filament quality

  • STEP 2 - COLOUR PREPARATION

    Precise colorants are measured and mixed to achieve the exact shade and consistency

  • STEP 3 - EXTRUSION

    The material is melted and extruded into a continuous, smooth filament ready for further processing

  • STEP 4 - COOLING & DRYING

    The newly extruded filament is carefully cooled in a water bath, which stabilises its shape. It is then dried to remove any residual water particles

  • STEP 5 - LASER MEASURING

    As the filament exits cooling, lasers continuously monitor its diameter. This ensures every spool meets exacting standards for accuracy and consistency.

  • STEP 6 - WINDING & PACKAGING

    The finished filament is tightly wound onto spools, carefully inspected, vacuum packaged for delivery

WHY RECYCLED MATERIALS?

Although other companies use standard virgin plastic, we decided to be different. With the growing plastic pollution problem, we aim to reduce past, present and future waste by combining recycling and the growing 3D printing industry

  • Environmental Benefits

    You can help reduce the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans while also promoting a more sustainabe future for eveyone

  • rPlastic Quality

    rPLA filaments have the same strength and flexibility as non-recycled filaments, while also being more sustainable

  • Durability

    Just as durable, 100% more sustainable. They have high impact resistance making them ideal for use in functional parts and prototypes

  • Recycled Strength

    The strength properties are close to identical when compared to traditional counterparts, but with the added benefit of being more sustainable

  • Temperature Resistance

    Recycled filaments have similar temperature resistance when compared to their non-recycled counterparts

  • Printing Odour

    rFilaments produce less odour, making them a better choice for use in enclosed spaces. This can making 3D printing more healthy experience
