The world’s resources are increasingly limited. The energy and environmental costs of manufacturing, shipping, and discarding plastic products puts tremendous strain on the earth’s biosphere. Personal 3D printing, in conjunction with in-house recycling of the plastics used, are poised to change the consumption patterns of the general public. This research project will design and implement plastic recycling processes in response to consumer 3D printing, and promote awareness of cradle to cradle ideas in the home.
