Step 1
Sort Your 3D Print Material
Divide your remaining materials into separate boxes. Keep PLA separate from PETG. When sending rest filaments, please remove them from the carton spool. Remember, we only recycle plastics, not paper. You don't need to sort by color; just focus on separating materials by type of plastic
Step 2
Reach the minimum weight of 2 kg of material
The more you send at once, the better it is for everyone. And don’t forget: one large box is better than several small ones — especially when it comes to the environment. Consolidating your shipments helps reduce packaging waste, lowers transportation emissions, and makes the entire delivery process more efficient.
Step 3
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 4
Send and Transform
Once you've packaged your materials, send them our way (shipping costs are at your own expense). 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.
