Development of Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Polymer Formulation Suitable for 3D Printer Filament

recy3d Inc.是一家位于安大略省滑铁卢的加拿大公司，成立于2015年，致力于为世界环境和废物问题提供持久的解决方案。他们专注于将聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET）塑料瓶转化为可用的3D打印机长丝，以生产有利于环境的工具。** **塑料在工业和消费领域的应用越来越广泛，加上消费者对固体废物回收的认识日益提高，导致对更实际的材料、树脂和产品回收方法的需求增加。通过拟议的项目，RECYCL3D正在与兰姆顿学院工业材料开发中心和蓝水技术研究中心合作，开发一种再利用回收PET水瓶的方法，以开发一种具有适合3D打印材料特性的聚合物。所得产品可用于高等教育、医疗保健、消费品、工业产品等行业。**** recycle 3d公司的共享价值方法对我们的社区和加拿大产生了持久、真实的影响，包括经济和环境效益。社区回收网络从废物流中回收塑料将有助于减少我们社区的塑料废物，并在几个行业找到新的用途，利用循环经济的好处。**********

RECYCL3D Inc., a Canadian company based in Waterloo, Ontario, was founded in 2015 to create lasting solutions for our world's environmental and waste problems. They specialize in transforming Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles into usable 3D printer filaments to produce tools for environmental good. ** ** The growing utilization of plastics in industrial and consumer applications, in combination with increasing consumer awareness surrounding solid waste recycling, has led to an increased demand for more practical ways to recycle materials, resins and products. Through the proposed project RECYCL3D is collaborating with Lambton College's Centre for Industrial Material Development and the Bluewater Technology Research Centre to develop a method to reuse recycled PET water bottles to develop a polymer with material properties suitable for 3D printing. The resulting product can be used in industries such as higher education, healthcare, consumer goods, industrial goods, and several others.**** The shared-value approach of RECYCL3D Inc. produces a long-lasting, authentic impact on our community and Canada including both economic and environmental benefits. Community recycling networks recovering plastics from the waste stream will aid in reducing plastic waste in our communities and find new uses in several industries, leveraging benefits to the circular economy.**********
