Reduce your Environmental Impact with Recycled Materials
Our aim is to provide a sustainable source of raw materials to 3D printing users. Where possible, recycled materials will be used to produce our 3D printer filament, in accordance with ISO 14021:2016.
A careful selection criteria is in place in order to guarantee single-source waste streams. We are mainly working with post-industrial waste (PIR) – material diverted from the waste stream during a manufacturing process.
The environmental benefits of this are:
- Reducing the amount of plastic being sent to landfill
- Avoiding consumption of the Earth’s finite oil stocks
- Lowering CO2 and energy demand compared to producing virgin polymers
Reduce your Waste with 100% Recyclable Cardboard Filament Spools
We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our products by increasing recyclability.
At Filamentive, the entire product lifecycle is considered – enabling reuse / recycling of filament spools in-line with Circular Economy. Furthermore, all cardboard product boxes are made from 100% recycled cardboard, and can then be recycled also via council / industrial recycling bins (in the UK; check locally).

Love the pink PLA but currently only available in 1KG, 1.75mm. Will this be available at .75KG, 2.85mm and if so, when?
Hi Ann, thanks for your comment. No immediate plans to release these colours in 2.85mm but we will certainly take the feedback onboard. FYI, we can produce bespoke orders – if interested, the MOQ is 40 kg and lead time is 6-8 weeks.
