Where to Recycle Filament? (lemm.ee)

submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/3dprinting

I have a huge bag of filament waste. Where should I send this? I know it is only commercially recyclable in like very specific cases so stuff like PLA will almost never be recycled. However, I do hear of companies accepting filament and they sell back the rolls and stuff. I'm not looking to make a profit or anything, just gotta get this off of me and I want the most sustainable way to do so.

I haven't looked into it too much or done it myself, but I heard of https://creativeheartwarrior.com/pages/filament-recycling

Looks like they currently only take filament as a donation and not as an exchange.

Edit: also found https://printeriordesigns.com/pages/recycling
