Due to their benefits of lightweight, low cost and high strength, they are often used by many industries. They also have high insulation, easy processing, and beautiful looks. The global production of plastic products was 18.1842 million tonnes in 2019. Because plastic products have a natural tendency to break down and age over time, they are also more hazardous to the environment. Recycling and treatment of plastic waste is now a major problem.
Three-dimensional printing, a high-tech emerging technology, has been thriving in recent years. However it requires lots of consumables every single year. Metals and polymers are the most common 3D printing consumables. Metal consumables do not require much more effort than polymers. This is mainly because they are mostly metal powder. Additionally, polymer consumables may be broken down into thermoplastics (thermosetting) and polymer consumables. Both can be used to produce a variety of commodities, including shopping bags and auto parts. The recycling of waste plastics into polymer consumables that can be 3D printed is an innovative way to recycle them. This also has high economic potential. Project team investigated the possibility of using waste plastics for 3D printing consumables. The printer was designed to convert waste plastics into components that can be recycled. The project achieves a printing precision of 0.2mm. Additionally, the filament is formed uniformly and is dense. This is similar to what is printed with the market consumables.
Wuhan University of Technology School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and Life Sciences, School of Automation and School of Navigation explored together a process which uses recycled plastics as raw materials. This eliminates intermediate steps of extrusion and makes it possible to use the inks directly for 3D printing. These data, along with data on product melting rates, tensile strength, impact strengths, and other information, are consistent with 3D-printed jewellery requirements. Stage results have been achieved.
There is no need for additional chemical raw material in preparation, which reduces costs of 3D printing products. The production of toxic or harmful chemicals is avoided, which reduces the risk of secondary pollution. It will soon be an important product in environmental protection if this product is put on the market.
