The raw material
It all starts with collecting as many bottles as possible.
Strips of PET plastic
Making things less gross
The bottles are cleaned, have their labels removed and are cut into long strips
Strips of plastic converted into filament
Producing filament
The strips are loaded into a pulltruding machine to turn them into filament for a 3D printer.
A lampshade being printed
Let the robots do their thing
The lampshade is then printed using the same plastic from the bottles!
