Filacycle

We take scrap 3D printing filament and plastic waste, recycle it, and turn it into new, high-quality filament.

The current cost is $15 per 1kg, however, this is credited directly to your account in the form of points equivalent to a full 1kg spool in our shop after we receive your shipment (About $21 worth of points).

You can then use your points to “buy” filament from our shop at no additional cost.

Yes! Our recycled filament is available for direct purchase on our shop.

However, you will get a discount by sending in your material to be recycled.

We currently process the following material types:

• PLA
• PETG

We do not accept:

• Resin prints
• Contaminated or painted prints
• Plastics mixed with non-3D materials (like metal or food)

We do not cover any shipping cost for your material.

We are working to provide a drop-off option to those in the Denver area! Email Sales@filacycle.org for more details

If we receive plastic that is not suitable for recycling (e.g., mixed types, resin, or contaminated materials), it will be discarded or returned at your expense. We recommend checking our materials guidelines before sending anything.

The new points system is unique in how you earn points. Each 1kg you send us will cost you $15, however once we receive your material we will credit $21 worth of points for each 1kg to your account. This will allow you to use those points for a 100% free 1kg spool of our standard PLA or PETG.

Just by sending in your material to be recycled, the more material, the more points!

Yes! When you create an account with us, your point balance will be visible in your dashboard. We’ll also send an email confirmation after each accepted submission.

Our filament has been tested by many different individuals, printers, and print farms.

We can guarantee industry standard deviation of only ±0.3mm on our 1.75mm PLA and PETG

Our recycled filament is tested for consistency, diameter tolerance, and printability. We use mesh filters in our extrusion proccess to ensure there no contaminates in the final product.

Our filament is made from 100% recycled 3D printer plastic, sourced directly from makers like you. We’re committed to providing eco-friendly material without compromising print performance.

Here’s what you can expect from our filament:

• Sustainability First: Every spool reduces waste and helps close the loop in the 3D printing community. We recycle, remanufacture, and reuse—all in-house.

• Diameter Tolerance: We have achieved ±0.03mm tolerance on our filament. Each spool is quality-checked throughout the extrusion process.

• Custom Recycled Spools: We now produce our own unique spools which are made 100% from PLA that has been recycled.
