New Local to NZ 100% Recycled rPETG now in stock from Kiwifil.
Grey rPETG 3D printing filament, 1 kg, 1.75 mm (±0.05 mm tolerance), made from 100% recycled plastic.
The raw material is local industrial scrap from the manufacturing of restaurant menu holders, store display cases, and similar products.
PETG prints almost as easy as PLA, but has a higher temperature resistance. PETG can take close to boiling water temperature without deforming. This means that you can use it for parts in your car, for example.
Made in New Zealand, including the all-cardboard spool, the box, the bag, the label, and the instruction card.
Recommended settings: Nozzle: 240-250°C. Bed: 70-85°C.

>> Recycled plastic FAQ <<<
Why is the recycled plastic filament more expensive than the regular filament?
Recycling of plastic is very labour intensive.
The material has be sourced, picked up, sorted, cleaned, shredded, and re-melted. The extrusion process of shredded flakes is also more difficult than the extrusion process using perfectly sized virgin pellets. Products made from virgin material tend not to include these "end of life costs." However, closing the loop and minimizing our use of resources is important for a future on this planet, so we hope you are OK with paying a bit more for this recycled filament.
