Ekocycle Printer Recycles Plastic Bottles
Jun-24-14
Re-think and re-use your plastic bottles with the Ekocycle Cube 3D printer, a small 3D printer that allows users to print using post-consumer plastic to create a range of designs.

Developed by 3D Systems, the Ekocycle printer was created with support from Coca-Cola and will.i.am. The device features touchscreen controls and a pleasing aesthetic, and prints using the EKOCYCLE Filament Cartridge, which contains filaments made up of 25 percent of post-consumer recycled materials. Each cartridge contains about three PET bottles' worth of plastics, and the printer comes with designs for simple devices such as rings or phone cases.
