Abstract
The Global Surge In Plastic Production And Consumption Has Led To An Alarming Increase In Plastic Waste, Threatening Ecosystems, Public Health, And Environmental Sustainability. A Substantial Portion Of This Waste Arises From Single-use Plastic Water Bottles, Which Often Find Their Way Into Landfills And Oceans. This Study Proposes An Innovative, Eco-conscious Solution By Designing And Developing A 3D Printing Filament Making Machine That Recycles PET-based Plastic Bottles Into Usable 3D Printing Filament. The Machine Integrates A Custom-built Extrusion Setup, Cooling System, And Winding Mechanism To Convert Shredded Bottle Pieces Into Uniform Filament. Experimental Trials Demonstrate That The Machine Is Capable Of Producing High-quality Filament Suitable For Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D Printing Applications. Through A Systematic Exploration Of Materials, Processes, And Sustainability Impacts, This Project Contributes To Addressing Plastic Waste Challenges While Promoting Circular Economy Principles.
