About Discussions Projects10 Journals6 Publications1

Recycled plastic represents a growing area of design practice where architects and designers transform waste materials into viable building components, furniture, and installations. This approach addresses environmental concerns while exploring the material properties and aesthetic possibilities of reclaimed plastics.

The community examines recycled plastic through material research, public infrastructure design, and adaptive reuse projects. Work ranges from technical analysis of recycled filaments and mechanical properties to large-scale pavilions, smart waste systems, and commercial spaces that demonstrate practical applications of plastic waste in built environments.

Analysis of samples’ mechanical properties made with a low cost 3D printer, using filaments of virgin and recycled PLA

The experiment analyzes samples’mechanical properties, made with a low-cost 3D printers using commercially PLA’s filaments, recycled twice.We discovered that recyclying PLA doesn’t alters its mechanical proprieties. We want to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste, improving 3d printing and recycle processes. It will reduce planet's pollution.
