#24: Give Plastic New Life
There are so many amazing things about 3D printing, but one of the most impressive is the ability to reuse old plastics to create new things. Sure, plenty of 3D printing techniques don’t reuse old materials, but the ones that do are extra impressive.
Take this project as an example. First, this person repurposed this old plastic bottle into a thin wire-like substance to feed through their printer, which then created this little storage box. Talk about reduce, reuse, recycle!
