CREAMELT® TPU-R: Elastic Filament for 3D Printers

Description

CREAMELT® TPU-R is an elastic filament for 3D printers, 100 % made from recycled ski boots. To reuse the material, old ski boots are collected and diassembled by persons with a disability of ARGO workshop in Davos. After chemical analysis and colour sorting, the collected plastic is shredded, remelted and extruded to new 3D filaments. CREAMELT® TPU-R gives you the ability to design and print durable elastic objects made from recycled materials and is a sustainable alternative to virgin material.

Statement of the jury

This plastic recycled from old ski boots is yet another striking demonstration that sustainable, recycled goods are more than equal to new goods – technically, functionally and aesthetically.
