Print The Planet Green
3D-printing collaboration with colorFabb®
Engineering a Greener Future
Real change requires a shift in how we think about materials. Print the Planet Green is the result of a powerful synergy between materials science and circular engineering. Together with our partners, we are replacing petrochemical plastics with high-performance, eggshell-based PHA filaments, proving that the future of additive manufacturing is biobased.
Precision printing with 100% biodegradable, mineral-filled materials.
From local eggshell waste to high-performance PHA filament.
“With Print the Planet Green, we are not just creating a new filament; we are proving that the materials of the future are already here, hidden in our rest-streams. It’s about localizing production to solve global problems.”
Key Results
Successful PHA Integration: Developed a high-performance 3D printing filament by successfully compounding bio-based PHA with calcium carbonate derived from eggshell waste.
Optimized Printability: Achieved industrial-grade print settings that rival traditional petrochemical filaments (like PLA/ABS) in terms of strength and ease of use.
Verified Biodegradability: Confirmed that the resulting material remains fully compostable, ensuring a closed-loop lifecycle from start to finish.
Local Supply Chain Established: Built a functional regional ecosystem involving waste collection, material processing, and final product manufacturing within a 100km radius.
