Our Services

Every year, thousands of tons of plastic waste are generated from failed 3D prints and excess filament. We believe this waste can become a source of inspiration and creation!

Pohl Industries seeks to change the narrative around 3D printing by repurposing waste materials and fostering a culture of sustainability in our community.

What We Aim to Do:

Collect: Establish a network for collecting 3D printing waste from makers, businesses, and enthusiasts across the Nation. 

Recycle: Transform this 3D waste into usable filament.

Why This Matters: In a world facing a plastic crisis, we offer a tangible solution. By turning waste into something useful and beautiful, we can reduce our environmental footprint and promote a culture of sustainability. Together, we can transform our waste into something better

How it works: 

  1. You Pre-Order your box based on the amount of 3D filament you currently have.

  2. Once your box arrives, you fill box with your 3D filament waste. (Including spools of any kind) 

  3. Attach the provided return label and drop off or have a pickup of the filled box. 

  4. Once box returns to destination, it will be processed and recycled through.

Currently we only accept PLA and empty spools. We could potentially begin accepting more as our processing center gets operational.
