I know it’s a rather random rant but if we want to highlight a EU company, can we at least ensure that the website supports English? I know everyone loves their native language but people are striving to be more unified in Europe and English is the working language of the EU.
And also, please send your stuff to all EU countries, at least (they do seemingly, but plenty of others do not).
Also do not exploit differently abled people for cheap labor. Working programs in the so called “Werkstätten für Behinderte” in Germany are a sweatshop for differently abled people and recyclingfabrik is using them to sort filament waste by colours for cheap.
That’s sad. They should be treated properly.
Yes, so right now I’m torn between recycling and worker’s rights 🥲
Maybe Formfutura is a good alternative!
Also FormFutura is a Dutch company that sells recycled PET, PLA, ABS, ASA, and TPU filament and has a website in English with good prices.
Also a recycling service of course
The big question being: what is recycled filament? What was the previous usage of that plastic? Could it be enough to just add like a few percent of the in plant waste (stuff that gets removed from machines between batches for example) to new pellets to call it recycling. I expect 90% of what’s sold as recycling filament to be such a greenwashed product. I sincerely hope it’s bot the case but I’m sceptic.
TIL! Thank you!
They give you points if you send your old print waste there. Finally somewhere to sent that stuff.
