About us
As 3D printing grows, so will the demand for plastic filament, which has the potential to exacerbate our already-existing plastic waste issues. Filamentive was set-up to address the environmental concerns in 3D printing - committed to using recycled materials where possible, without compromising quality. Used by thousands of makers, 3D Hubs, businesses and universities, Filamentive has become a main player in the 3D printing market - being named “One of the Most Impactful Start-ups” by Web Summit in 2017 and named as a finalist for 3D Printing Material Company of the Year in 2018 & 2019. We are passionate about pioneering sustainability in desktop 3D printing. With our high standards of quality and customer service, we offer a proposition like no other.

Managing Director at Filamentive - Reducing the Environmental Impact of 3D Printing with Sustainable Materials
We profit from plastics. Why would we want to reduce their use? At Filamentive, yes, we're in the business of plastics—but we're also in the business of change 🌟 #EarthDay provides a moment for us all to reflect not just on where we are, but on where we need to go. For us, it’s about being better, not perfect. It’s about continuous improvement and taking meaningful steps towards reducing plastic pollution 🌎 As part of our mission, we're excited to collaborate with EARTHDAY.ORG and lead the charge towards a more sustainable future 🌿 In our latest blog post, we delve into how Filamentive is pioneering efforts to make 3D printing more responsible. Here are some of the initiatives we’re undertaking / supporting: ♻️ Recycling Partnership: We've launched the UK’s first free PLA 3D printing waste recycling service, marking a significant step in addressing the environmental challenges posed by 3D printing. ❌ Phasing Out Single-Use Plastics: Our commitment extends to using 100% recyclable cardboard spools for our filament products, reducing the reliance on hard-to-recycle plastic spools. 💡 Innovative Re-Textiles 3D Project: Collaborating / support designers like Ganit Goldstein, we're help to transform 3D printing into a tool for sustainable fashion, thereby reducing the fast fashion footprint. 🌱 Investing in Innovation: Filamentive is at the forefront of researching and developing biodegradable materials, such as compostable filaments that align with practical environmental sustainability goals. Learn how you can contribute to a cleaner, plastic-free planet and support sustainable technologies in 3D printing: https://lnkd.in/ev--q2Ap Let’s innovate and act together for a greener tomorrow 💚 #EarthDay2024 #Sustainability #3DPrinting #EndPlastics #PlasticPollution
