I wrote an article over on 3Dprintingindustry with an aim to stimulate some further discussions about the use of 3D printing plastic, recycling, quality, cost, materials and technology - http://bit.ly/1h2NutA
Please discuss what you think about the current situation, where you believe it’s going. Also what are your thoughts on the recycling system proposed by http://www.ethicalfilament.org/ and anything else too.
Yah good read and good questions to ask.
Consumers are already pretty well trained to give preference to recycled and “green” products.
There is definitely a (premium) market if the quality is there
+1 for PETE!

Step 1 - process waste water with biodigester and then photobioreactor
Step 2 - Dry algae using solar drier
Step 3 - Use concentrated solar gasification
Step 4 - Assemble long chain hydrocarbons
Step 5 - Synthesis bioplastic.
Plastic made from poo. 
With ethicalfilament can individuals be thought how to produce their own non ogm pla ?
Do you consider ogm pla as ethical ?
No polemic idea in these questions. Just to have some thoughts and better understanding of ethicalfilament :-).
