Material
Recycled rPETG
Recycled rPETG reprocesses post-consumer or post-industrial PETG waste into new filament. It offers a sustainable alternative to virgin PETG with comparable strength, toughness, and chemical resistance.

About
Recycled rPETG is made by reprocessing post-consumer or post-industrial PETG waste. PETG is among the most widely recycled plastics globally, since it's closely related to the PET used in beverage bottles.
It generally retains strength, impact resistance, and chemical resistance comparable to virgin PETG, along with the same moderate outdoor and UV limitations; ASA remains the better fit for long-term sun exposure.
As with other recycled filaments, batch-to-batch color can vary since different sources are often mixed together, and availability can be less consistent than virgin material depending on recycled feedstock supply.
Recycled rPETG suits protective enclosures, storage containers, and mounting brackets where standard PETG would normally be used.
