rPLA pro 3D printing filament, 250 g, 1.75 mm (±0.05 mm tolerance), made from 100% recycled PLA. The raw material is mainly post-industrial waste from the manufacturing of food packaging.
This rPLA pro filament prints with a smooth finish, and is indistinguishable from virgin (new) material.
Made in New Zealand, including the all-cardboard spool, the bag, the label, and the instruction card. The spool is shipped in a thick re-usable plastic pouch with zip closure.
The 250 g spool will work great in the AMS 2/pro if you use the 3D printable "AMS buddy (not needed for the Bambu AMS Lite):

Because this filament is made from 100 % recycled plastics, the colour and properties can vary slightly from batch to batch. The filament diameter is controlled twice - both in the extruding process and in the re-spooling process. We are also doing extensive test printing and mechanical testing to ensure this recycled plastic filament is as good as the virgin material.
However, if this filament doesn't work well in your printer, let us know and we will refund you, no matter how little is left on your spool.
>> Recycled plastic FAQ <<<
Why is the recycled PLA filament more expensive than the regular PLA filament?
Recycling of plastic is very labour intensive. The material has to be sourced, picked up, sorted, cleaned, shredded, and remelted. Products made from virgin material tend not to include these "end of life costs." However, closing the loop and minimizing our use of resources is important for a future on this planet, so we hope you are OK with paying a bit more for this recycled filament.
Can I send my discarded 3D prints back for recycling? How about the spools, do you take those backs as well?
Yes, absolutely! . You can find the detailed sorting instructions here: https://www.kiwifil.shop/pages/recycling
