Abstract

In the cutting edge world, getting an essential thing is very easy but getting an essential thing with good quality is too difficult. To survive in the world, first and foremost thing that every creature needs is pure water, food and healthy environment. But nowadays, all these necessary things are affected mainly by plastics. Water pollution is high due to dumping of waste materials and high usage of non-biodegradable waste and other factor. Environment is being polluted by burning plastics which leads to global warming (increase in Earth’s temperature and ozone layer depletion. 


Traditional methods are used in cleaning rivers, lakes and ponds. But to reduce the waste plastics and to recycle it into useful product a best method should be implemented. To solve this problem, this work attempts to create a 3D printer waste recycler that can be used to convert waste plastic material into useful products. So that this product will reduce the dumping of wastes as much as possible. Though this product is available in market, the cost of the product is high and also the strength of the material that is produced is less. Our main objective is to reduce the 3D printing waste generated by producing a product that is low in cost, environment friendly and people friendly.
