BendiNewsTest: Now you can 3D print with recycled coffee grounds

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Now you can 3D print with recycled coffee grounds

3D printing is unstoppable lately, yet eco-conscious consumers are left with the question “yeah, but is it sustainable?” With many materials being made from plastic and other non-recyclable matter, finding an environmentally-friendly medium is a big concern. Luckily, 3Dom – one of the largest manufacturers of filament for 3D printing – has teamed up with biocomposite developer c2renew to bring creators the first filament made from recycled coffee grounds. While this is a great move for socially responsible engineering, I’m willing to bet the best part is the delicious aroma when printing.
