EKO MB

EKO MB makes 3D printing filaments exclusively from recycled plastic. It is a good choice for makers, schools and companies that want to reduce their footprint without giving up everyday materials such as PLA and PETG. JustCreate3D keeps EKO MB filaments in stock in its warehouse in Senec, Slovakia, and dispatches orders quickly.

EKO MB is a branch of a Czech company that processes plastic waste. The raw material comes from post-industrial and post-consumer waste, which is thoroughly cleaned and filtered. The resulting regranulate has properties similar to virgin granulate, so the filament behaves much like its non-recycled counterpart.

EKO MB filaments at JustCreate3D

• rPLA – PLA made from recycled PLA: the easy-to-print option for prototypes, models and decorative parts.
• rPETG – PETG made from recycled PETG waste: tougher than PLA and suitable for functional parts.
• rPET – PET made from recycled bottles: gives a second life to one of the most common packaging plastics.

How to choose

Choose rPLA if you want the simplest printing experience and low warping. Go for rPETG or rPET when parts need more toughness and chemical resistance. Start from your usual settings for the standard material and fine-tune them for your printer.

Frequently asked questions

Is recycled filament as good as virgin filament?

The waste material is thoroughly cleaned and filtered, and the regranulate has properties similar to virgin granulate. For most everyday prints you will not notice a difference in printing behaviour.

Why can the colour differ between batches?

Colour pigments are added during production, but the input waste varies from batch to batch. The shade can therefore differ slightly, so for a large project in one colour it is best to order all spools at once.

Which recycled materials does EKO MB offer?

EKO MB offers three materials: rPLA, rPETG and rPET. You can find other environmentally friendly filaments in our ECO selection.
