The Impact of Multiple Recycling on the Performance of High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) Filament: From Electronic Waste to 3D-Printed Product

Caleb Foster*

DOI: 10.37421/2475-7675.2023.8.302

In recent years, the proliferation of electronic devices has led to a surge in electronic waste (e-waste), creating a pressing need for sustainable disposal and recycling solutions. One promising avenue is the conversion of e-waste plastics, such as High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), into 3D printing filament. This innovative approach not only addresses the e-waste crisis but also contributes to the circular economy.
