Carbon Source, a subsidiary of Washington-based resource reclamation firm CarbonMeta Technologies, has announced a Plastic Upcycling Partner Program for 3D printing service providers and makerspaces.
The program will give 3D printing filament purchase discounts to partners who upcycle their waste plastics through Carbon Source, as the company attempts to reduce the amount of waste plastic disposed of in landfills.
The firm has also unveiled its Upcycling Classroom Grant Program which aims to encourage students to come up with new ways of upcycling waste plastics within their local communities.
“This Plastic Upcycling Partner Program provides incentives that encourage makerspaces and 3D printer services to upcycle their waste plastics and better steward thermoplastic materials,” said Lloyd Spencer, Chairman and CEO of CarbonMeta Technologies, and Carbon Source President.
