Materials
Let's make things right
Why using new plastics when there is so much plastic waste around us? Currently only a small percentage of plastics is recycled, the rest ends up on landfill, incineration or ,even worse, in nature. It’s time for change, no more plastic waste(d).
Enabling others
With Refil we want to enable other creators to make everything they make fully recycled. Like w.r. yuma, they make beautiful sunglasses from our filament.
