Taulman Enviro PETG

Taulman3D is a filament manufacturer specialised in two materials: nylon and co-polyester (PET). It has a very wide and interesting range of materials, especially for professional users in the mechanical or medical industry.

Taulman Enviro PETG filament is a non-toxic thermoplastic copolyester that can be used, for example, in the manufacture of clothing and products such as containers. Unlike PET filaments, it does not crystallise when heated, making it very tough and flexible, as well as being chemically resistant (resistant to water, acids, alkalis and alcohols) and translucent (depending on the colour). PETG is a material with high durability and a low melting point, ideal characteristics for creating resistant parts that are easy to thermoform or extrude, making it a good alternative to ABS or Nylon in some applications. 

Taulman Enviro PETG is part of taulman3D's new range of 100% recycled polymers for 3D printing. Recycling is a process that aims to convert waste into new products or raw materials for further use. Recycling prevents the waste of potentially useful materials, reduces the consumption of new raw materials, energy use, air and water pollution and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

The difference between Taulman Enviro PETG and other recycled filaments on the market is that most recycled filaments are not 100% recycled, but use small percentages of recycled plastic mixed with virgin material, and in many cases the characteristics they offer are not suitable for technical use. This manufacturer aims to promote sustainable 3D printing, without compromising the properties and quality of the material. 

Like the filament, the packaging is environmentally friendly, as Taulman Enviro PETG filaments are presented wound on 100% recycled cardboard spools.

Enviro PETG is the first fully recycled polymer in the manufacturer's line of recycled filaments, as taulman3d continues to work on new recycled filaments to help reduce plastic waste.
