Filamentive hopes to recycle your PLA if you’re in the UK and order over £500 worth of filament. Their partner 3D Printing Waste (3DPW) will turn the PLA into injection molding pellets or other products after you send it to them in a box. 

The EnerAM project hopes to make atomizing DED powder more efficient, with 20% less powder use, thanks to a £1 million grant from the UK government.
