Topic: Bad prints go into the bin => how to recycle those ?

Hello,
Since I started in the new world of the 3D printing, I got a lot of wastes.
Does some one developped an extruder to convert those wastes in filament ?

I saw some on the web but never drawing, parts needed, instructions...

Have you found some thing ?

You can use some of your scraps to make ABS glue for repairs and welding parts together.

ABS glue is great for abs, but what do you do with PLA? Has anyone done a test to see how quickly it degrades in the compost? Or try making a PLA glue?
