Abstract
The development of innovative, cost-effective, and recyclable consumer products for building infrastructure plays a significant role in attaining sustainable development goals (SDGs) at national and international levels. This is so because the value-added products obtained from recycled thermoplastic material not only decrease the burdens of waste management but also bought forward the advanced applications of material processing routes for novel consumer applications. This study highlights the investigations performed on tertiary (3°) recycling (R) of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thermoplastic solid plastic waste to prepare feedstock for 3D printing applications. 3D printing-based manufacturing has a significant role in industrial and infrastructure development. The nano-graphene (nG) reinforced PVDF composite matrix prepared by 3°R was tested for acceptable 3D printing-based manufacturing practices. The results of the study outlined that 3°R PVDF-10%nG (by weight proportion) may be used for the fabrication of functional prototypes by material extrusion based 3D printing.
