What it is. EUMAKEIT is an upcycling design project based on the functional reuse of the primary and secondary packaging of the EUMAKERS spool (patented) for PLA filaments through multicomponent design and integration with 3D printing technology. The goal is to define a zero impact product, reconverting waste into functional objects: from a single EUMAKERS spool it is possible to obtain up to 11 EUMAKEIT design objects, in regenerated and biodegradable material.
Materials.
1. Biodegradable, compostable, non-toxic and odorless PLA, virgin and/or regenerated, available in the form of filament for 3D printers in over 100 colors and used to create design objects of the eumakeit collection.
2. The multi-component spool on which the filament is wound [primary packaging] is made of polystyrene and polycarbonate.
3. Cardboard is used for spool packaging and multi-item shipments.
Product.
1. EUMAKERS' filament spool [PLA filament for 3D printers];
2. EUMAKERS' coat hanger [obtained from the recomposition of the spool];
3. Mr Piggy [single package of the spool, which turns into a piggy bank];
4. EUMAKERS eco bin box [shipping box convertible into recycling bin] ;
5. EUMAKEIT more than 90 biodegradable design objects, coming from reuse and customizable in an infinite series of color combinations.
Design and communication. Thanks to the direct participation of the consumer, put in a position to transform waste into a resource with 3D printing, the brand establishes a relationship of trust and benefit for both parties, conveying to the public the value of a process of circular economy.
Technology. The models in the eumakeit collection are 3D printed (additive manufacturing), a technology that, by definition, does not produce waste or scrap, optimizing the use of raw materials.
Sustainability. EUMAKERS proposal derives from a sustainable approach that is realized through:
1. production processes powered by solar panels;
2. use of virgin or regenerated biocompatible plastics for the production of filaments for 3D printing;
3. design of primary and secondary reusable packaging.
