Abstract: 
Additive manufacturing technologies can make a significant contribution to more efficient, more sustainable and more personalized products. Additive manufacturing promise over conventional production techniques diverse efficiency improvements, not only in terms of cost but also in terms of material and energy conservation, as well as improved working conditions, all reflected in the economic, environmental and social accounting. For example, a shredder and plastic extruder can turn a non-valuable object like thermoplastic domestic waste, into a valuable product like 3D printer filament. Comparing the cost of 100kg of sorted plastic waste ($1.00) with 1kg of 3D printer ABS-filament ($25), an uplift ratio of 2500:1 is realized. The aim of this thesis is the scientific analysis of 3D printer filaments, made from recycled plastic waste. For this purpose, two plastic recyclers, available at our department, shall be used to produce 3D printer filaments from different kind of thermoplastic wasters such as ABS, PLA, TPE or LDPE and shall be tested regarding the criteria of hardness, tensile strength, optical quality features and printability.
