I've been doing a lot of research but a lot of the stuff I find is about recycling filament scrap yourself and making it a new spool which I would love to do however I don't have the time or the space to do that. Are there services that recycle PLA, PETG, and TPU I'm in the US.

Heck I'll even send someone the scrap if they want to recycle it themselves.

There is the recycling fabrik in Germany. They take orders from outside Europe as well as far as I know. It has a minimum weight of a few kilos though, so maybe collect with friends and local communities before? They take pla and petg

I've been just collecting all the bits by type and I'm wanting to set up a small grinder and injection mold system. It seems like recycling the scrap isn't worth the time and effort to most businesses
