3D Printing and Sustainable Visual Merchandising: Reducing Waste and Environmental Impact

3D Printing & The Environment

3D printing has opened up a world of possibilities for businesses across the globe. Its revolutionary technologies are creating more efficient ways to create visual solutions, providing businesses with more flexibility and on-demand capabilities to manage their visual merchandising.

As with many new technologies, there is a focus on the environmental impact of these developments, and there are many cases to be made for its positive impact. 

How 3D Printing Benefits The Environment

  • It Reduces Waste: 3D printing has the potential to reduce waste in manufacturing by only using the necessary amount of material to create a product. A recent study completed by the European Union demonstrated the extent to which this is possible, potentially reducing waste by up to 90% when compared to traditional printing methods. Due to the on-demand nature of 3D printing, there is no reason to print any more than what’s required.
  • It Uses Recycled Materials: Recycled materials can be used in 3D printing. Because of this, the impact that this method of printing can have on the environment is reduced as it provides businesses with an opportunity to print using more environmentally friendly materials. 
  • There’s A Biodegradable Focus: The use of biodegradable and compostable materials in 3D printing can create more sustainable products that are less harmful to the environment. A study completed by Materials Today has highlighted how using biodegradable materials in 3D printing can reduce energy consumption by up to 50%. It’s anticipated that this is an industry that will continue to grow too, with a 12.5% market growth rate anticipated for biodegradable printing materials.
  • It Reduces Negative Emissions: 3D printing can also reduce carbon emissions associated with transportation, as products can be printed on demand locally rather than being shipped from far away. The US Department of Energy has found in early studies of the technology that it has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30% when compared to traditional methods, which would have a tremendously positive impact on not only the industry but the environment as a whole. 

The technologies behind 3D printing will continue to develop and become more efficient. We can expect that advancements in the technology will become more environmentally friendly too, as there is a great deal of focus on ensuring new technologies complement wider goals surrounding sustainability and limiting environmental impact in manufacturing.
