Then the mixture is heated and melted to release into filament-form by an integrated 3D printer, creating cups to serve the juice. After the use, 3D printed bioplastic cups are deposited by customers for recycling.This prototype shows the circularity of life. It depicts the use and benefits of the approach of circularity in the environment. According to Ratti, the next iterations of Feel the Peel could print fabric for clothing from orange peels.
