Winkle, a company committed to the environment

Faithful to our commitment to the environment, we came up with the idea of ​​looking for a new supplier of spools for our filament. After searching for more sustainable spools, we opted for the Alpaplastic brand.

What makes these 3D spools different?
These new 3D spools have a design of five asymmetric sections and straight “diamond” ribs and the best thing is that they are made from recycled materials from garbage.

At Winkle we are committed to sustainability

At the end of 2020, Winkle launched our recycled 3D filament.

Our recycled PLA filament is an ecological and sustainable option, made from biodegradable materials. It is easy to print, with excellent adhesion between layers and great resistance. On the other hand, our recycled PETG filament stands out for its durability and flexibility, ideal for applications that require mechanical resistance.

Both recycled filaments are a conscious alternative to reduce the environmental impact, without compromising the quality of your prints. Discover the range of recycled filaments at Winkle and contribute to caring for the planet.
The PLA-HD filament is created from the waste that will be generated in the production of the filaments. We want to do our bit to stop global warming and the accumulation of waste.

What is a sustainable company?

Sustainable companies are those that seek the best management of resources with the least possible impact on the environment. These companies understand that to be competitive they must be responsible with the environment.

“Being green is in fashion” and although not all companies see it clearly in order to assess the return on investment or generate short-term benefits, it is necessary for them to implement measures aimed at carrying out a philosophy of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Far from being altruistic actions, it has been proven that following this business line helps to improve relations with all the company’s interest groups.

This, which began as a trend, is here to stay. One of the reasons that has encouraged companies has been the influence of international markets, as well as the concern of consumers.
