One of the primary issues with waste management and environmental preservation in recent years has been the recycling of plastic. Polymer materials are used in many aspects of daily life and business. In addition to their extended use, plastic garbage became a problem since it was a persistent and dangerous waste after it was stopped. Reusing polymeric materials maximises waste utilization to create consumable items and creates a path of valorisation, or a second life. The 3D printing sector is one that is rapidly growing. A variety of thermoplastic materials, including recycled ones, can be used to make printable filaments. The article details a new application for material recovered from the recycling of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS): filaments that may be used in 3D printing were made by combining material gathered from 3D printing waste with machine filament waste. Using a universal testometer, samples of recycled ABS (rABS) and virgin ABS (vABS) from printing waste were mixed at seven distinct concentrations. The recycled polymer ABS was mixed with varying concentrations of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO nano), and the impact of these particles on the mechanical characteristics of the polymer was investigated. After mixing the recycle polymer with nano filler ZnO at 3% concentration, fatigue tests were conducted on it and choose the life of recycle polymer.
