Filaments are the materials normally used in 3D printing. There are two types of filaments that are used in 3D printing: Polylactic acid (PLA) and
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS).
The difference between these two types of filaments is PLA is made out of biodegradable plastic and ABS is made out of oil based materials. Although, ABS has a longer life span and is also stronger than PLA, when ABS is used in 3D printing, there will always be a smell of oil/fossil fuels when the material is used in 3D printing. PLA filaments are able to form in a bigger variety of shapes than ABS filaments.

According to http://blog.drupa.com/3d-printing-at-home-could-be-a-green-and-socially-responsible-choice/, the 3D printer was able to successfully print using recyclable plastics to create 3D objects.
“We have tested some ocean plastic sent to us from the Plastic Bank. It was primarily HDPE and printed really well”, says Pearce.

Instead of spending money on filament (material that is used in 3D printing), recycled plastic can be the material's replacement, which will save money for companies that purchase the filaments.

People will have to sort out the plastic rubbish from the normal rubbish, which will not be appealing towards people if the company needs more workers

Marine animals around the world are dying because of the massive amount of plastic (as there is the possibility of marine animals will suffocate as they will consume the plastic material). So therefore, having less plastic around will benefit the marine ecosystems/animals especially.

Will benefit the environment, as there will be the probability that plastics will end up dumped in the environment will reduce.
