The technology of 3D printing offers a customizable manufacturing method, while decreasing material waste. The sustainability of this industry is important as it grows into a more important role in the manufacturing market. The use and development of recyclable, biodegradable, and sustainably sourced materials for extrusion‐based 3D printing may allow for a decrease in environmental impacts and demonstrate the importance of this technology as a sustainable method of manufacturing. The goal of this article is to provide an insight into the state of the development of sustainable materials for 3D printing, such as recyclable, biodegradable, and cellulose‐based feedstock.
