Is there a viable method or company to recycle failed prints or prototypes? I've been keeping all of my PETG stuff in a box, still a way to go before it's full but was curious if anyone had any experience here whether it be something diy or shipping them to a company.

There is a startup in Germany that recycles filament: https://recyclingfabrik.com/

They even provide shipping labels from Germany and Europe if you send in a certain amount. You can also buy their recycled products.

3kg inside Germany, 15kg for the rest of Europe. I'd have to hoard quite a bit to get 15kg of waste filament together..

Yeah, 15KG is a lot of support pieces and prime lines.
