This research work focuses on the utilization of waste ocean plastics with waste agro-industrial pyrolyzed biomass to develop complex shaped value-added prototypes through additive manufacturing. Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)-based three-dimensional (3D) printing of recycled HDPE/PP blends was challenging due to significant warpage-related problems during printing. Reinforcing these blend plastics with fillers played a significant role in the efficient 3D printing of complex-shaped objects. In this research, a blend of these recycled HDPE (70%) (rHDPE) and recycled PP (30%) (rPP) collected from the ocean shores was reinforced with pyrolyzed soy hulls-based biocarbon (20%) to fabricate filaments employed for developing specimens through injection molding as well as FFF-based 3D printing. The design of experiments (DOE) using Taguchi method was performed to determine the optimized 3D printing parameters to obtain the defect-free printed specimens. The results suggested that the injection-molded samples showed better mechanical properties as compared with 3D printed samples.
