Abstract According to the Brazilian Association of the Apparel and Textile Industry (ABIT) [Associacao Brasileira da Industria Textil e de Vestuario], Brazil is world leader in the production of beachwear, and the state of Rio de Janeiro is the largest producer of this segment in the country. In the cutting process of these models, approximately 30% waste of raw material, most of which is discarded in sanitary landfills. In order to transform the textile waste into a new value-added material, this paper addresses the initial results of a filament prototype for 3D printers, using pre-consumer polyamide mesh waste from the production of beachwear. As theoretical support we discuss the circular economy and circular fashion concepts, additive manufacturing and textile recycling. One solution proposes to use this filament in printing trims and accessories on demand and or customized, to replenish their production.
