Additive manufacturing, particularly through fused deposition modeling (FDM), has significantly advanced rapid prototyping and customized production. However, traditional FDM practices raise environmental concerns due to energy use waste generation. This research explores integrating bio-energy sources reduction techniques within enhance sustainable production practices. By implementing renewable optimizing material usage, this approach aims lower the carbon footprint associated with FDM. Our study reviews state-of-the-art methods such as biodegradable polymers, energy-efficient hardware, waste-reducing design algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate that of recycled materials can maintain mechanical performance while enhancing sustainability. For instance, PLA achieved a tensile strength 52.4 MPa an elongation at break 6.1%, PHA showed 59.4 5.5%. Both high recovery rates, 92.7% 90.2%, indicating effective closed-loop recovery. These findings indicate substantial reductions in consumption, promoting both industrial consumer-level applications. contributes field additive manufacturing by aligning circular economy principles addressing global need for reduced impact.
