The student entrepreneurial team Zithri from the Muscat University of Technology and Applied Sciences has successfully developed a filament dedicated to the circular economy. Their EcoFil 3D printing material is made from processed and filtered waste cooking oil. This Omani startup aims to merge environmental responsibility with technological innovation. According to Zithri, approximately 11,000 tons of waste cooking oil are disposed of improperly in the country each year, which not only severely damages the drainage system but also poses significant environmental hazards. The new EcoFil 3D filament provides a more environmentally friendly plastic alternative for 3D printing users. The project won second place in the second be’ah Technology Incubator Program for its achievements in developing waste cooking oil filament.
Zithri’s Operations Executive Manager, Shahad bint Rashid Al Hosni, stated: “Our goal is to produce high-quality filaments that support sustainability and promote the circular economy. We hope to develop practical solutions through innovation that protect the environment while serving the community.”
