A method of additive manufacturing is comprised of providing a material comprised of a ethyl cellulose polymer having an ethoxy content of 43% to 52% by mass and a plasticizer. The material is heated and dispensed through a nozzle to form an extrudate deposited on a base. The base, nozzle or combination thereof is moved while dispensing the material so that there is horizontal displacement between the base and nozzle in a predetermined pattern to form an initial layer of the material on the base and successive layers of the material are adhered on the initial layer to form an additive manufactured part by repeating the aforementioned steps. The article formed of the ethyl cellulose polymer may be used in many applications such as those related to the pharmaceutical and food industries.

A method for purifying a contaminated reclaimed polyethylene. The method includes providing the contaminated reclaimed polyethylene, extracting it with a solvent to produce an extracted contaminated reclaimed polyethylene, and then dissolving it in the solvent to produce a first suspension comprising dissolved polyethylene and suspended contaminants. The first suspension is settled to produce a second suspension comprising dissolved polyethylene and suspended remaining contaminants, and the second suspension is purified by contacting it with solid media to produce a third suspension comprising purer polyethylene. Finally, the purer polyethylene is separated from the third suspension and it has low b* value.
