Filament recycling options for PLA, PETG, and TPU (lemmy.world)

I've been doing a lot of research but a lot of the stuff I find is about recycling filament scrap yourself and making it a new spool which I would love to do however I don't have the time or the space to do that. Are there services that recycle PLA, PETG, and TPU I'm in the US.

Heck I'll even send someone the scrap if they want to recycle it themselves.

I've been just collecting all the bits by type and I'm wanting to set up a small grinder and injection mold system. It seems like recycling the scrap isn't worth the time and effort to most businesses
