On8mil has announced “Re8mil,” a reusable cartridge that redefines the concept of Super 8 film. In addition to its sustainable design that reduces plastic waste, it features a unique “load in good light” system that allows loading without the need for a darkroom. Precision CNC machining ensures high-quality images, proposing a shooting environment that will preserve the beauty of analog for the next generation.
Re8mil: Reusable Super 8 cartridges for light loading
The new Re8mil is a fully reusable, light-loadable cartridge system for Super 8 cameras. This reusable system reduces plastic waste compared to traditional disposable cartridges.
Re8mil is designed to be reusable and aims to make Super 8 film a more sustainable option for modern creators.

Re8mil Structure
- Sealed supply magazine pre-loaded with 50 feet of film.
- In a well-lit area, run the film through the Re8mil transport path – no darkroom or changing bag required.

After shooting
- After shooting, remove the spool and send it along with the used magazine to the On8mil lab for development.
- The lab will service and recycle magazines and spools for continued use to ensure continued availability.
- The Re8mil cartridge body is designed to last, so keep it handy.

Designed for filmmakers
This system uses precision CNC machined metal and UV-cured resin parts, an improved spring-loaded pressure plate for sharper images, and interchangeable modular components.

What is Super 8?
The Super 8 film format was introduced by Kodak in 1965 to simplify amateur filmmaking. Just insert the cartridge and shoot—it remains a favorite among artists, cinematographers, and film enthusiasts today.
Traditional disposable cartridges are often discarded after development. While this design made sense decades ago, in today’s environment it creates a lot of plastic waste. Re8mil claims to offer a new path to sustainability without sacrificing the tactile, analog beauty of Super 8 film.
