@DeKu_Musik: Right - 0,25€ per bottle of 25g of which only 3/4 can be used (best case) equals to 13,33€ per kg for recycled filament, when the cheapest PET-filament on amazon is around 14€.

Same for me i buy my bottles in Belgium but get a deposit back in the netherlands even though you actually shouldn't get part of your money back in Belgium.
Actually tbh, that's relatively a smart idea to use if you can't get more stuff, just take plastic bottles. Set up a plastic trashbin and people are bound to put bottles there.
It’s crazy because I actually do this for a living. We recycle plastic and create industrial strapping using extrusion winders. Granted it’s a bit more complex, involving various ovens/stretchers/machines to bring it into spec for various products, it’s basically the same thing.
This would be a cool art piece on how recycling by itself isn't the answer. It takes more energy to be "green" just so a bottle can end up as another one-use plastic that will be thrown away again. It's just consuming more energy.
