Doesn't this just ensure you're 3d prints can't be recycled from regular trash pickup?

Indeed, the intention is not to rely on centralized recycling.

You'd use the artme perhaps, if you need to turn your 3D print into something new: https://youtu.be/BT04glGDjB4

Actually most PET bottles dont get recycled anyway (less than 30% in the US), so turning them into something useful yourself is probly better than tossing them in the bin where they'll likely end up in a landfill.
