This bottle goes from rubbish to filament right before your eyes.
Next up, it's attached to another machine which looks like it's heating the strip and shaping it. This originally has to be pulled through by hand but after the initial setup it looks like they can let the machine take over, which also spools the thread loosely onto a large bobbin.
This bobbin isn't good enough, though, and so the new filament is transferred to a different one to be loaded onto the 3D printing machine. This spits out a nice little 3D printed case for the Raspberry Pi, which looks really nice in that bottle green colour. Plus, no new plastic was required for this little project which is always great.
Watching this video has given me the distinct impression that this process takes a fair amount of time and effort, especially if you want to get a decent amount of printing material. Still, this is one of the first DIY recycling processes I've seen that actually looks feasible for individuals, and Function.3D is kind enough to put tons of information about the process including tutorials.
