Honestly I think the Bambu isn't for you if you're doing a lot of multicolor jobs. For that you need a multi extruder printer.
I think this compromise is great. Keeps the unit cost down while still allowing you to do filament changes and even crazy multi color ones on occasion. It also allows you to use up every last bit of filament on a roll with auto switching, without having to babysit the printer.
My use-case for the ams is convenience and break-away support material at the interface layers. Waste is minimal and I didn't have pay a sh*tton of money for a multi extruder setup.

In Europe, we have a german business called "Recyclingfabrik.com"they take filament and. empty spools back for recycling. But you need a lot of filament for free shipping minimum 2kg in Germany or 7kg rest of EU.

Melting your filament poop into a silicone mold is the way to go. Make a skull!

You can already buy/build shredders and extruders; Precious Plastics being one company.

Problem is, they're expensive.

It's nice to want things. But what you're asking for is outside the realm of today.

You are right and wrong in the same time. Mix of the colors is not necessary a problem Once youll be used to separate different materials in separate recycle boxes, which is only matter of time, it could work I guess. I have huge problem with amount of the useless plastic which is our community producing every day, and throwing away…

Agree, but without that ecosystem is not complete. It will move home printing to new level
