I'd question whether you'd be able to use recycled materials in your 3d printer reliably, and I think you'll find that the things you make with the 3d printer will be so expensive as to not be competitive. Do you really know how much a tire would cost to 3d print compared to what it costs to mold one?
You can get branded sports jerseys online for $20. I doubt you'd sell too many $250, or even $125 jerseys.
Water bottles are polyethylene terephthalate, which will not make useful fabrics.
I wouldn't invest in your company. Doesn't sound too practical.

You say you "already have everything patented", which makes us wonder what on earth you're talking about, since that statement is clearly false.
People have been recycling and reusing materials for a very long time.
Add: You cannot patent an "idea", you can only patent an invention. You cannot patent a name. If you actually have valuable patents issued, someone in the industry would have contacted you shortly after your invention was published (i.e., 18 months after your priority filing date). On the other hand, if what you say is true (if muddled), you can certainly find investors to pay for the necessary market research, R&D and additional fees to protect your inventions and their respective patents.
Many people falsely believe that simply "filing a provisional" gets them a patent. That hasn't been true since about 1840, when the US patent office started to actually examine the applications. Unless someone has filed a non-provisional, made the necessary amendments to get it issued, and paid the issue fee, then they actually have no legal pro5ection at all.
I get enough of a reward already in the form of a reduced garbage bill.
I don't believe 3D printing will make any object you want out of any material. Sure you can make a tire, but it will be a plastic tire instead of a rubber tire.
If i am getting reward then definitely I would go for the recycle. Its always good to reuse or recycle the things
Around here, they don't use a reward system (carrot and stick). They use the penal system (whip and chain). Recycling is mandated.
would you recycle if you knew the items you recycled were used to make the name brand item you ordered.? for example, you collect 25 plastic water bottles and send them off to me, i make you an exact name brand version of your favorite sports jersey. and in return instead of buying full price you get 25 or 50% off because you supplied the material. so what would normally cost you 250$ could cost you 125$. its not just water bottles either its everything. with 3D printing ANYTHING can be made, action figures, barbies, plates, tires, car parts, anything.
im about to launch my company that does just this, i already have EVERYTHING patented thats why im posting this on here. =) i just want to change and save the world.
