Topic: Recycling CDs to get polycarbonate to generate filament

Hi guys.
Sorry to bother you. I was searching for a forum to help me in a project that I have and someone might help me somehow.

Let me introduce myself: my name is Luan. I work in an advertising agency.
I have a project here in the agency for a global brand and I need some kind of information.
My idea is to recycle CDs, to get the polycarbonate to use it as a filament to make a 3D print.
We contacted a supplier here and they are saying that to recycle the CDs are too complicated and take a lot of money.

I want to know if you guys have any kind of information that could help me. I watched some videos online and contacted a company from US that did that experiment.

This is one video that I watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rftNhZM6ea4
This company has a machine called EX6, that helped them to recycle the CDs to get the polycarbonate.

Do you guys know how this process is? And how difficult it is?
Thank you so much and sorry to bother you.
