3 Crucial Factors for a Complete Circular Economy - Plastic Bag Producers

 

The production of plastic bags and plastic films around the globe is huge. In recent years, producers have implemented new technologies to complete a circular economy in their factories. To make this possible, producers need a plastic recycling system that produces good quality pellets and a blown film machine that can process up to 100% recycled plastic pellets.

 

The new trend, of using a high content of plastic recycled pellets, made producers look for better technologies and machines. There are 3 main factors that bag producers and film producers take into account:

 

highly flexible blown film machines

1. Blown Film Machines with a high degree of flexibility

Bag producers want to cover a large range of plastic bags. In which, they want to process different colors, different sizes, and different plastic materials (especially recycled pellets and CaCO3) while maintaining the same quality as using virgin resins.

2. Good quality recycled pellets from the Plastic Recycling System

Purchasing a plastic pelletizing system is one of the most important decisions to complete a circular economy in the factory for plastic bag producers. A good pelletizing system allows plastic producers to return higher recycled pellets from their factory waste back to reproduction. For this reason, they are cautious when purchasing a plastic recycling system. They are looking for a complete system that includes cutting, extrusion, and pelletizing in one machine that reprocesses good-quality recycled pellets.

3. Simple operation and maintenance

The design of the blown film machines and plastic recycling system is critical for plastic bag producers and their operators. For the producers, it’s important for production efficiency and sustainability, and for the operators how it is to operate and check the machine if something is off.
 

New trends. New solutions for the circular economy.

Fulfilling these 3 factors is crucial to completing the cycle of the circular economy. It is possible with the right machinery. POLYSTAR offers customized solutions for both blown film machines and plastic recycling systems for its customers to achieve new trends in the market.

Successful Case

Ecuadorian customer, Eduardo Zamora, shares his experience of using both recycling and blown film systems in his factory.
  • blown film machines for bag production
  • plastic film recycling machine
  •  
Plasticonsumo is an Ecuadorian company that adds up to 100% of recycled materials to a variety of plastic products, including white, colorful, and striped T-shirt bags, pre-cut rolls, and garbage bags.
 

“Most POLYSTAR blown film machines work at an average of 70% recycled material, and in some cases, up to 100% recycled material.”

 

Eduardo said while explaining what he accomplished with the extruder and co-extruder. Plasticonsumo now produces and customizes its final goods (plastic bags), as well as recycles both factory and post-consumer waste, using POLYSTAR machinery.

 
"I had been working with other Taiwanese manufacturers for a long time before deciding to switch to POLYSTAR completely. For one thing, it was the quality. And for another, it's the trust and friendship we've had for one another" 
 
- Eduardo Zamora, CEO of Plasticonsumo
