Bahrain – Second POLYSTAR in operation
In February, the
second POLYSTAR recycling machine was installed in Bahrain to process in-house
HDPE, LDPE, PP and BOPP film waste. The Manama-based film and bag producer
decided to purchase the POLYSTAR exhibition machine off the floor after seeing
an impressive live machine demonstration during the trade show in UAE. “The
high quality pellets and the compactness of the machine was fascinating,” said
the managing director of the Bahraini plastic producer. “Most importantly, my
factory manager learned the operation of the machine after seeing it for only 2
days. It is so simple!” The POLYSTAR recycling machine has been running 24/7
for the past 10 months since the installation.
The flexible
packaging producer located in Bahrain produces a wide variety of products
including HDPE, LDPE, PP, BOPP bags and rolls, shopping bags, garbage bags,
food packaging bags, laundry bags, construction rolls, warning tape, sofra
rolls, table cover sheets and many others. The newly-installed POLYSTAR allows
the producer to reprocess all of its clean, in-house waste and turn it into
high quality recycled pellets. Thanks to the consistently high quality recycled
pellets, a much higher percentage (of recycled pellets) can be put back into
the blown film production lines.
POLYSTR has been very successful in the middle eastern market with more than 35 installations in UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Yemen since 2013.
