Post-industrial and post-consumer plastic recycling activities are rapidly growing in Türkiye and contribute to environmental as well as economic sustainability. POLYSTAR is proud of standing with Turkish plastic recyclers and manufacturers by providing simple-to-use yet efficient plastic recycling machines. Today, over 45 POLYSTAR machines operate in Türkiye.

During a fruitful exhibition at Saudi PPPP, POLYSTAR also shared the happiness of meeting its existing customers. Witnessing their growth over the years, and discussing their new plastic recycling and blown film extrusion projects has made these meetings more meaningful.

Takemura Co., Ltd., located in Mieken, Japan, is a renowned fishnet manufacturer in the local market. Their diverse product range from fishnets, bird nets, and light shielding sheets, to canvas products. With extensive knowledge and experience, they stand as a leading fishnet manufacturer in Japan.

A well-known Turkish CPP cast film producer Kamel Cast Film recycles its edge trim wastes with POLYSTAR’s Repro-Flex plastic recycling machine. Instead of throwing away these edge trim wastes, the company sells them as high-quality, virgin materials like recycled CPP pellets in the local market and Europe region. The buyers of recycled CPP pellets use them in the production of several different plastic packaging products.

At the end of 2022, POLYSTAR attended Plast Eurasia and cherished once again meeting many of its customers and visitors from Türkiye and neighboring markets.

Global polymer price increase and the obstacles to reach out the resources, push many manufacturers to find alternative solutions. One of the most effective methods is in-house recycling of factory production wastes.

Plastic packaging production and demand, as well as recycling, have increased in Latin America. As a result, having machinery that produces high-quality and long-lasting finished goods is critical.

In-house recycling of stretch wrap, pallet wrap and shrink wrap waste significantly reduces the cost

One of the leading PP (polypropylene) packaging producers in Nigeria has recently acquired a 85mm Polystar PP woven sack recycling machine. The company focuses on the production of PP woven bags and jumbo bags. On average, the production lines generate 2~3% waste and has been costing too much for the company to send the scraps outside for recycling.

Managing director of the Tennessee-based recycler, Mr. Irvin Payne, shares his own experience with Polystar recycling extruder:

Post-industrial recycling of PP raffia, woven sacks, tapes, non-woven/woven could be challenging at times for some producers due to the following reasons: 

The air-cooled pelletizing recycling machine Repro-Air has proven to be a big cost-saver for two of the largest PE bag producers located in Solo, Indonesia – Cahaya Kharisma and Djerapah Plastindo.
