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.

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.

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.

Multiple sets of recycling pelletizing extruders Repro-Flex have been installed in South Africa in the year of 2020, mainly for film producers and bag converters of LDPE, HDPE, PP and BOPP who process their post-industrial (factory) waste in-house.

“Whenever we are expanding and in need of new machines, POLYSTAR is always the first company that comes to our mind.”

Located in Tokyo, the professional PE film recycler has installed one more POLYSTAR HNT-120V recycling machine to process 400~500kg/hr LDPE and HDPE post-industrial film waste. The industrial waste is collected from local plastic factories that produce various types of bags, both printed and non-printed.

The 30-year-old US-based packaging film producer has added a POLYSTAR reclaim line HNT-120V (with capacity of 1,100 pounds/hour) to process its HDPE and LDPE film waste generated from its in-house production.

In Indonesia (Solo, Magelang and Jakarta), POLYSTAR has been working very closely with the leading PE and PP bag producers for their in-house recycling requirements.

With more than 1,200 professional staffs and over 60,000 square meter factory space, the export-oriented PE bag producer located in Thailand has decided to go for POLYSTAR's plastic recycling machine to upgrade it's current in-house recycling process.

Since the installation of the POLYSTAR HNT-120V in Hanoi last September, the 400-500 kg/hr recycling machine has never stopped working for the Hanoi-based film producer who manufactures a wide range of products including HDPE, LDPE/LLDPE, OPP, CPP, BOPP bags as well as stretch film and metallized film.

According to PCI Films, Myanmar features great opportunities for the flexible packaging industry. The country is predicted to have an accelerating rate of growth of 22% per year with respect to its soft packaging consumption.
