Oman Plastic Recycler Partners with POLYSTAR for a Circular Economy in the GCC Region
The professional recycler, Recycling Services LLC, operates in Oman and Saudi Arabia in several locations. The recycler is dedicated to being a main actor in spreading a circular economy of plastics for all parties in the GCC region, already stepped into a long-term partnership with POLYSTAR at the first machine purchase of Repro-Flex 120.
Plastic recycling requirement in the GCC region
Escalating demand for recycled plastic along with the state regulations, is not an exception in the GCC region. With the contemporary policies of the states to derive the oil-intensive economies to other business fields, plastic manufacturing as well as recycling is becoming one of the major industries.
(LDPE and LLDPE film waste)
The plastic waste generation in the region is huge, and the waste types vary including industrial production wastes and post-consumer wastes of shopping bags, sufra, shrink films, drums, pipes, disposable plastic food containers, and so on. Many plastic producers and recyclers in the GCC region are becoming more conscious about converting these wastes into reusable materials and investing in recycling equipment for this purpose.
Recycling these plastic wastes in the region and reusing them in production has provided many advantages to businesses such as reducing production costs, logistics costs, and material costs as well as creating a sustainable impact for the environment.
Cooperating with POLYSTAR for a Sustainable Future
Recycling Services LLC is one of the first-mover renowned recyclers who saw the potential of converting waste to a sustainable economy. The company has a long-term plan for converting plastic waste generated by factories and households to reusable quality granules and products. Therefore, after conducting deep research in the market, the company decided to cooperate with POLYSTAR to put this plan into practice.
The first machine investment for the Saudi Arabia branch
The first meeting dated back to the Saudi PPPP exhibition in June 2023, as a result of the comprehensive discussions about the waste materials to recycle and the equipment, the company decided on the Repro-Flex 120 cutter compactor integrated plastic recycling line for processing mainly slightly contaminated LDPE and LLDPE film waste collected from factories and supermarkets.
Repro-Flex is a user-friendly cutter compactor integrated flexible plastic pelletizer for processing various types of plastic materials including film and bag scraps, soft irrigation tapes, and crushed regrinds.
When the manufacturing process of the machine was accomplished, the Recycling Services team visited the POLYSTAR factory in Taiwan to attend to the test running of the recycling machine and inspection. After the successful testing, the CEO of the company shared his impression on his LinkedIn account.
“Had a fascinating visit to the POLYSTAR factory today as part of our business trip. Witnessing the advanced technology and capabilities of their plastic recycling extruder line was truly impressive. With their expertise and dedication to delivering high-quality machinery, I am confident in the strategic partnership we are building.
This collaboration will undoubtedly have a positive impact on our Saudi branch and help us continue to provide top-notch products to our customers. Exciting times ahead!”

Optimal Screen Changer Solution for the Material Condition
The film waste to be recycled is considered slightly dirtier than average in-house plastic waste. Due to the scarcity of water in the region, the recycler found investing in a washing line is infeasible for these materials. Therefore, the project requires an optimal filtration solution to keep operations smooth. Among POLYSTAR screen changer solutions, the Hydraulic Slide Type Screen Changer with Pressure Accumulator is found most optimal and applied to the recycling line.
Hydraulic slide-type screen changer with pressure accumulator
The hydraulic slide-type screen changer is equipped with a pressure accumulator that helps the filter block move faster. It is a suitable solution for slightly dirtier material that requires frequent screen changing.
The system operates similarly to the classic slide-type filters, yet provides superior advantages including:
-
Fast filter-block movement to reduce the time needed for screen changing
-
Minimum material loss during screen changing
-
The filter mesh is easier to change compared to the piston-type screen changers
-
More similar to the traditional slide type of screen changers that operators are familiar with
Being satisfied with the factory visit and the simple, user-friendly technology solutions of the POLYSTAR, the Chief Operating Officer of the renowned recycler has shared his commitment to a sustainable and circular economy as follows.
“Thrilled to have embarked on an exciting business trip to POLYSTAR Company in Taiwan. Our objective was to explore sustainable solutions and to witness the advanced technology and capabilities of their plastic extruder lines. Looking forward to strengthening our commitment towards a greener future.”
