Crucial Factors for a Complete Circular Economy
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.
Start Your CPP Film Recycling Right Away with POLYSTAR
Cast polypropylene, also known as CPP, is well known for its versatility. CPP is gaining popularity as a more appealing packaging material than polyethylene in many areas because it has higher clarity and better heat resistance. The qualities of the CPP film can be customized to fit specific packaging, performance, and processing needs...
POLYSTAR: How to Use Recycled Pellets in the Production Process - Post-consumer Waste
Plastic pellets are small granulates, used in Blown Film Machines, Injection Machines, Molding Machines, and other machines that produce plastic films, bottles, containers, bags, and more. These small pieces of material are the most important...
POLYSTAR: What is the Difference between Post-industrial Recycling and Post-consumer Recycling?
When it comes to plastic recycling, there are a few things you should know before deciding on the right machines. There are two types of plastic recycling in general, Post-industrial recycling and Post-consumer recycling. In this article, I will explain the difference between recycling these two types of plastic waste.
POLYSTAR: Recycled Plastic Pellets from PP Raffia and Woven Production – Tips to Reuse them Better
Which recycled plastic pellets should go back to PP tape extrusion line? On average, a 5-10% production waste is generated during the PP woven bag making process at different stages of the production: extruder start-up lumps, waste due to blockage in extruder die head, tape winding, circular loom (weaving defects), coating/lamination stage, pp woven/FIBC bag conversion and printing.
Recycling- Bigger Pelletizing Extruders in High Demand
With the growing importance of recycled-based products for both rigid and flexible packaging, the demand for plastic recycling continues to increase worldwide. Recyclers are now buying multiple machines at the same time and more notably, larger-capacity machines.
POLYSTAR: Does your Factory have the Right Solution for Recycling your Materials?
Producers understand the relevance of recycling the plastic waste created by their facilities. The shortage of resins drove plastic producers to respond faster and take action to recycle their factory waste, and thus to explore innovative ways to recycle post-consumer waste.
Plastic Recycling Continues to Grow Worldwide
The packaging film sector (stretch film, CPP film and etc.) and plastic bag producers are required to use a much higher percentage of recycled pellets in the end products. For better quality control and to maximize the reusability back into the film extrusion lines, more producers have decided to recycle all the production waste internally instead of outsourcing it.
One-step Recycling for Raffia and Woven Producers
In general, 8% of production waste is generated during the process (from tape line production, looming and printing). The price of raw material is almost doubled comparing to the cost of having it recycled in-house. It would make sense for medium and large-sized Indian producers (who generate more than 30~40 tones of scraps per month or more) to recycle the production waste internally to reduce production cost.
Recycling Machine Sales Doubled for POLYSTAR in 2021
New regulations in many countries now require producers to use a higher percentage of recycled content in flexible and rigid packaging products. Instability of raw material prices and supplies also forces plastic producers to better recycle their own production waste. The growing demand for plastic recycling directly reflects the machine sales for POLYSTAR.
POLYSTAR: Film Extruder with Twin Head – Efficient For Bag Production?
Compared to extruders with single die heads, the double-die extruders can achieve higher production capacity when producing film rolls that are small in width, as the high extrusion output is dispersed into two separate channels of the die heads instead of one.
POLYSTAR - How to Obtain Excellent Quality Plastic Films for Lamination?
Laminated film is an excellent application for packaging food like coffee, snacks, cookies, nuts (peanuts, pistachio, almonds), and others. It is ideal for packaging because laminated films have protection from humidity, oxygen, aromas, fats, and light. All these factors decompose or reduce the lifetime of the packaged product. For this reason, the protective barrier is the most important element in the laminated film, which is composed of PE (LDPE), BOPP, PET, and others.
