sponsoredPolystar Solutions for the circular economy

Founded in 1988, Polystar's portfolio includes machines for bag making, blown film production, and especially plastic recycling machines. Under the slogan "Recycling Made Simple," the company offers solutions that help recycle plastics and keep them circulating in the circular economy.

The plastic recycling machines are available for a wide variety of applications – including films, fibers, and hard plastic materials. They are offered as stand-alone solutions as well as turnkey systems integrated into lines that can be equipped with shredders, degassing modules, regranulation units, and many other options depending on requirements. This gives developers a broad range of possibilities to tailor the machines precisely to the needs of the user.

"We have our machines in operation with users in more than 110 countries worldwide," explains David Lo, CMO of the company based in Tainan. "Many companies in Germany and the rest of Europe also rely on the reliability and performance of our machines."

The topic of recycling will remain

The company's strategy is very long-term oriented. "We see significant differences in how companies approach current market developments," Lo reflects thoughtfully. "But despite all the challenges companies have to overcome – the changes brought about by the globalized market are also a driver of innovation and new solutions, especially with regard to the circular economy. That’s why we are proactively working towards the positive development of recycling markets. The topic of recycling will remain – it is an ongoing challenge for the future!"

The motto "Recycling Made Simple" also means for those responsible at Polystar that recycling machines become easier to operate. "The goal is to make recycling more attractive through a higher degree of automation and thus ensure that energy consumption in recycling machines decreases and, above all, the proportion of reused materials continues to grow," explains Lo. "The market is on a good path with post-industrial materials. We also offer powerful solutions for the post-consumer market – highly integrated turnkey systems that are precisely tailored to each application and can deliver high-quality materials."

Efficient solutions for a wide range of applications

Polystar has the capacity to develop and manufacture precise and high-performance solutions. The developers can draw on a wealth of experience based on numerous successful projects.

The applications are very diverse. Polystar, for example, offers machines for recycling PE/PP plastic films – including heavily printed ones – from various plastic applications, as well as solutions for reprocessing metallized and printed BOPP films, such as from packaging and labeling applications. Polystar developers can also provide practical and efficient solutions for recycling PE/PP pipes, plastic regrind, thermoformed materials such as packaging, trays, containers or cups, laminated films, or drip tapes.

In partnership for the optimal recycling solution

Likewise, for recycling post-consumer plastics, used shrink films, PP raffia and woven fabrics from sacks, bags, packaging, coverings, or even furniture. Polystar's experts can also handle the processing of stretch films, foam materials, nonwoven fabrics, and industrial waste from plastic manufacturing processes with their machine portfolio. "We see ourselves as partners to our users," promises Lo. "And we develop user-friendly, economical solutions that empower our users and advance the circular economy."
