Date: 28/03/2018
Plast India 2018 saw a record number of visitors with great emphasis on recycling.
POLYSTAR, one of the leading manufacturers of recycling machine had an excellent area coverage of over 150 square meter with two recycling machines on display: Repro-One and Repro-Air.
Indian Recycling Market
India is one of the largest raffia producers in the world and therefore has a large demand for raffia recycling. 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.
Repro-One: Shredder-Integrated Recycling Machine
Repro-Air: Air-Cooled Recycling Machine
Conclusion
India has been one of the most important markets for POLYSTAR and has shown tremendous growth in the past three years. More than 40 installations have been carried out for both post-industrial and post-consumer applications in the raffia film, nonwoven and plastic sectors.
Plastindia was an excellent platform to meet prospective and existing customers and showcase the latest technology in recycling. We foresee even higher growth and requirement of good quality recycling machines in the region in the coming years. POLYSTAR has a great future ahead in the Indian market with further growth in the per capita consumption of plastics and especially due to the requirement of excellent quality recycling machines which save electricity, manpower and running costs while producing the best-in-class recycled pellets. Most importantly, the machine is extremely simple to use, has a low maintenance requirement, easy change of consumable spare parts, which brings high values to the users.
