Rising Demand for Recycled Plastics in the GCC

The demand for recycled plastic in the GCC region is increasing due to escalating regulatory requirements and the drive to diversify economies away from oil dependence. This shift has positioned plastic manufacturing and recycling as critical industries.

The region generates substantial plastic waste, including:
Industrial production wastes
Post-consumer wastes (e.g., shopping bags, shrink films, pipes, disposable containers)

Recycling these wastes offers multiple business advantages, such as:

Reduced production costs
Lower logistics and material costs
Positive environmental impact

Recycling Services LLC: Pioneering Sustainable Solutions

Recycling Services LLC has positioned itself as a key player in the GCC's circular economy by investing in POLYSTAR's Repro-Flex 120 recycling machine.

Repro-Flex 120 Features:

User-Friendly Operation: Integrated flexible plastic pelletizer.
Versatile Processing: Suitable for film and bag scraps, irrigation tapes, and regrinds.

Successful Partnership and Future Prospects

Upon completion of the machine's manufacturing, the Recycling Services team visited POLYSTAR's factory in Taiwan for a test run. Impressed by the technology, CEO Mahmood Al-Aamri shared his positive outlook on the partnership:

"Had a fascinating visit to the POLYSTAR factory today. Witnessing the advanced technology and capabilities of their plastic recycling extruder line was truly impressive. 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!"
— Mahmood Al-Aamri, CEO of Recycling Services LLC

Optimal Filtration Solution for Dirty Plastic Waste

Given the slightly dirtier nature of the film waste and the scarcity of water in the region, an optimal filtration solution was essential. POLYSTAR's Hydraulic Slide Type Screen Changer with Pressure Accumulator was chosen for its efficiency and ease of use.

Advantages of the Hydraulic Slide-Type Screen Changer:

Fast Filter-Block Movement: Reduces screen changing time
Minimal Material Loss: During screen changes
Ease of Use: Simple to operate compared to piston-type screen changers

Commitment to a Circular Economy

The collaboration with POLYSTAR aligns with Recycling Services LLC's long-term goals of enhancing plastic recycling and promoting a sustainable future. COO Murshid Al-Aamri emphasized the company's dedication:

"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."
— Murshid Al-Aamri, COO of Recycling Services LLC

The necessity of plastic recycling is growing globally, and using recycled content in production is becoming essential. Recycling machines like POLYSTAR’s Repro-Flex 120 offer competitive advantages by being simple to use and customizable, benefiting both recyclers and manufacturers.
