Indonesia - Recycling for Leading PE/PP Plastic Bag Producers
In Indonesia (Solo, Magelang, and Jakarta), POLYSTAR has been working very closely with the leading PE and PP bag producers for their in-house recycling requirements. In total of 7 POLYSTAR plastic recycling lines have been installed in three of the largest HDPE and PP film/bag manufacturers in Indonesia. The top three bag producers who sell most of their products to the domestic market, combine for a monthly production of over 8,500 tonnes. The seven POLYSTAR machines are now processing nearly 1,000 tonnes of post-industrial waste per month.
"We fell in love with the compact design of the POLYSTAR line at first sight. The machine looked robust and the design was simple and user-friendly. High and stable output and superior pellet quality are the reason why we've continued to work with POLYSTAR."
Mr. Hendrix, Production Manager
Solo’s largest HDPE film producer has purchased its second POLYSTAR in 2016 after having worked with the first one since 2014.
"The POLYSTAR plastic pelletizers are extremely easy to operate, which is ideal for our workers to process all the in-house waste. The output of the machines is incredibly high and stable and we’ve already been running the machines for years."
Mr. Pandhika, Manager
The renowned T-shirt and garbage bag maker, located in Jakarta, is now equipped with 2 sets of POLYSTAR HNT-120V plastic pelletizers. Known for its premium quality of plastic bag products in the market, the Indonesia-based producer has been using high-quality recycled pellets processed by POLYSTAR machines back into film extrusion lines and continues to produce one of the best quality films in Jakarta.
Sharing his decision-making process on the first machine back in 2012, Mr. Pandhika had considered several European and Taiwanese recycling machine suppliers before upgrading two of his existing recycling machines to reprocess his post-industrial waste as well as some of the industrial waste collected from outside. After having visited all of the machine suppliers’ factories and seeing some of the trial runs, the decision was easy to make.
"Myself, my managing director, and my factory manager decided right away that the obvious choice was POLYSTAR. The machine’s compact design, finishing and details were really impressive."
Mr. Pandhika, Manager
Mr. Pandhika has been running the plastic business for 20 years working with many different types of machines including recycling lines. The second POLYSTAR was installed in 2013 as the business continues to expand for the Jakarta-based plastic bag producer.
"After we’ve installed the first machine for less than two months, we already felt 100% confident to add the second POLYSTAR knowing that we’ve made the right decision on the first one. The advantage is clear: Besides a significantly higher output, the pellets' quality is much better in terms of shape, color, and reusability as there is less material degradation and the quality is close to that of virgin raw material.
The plastic film (extruded by blown film machines) that we produce from the recycled pellets has a better strength when compared to pellets coming from other recycling machines processing the exact same material."
Mr. Pandhika, Manager
