=== PET film and PES fibre recycling === | |||
The '''recoSTAR dynamic''' recycling line is designed for the in-house recycling of production scrap inline and offline and the perfect choice for hygroscopic and wet materials, e. g. washed post-consumer waste. | |||
PET film and PES fibres can be recycled directly at the production line in an inline process and fed back in repelletised form to the production line. '''([http://www.starlinger.com/fileadmin/user_upload/03_recycling_technology/recoSTAR_dynamic/FB_en/index.html Brochure recoSTAR dynamic])''' | |||

The '''recoSTAR universal''' recycling line allows processing of PET film, PES fibres and nonwovens without pre-cutting; only proportioning to fit conveyor belt dimensions is required. The material preparation in combination with the sophisticated software and the dosing screw allows processing of materials with different bulk densities and even of flakes without changing process parameters.

For both lines high process reliability is ensured through sophisticated line control, for example one button start/stop as well as standby mode for in-line application. Constant high pellet quality and advantageous investment costs are ensured. | |||
=== PET strapping === | |||
PET flakes are also a valuable secondary resource for strapping bands, which can be made from up to 100 % recycled PET (rPET) when processed with the Starlinger iV+ technology. | |||
PET has an important economic advantage: it can be “upcycled”. What comes out of the recycling process can be a better quality PET than what went in. In order for rPET to meet the high intrinsic viscosity (IV) required for strapping bands, it undergoes a solid state polycondensation (SSP) process. | |||
