Starlinger PET bottle-to-bottle recycling line to be set up in Thailand

EcoBlue Ltd., Thailand’s first bottle-to-bottle recycler, has invested US$25 million to set up a new recycling facility for PET and polyolefin. A new Starlinger PET bottle-to-bottle recycling line is going to be part of the expansion.

Starlinger’s recoSTAR PET 215 iV+ bottle-to-bottle recycling system is delivered to EcoBlue’s production site in Rayong Province, Thailand, in July 2021 and within the following weeks will be assembled by the local Starlinger technician with remote support from Starlinger’s headquarters in Austria. The line reaches an output of 2,500 kg per hour, equaling a total production capacity of about 20,000 tons of bottle-grade rPET per year.

“In anticipation of the increased commitment of organizations towards sustainability, EcoBlue has invested in setting up a new world-class recycling facility with the very best technologies for PET and polyolefin recycling. By having Starlinger as a technology partner, we will ensure that we are able to provide consistent and high-quality bottle-grade rPET to our customers,” said Pranay Jain, founder and Managing Director of EcoBlue Ltd.

EcoBlue is Thailand’s first recycling company to receive the Letter of No-Objection (LNO) by the US FDA for its “3D Pure” rPET for use in food-contact applications. The Starlinger technology will enable EcoBlue to provide superior quality rPET resin for bottle applications. EcoBlue’s “3D Pure” rPET can be traced back to 100 % Post-Consumer PET waste material through its Global Recycled Standard Certification process.

“We aim to work towards a circularity of resources by diverting post-consumer and post-industrial waste materials from landfills to the recycling stream”, explained Pranay Jain. EcoBlue was founded in 2013 and has developed unique capabilities to produce high-quality rPET, rPP and rHDPE from post-consumer and industrial waste, providing a sustainable substitute to virgin resin.

“We sold the first PET recycling line with these extruder dimensions in 2019 and have witnessed a growing demand for this capacity since then. It is currently one of the most popular extruder sizes on the market and meets the existing trend towards higher extrusion capacities perfectly,” commented Andreas Pechhacker, General Manager of Starlinger recycling technology.
