The recoSTAR PET 215 HC iV+ features Starlinger’s biggest single extruder size, reaching an output of up to 2,700 kg of bottle-grade pellets per hour. The PET bottle-to-bottle recycling system is equipped with a pre-drying unit, high-vacuum degassing, a continuous filtration system, and an underwater pelletizer. The viscoSTAR SSP reactor installed at the end of the recycling process further increases the viscosity and level of decontamination of the produced pellets. The entire recycling process is based on the FIFO principle, ensuring uniform treatment of every single flake at the front end and each pellet at the back end for outstanding food-contact decontamination. Like all Starlinger recycling systems, the recoSTAR PET 215 HC iV+ is characterized by low energy consumption, excellent production efficiency and user-friendliness.

Starlinger PET bottle-to-bottle line for Indian Recycler Alpha Ecoplast
Mid of October 2024 Alpha Ecoplast Pvt. Ltd., a member of Alpha Group, commissioned a Starlinger recoSTAR PET 215 HC iV+ PET bottle-to-bottle recycling system in their new facility near the city of Kosamba, Gujarat State.
The rPET pellets produced on Starlinger’s recoSTAR PET recycling lines have been approved for food-contact applications by national and international authorities such as the FDA (USA) and EFSA (EU), as well as by important brand owners in the food and beverage sector. Alpha Ecoplast recycles domestically collected post-consumer PET bottles and produces bottle-grade rPET pellets as well as food-grade suitable rPET flakes which it supplies to the Indian and international markets. To meet the rapidly growing demand on the market, Alpha Ecoplast already placed an order for a second Starlinger PET bottle-to-bottle recycling system of the same size.
