Starlinger & Co. GmbH is set to highlight its innovative technologies for sustainable polypropylene tape production and food-safe plastics recycling at next week;s Chinaplas 2025. With a strong focus on efficiency and circular economy principles, Starlinger presents solutions that optimize production processes while promoting environmental sustainability.

At the forefront of Starlinger’s showcase is the starEX 1600 tape extrusion line, designed for superior efficiency and resource conservation. Capable of a maximum melting capacity of 1000 kg per hour and production speeds reaching 550 meters per minute, this system ensures high-quality PP or HDPE/LLDPE tapes for robust packaging applications, including woven PP sacks and big bags.

Starlinger’s twinTAPE+ automatic precision winder ensures seamless integration with the starEX line, providing perfect bobbin winding for enhanced weaving efficiency. Its automatic bobbin change procedure reduces manual labor, while the linear traverse system allows flexible bobbin designs. With no lubrication required, maintenance is simplified, saving operator time and reducing downtime.

Addressing the need for high-quality recycled materials in food packaging, Starlinger’s recoSTAR PET art and recoSTAR dynamic recycling systems deliver industry-leading solutions:

recoSTAR PET art enables PET bottle-to-bottle recycling with ultra-low levels of acetaldehyde and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This system meets FDA and EFSA food safety standards, making it the preferred choice for major global brands.

recoSTAR dynamic offers food-grade recycling for post-consumer HDPE packaging. Its C-VAC module’s cascade degassing system and PCUplus ozone-enhanced air flushing ensure exceptional decontamination, making it ideal for food-safe HDPE packaging such as bottles and caps.
