Starlinger delivers its first bottle-to-bottle plant to Turkey

The food-grade PET recycling system will be supplied to rPET flake producer Başatlı in April 2022.

The “recoStar PET 215 iV+” will be Starlinger’s first bottle-to-bottle recycling system operating in Turkey, the company further communicates. It is equipped with one of the biggest extruder sizes that Starlinger recycling technology is currently building and produces up to 2,400 kg food-safe rPET per hour. The evaluation of the project by the European Food Safety Authority EFSA is currently underway.

“Başatlı is one of the pioneers in PET bottle-to-bottle recycling in Turkey. We are happy that they have chosen PET recycling equipment from Starlinger for their ambitious project”, says Paul Niedl, Commercial Head of Starlinger recycling technology. “With this investment, Başatlı contributes significantly to establishing a PET bottle recycling system in Turkey.”

Founded in 1953, family-owned Başatlı Boru Profil San.Tic.A.Ş. is a producer of industrial steel pipes, hollow sections and sheets located in Kocaeli Province. The company entered the PET recycling market in 2019 and produces PET flakes from bottles and post-consumer waste. The rPET flakes are used in non-food PET packaging, fibers and strapping production. The food-grade rPET pellets processed with Starlinger’s FDA, EFSA and brand owner-approved recycling equipment will be supplied to the bottle-to-bottle industry for preform production.
