Welcome to EcoStar. This report provides an overview of how post-consumer PET bottles can be recycled into food grade resin.

The process starts with the arrival of incoming bales of PET bottles. The bales of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) are clamped by a forklift operator onto an incline conveyor to singulate the bottles. The conveyor can hold up to ten bales at a time.
