By GlobalDataThe Pennsylvania facility is the third for CarbonLITE to use Starlinger recycling lines besides the Riverside and Dallas locations.
CarbonLITE will use the new lines for its full line of PET material streams, including clear PET flakes, coloured flakes, and recycling of PET fines.
Starlinger recycling technology commercial head Paul Niedl said: “With the first two installations in California and Texas, we have earned CarbonLITE’s trust in our technology.”
CarbonLITE will also commence full production at the Pennsylvania plant in early 2020, which is expected to convert more than two billion post-consumer rPET bottles and will annually increase the total number of bottles recycled by the company by up to six billion.
CarbonLITE assists major beverage producers by offering recycled material to their bottling facilities and supports them in lowering their carbon footprint.
