Turning used bottle flakes into food-grade recycled pellets for new bottles – closed packaging loops are a powerful tool to reduce the carbon footprint of plastic packaging and fight climate change.
Leader in woven packaging production machinery


Woven plastic packaging is without doubt one of the most sustainable packaging solutions worldwide.
And much sought after – global demand is increasing by 4 % each year – more than for any other type of industrial packaging.
Starlinger supplies all machines for the production of a wide range of woven sacks made of polypropylene and PET – even from recycled material. This is a first step towards a circular economy.
With our "Circular Packaging" concept for woven plastic packaging we offer a closed product loop and contribute to an efficient and resource-conserving use of plastics.
Starlinger is the world’s only A to Z supplier of complete turnkey plants for the production of circular woven plastic sacks.
These sacks are used mainly for packaging bulk goods such as food grains, sugar, flour, animal feed, fertilizer and cement, but also for FIBCs, fabric for carpet backing, or geo-textiles. Innovative packaging product developments by Starlinger are the worldwide patented AD*STAR® block bottom valve sack for cement and bulk goods, as well as the PP*STAR® pinch bottom sack for end consumer applications.
The latest innovation is the development of polyester tape fabric for heavy-duty applications such as FIBCs. PET tapes stand out for their high tenacity and high creep modulus as well as low thermal shrinkage, providing fabric and articles produced out of it with exceptionally high strength and long-term form stability.
The Starlinger product range covers all types of machinery for the production of modern woven polypropylene sacks.
