STELLA proceed soft plastic without themal dissolution by compressing into pellets. Pretreatment such as crushed or shedded into small peices might be required for bulky plastic refuse, depending on the shape before precessing by STELLA.  Since it does not involve a thermally melting process, it increases recycling efficiency without cooling/drying process . Therefore STELLA uses less power in operation and emitting less odor compared with conventional thermal dissolution processing system.

STELLA processes plastic materials without degrading moleculars. Pellets formed by STELLA maintain high quality, highly valued for recycling material.    since the process does not involve the thermal degradation of molecules. It can make it possible for in-house recycling such as  remnants or shavings generated in manufacturing plastic products to be reused instead of being wasted to realise a production loop. Waste plastic with high combustion calories can also be used as Auxiliary fuel to supply heat in the manufacturing process.

STELLA significantly reduces the storage space and transportation cost of waste plastic, which has been a great burden after use.  Once being processed into pellets, waste plastic is turned into valueable resouces. In-house material or thermal recycling ensures to achiive “zero waste emission” by optimal reuse at sites whrere waste plastic being generated.

By efficiently reusing waste plastic in-house, STELLA ensures significantly to reduce CO2 emissions involved in waste transportation. By minimizing ecological & carbon footprints, it contributes to the sustainable development of recycling plastic materials.

廃プラスチックは石炭や石油と比べても同等の高い発熱量があります。ステラで処理された樹脂ペレットは、e-PEL（イーペレ）と呼び、PS樹脂100％です。RPFや木質ペレットにより高い発熱量があり、灯油やA重油と同等の安定したエネルギー源となります。
