BKL-MACHINE (Suzhou Beakeland Machinery Co., Ltd.) will exhibit at Plastics & Rubber Indonesia 2026 at Booth 4405, held 17–20 November 2026 at Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran. This page sets out why we are going, and what a visitor planning a recycling line should have worked out before walking onto the stand.
Why Indonesia Is Building Recycling Capacity Now
The demand is policy-driven, and the policy is specific enough to be worth reading rather than paraphrasing. Under Presidential Regulation No. 83 of 2018 on Marine Debris Management, the Government of Indonesia adopted a National Action Plan running from 2018 to 2025 with a headline commitment to reduce marine plastic debris by 70%.
What makes it consequential for equipment buyers is the machinery behind it rather than the headline. UNEP’s Plastic Pollution Policy Country Profile for Indonesia records that the regulation involves 18 ministries alongside local governments, private sector and NGOs, with a planned budget in the order of USD 1 billion, and that the plan is tied to urban collection targets on land rather than to coastal clean-up alone. The same profile reports progress of 15.3% against the target as at the 2021 national reporting round.
Two things follow from that for anyone sizing a plant. First, the target is attached to land-side collection, which is where feedstock for a recycling line actually comes from. Second, a gap of that size between commitment and reported progress is, in processing terms, unbuilt capacity. That is the market a line installed now is being sold into.
We are not going to put a market-size number on it. We do not have one we can source, and an invented figure would be worth less than none.
What the Policy Picture Means at Plant Level
A collection-driven waste stream behaves differently from a factory-scrap stream, and the difference lands squarely on the front end of the line. Material arrives mixed in polymer, mixed in form, and carrying field contamination rather than clean production offcuts.
In practice the incoming material sorts into three routes that do not share equipment:
| Stream | What it usually is | What the line needs that the others do not |
|---|---|---|
| Film and woven sacks | Agricultural film, industrial liner, PP sacking | Mechanical squeezing or a thermal drying stage; film holds water that a centrifuge alone will not remove |
| Rigid containers | HDPE drums, crates, pipe, houseware scrap | A shredder ahead of the crusher, because bulky items cannot be fed whole |
| PET bottles | Post-consumer beverage bottles | Label and closure separation, plus hot washing to lift adhesive that cold water leaves behind |
Where the three streams get combined into one line, the usual result is a plant that runs all three badly. Sorting the material question before the equipment question is the single most useful thing a buyer can do before the show. Our stream-by-stream guides cover LDPE film, PP woven bags and PET bottles in detail.
There is a second decision that costs more to get wrong: whether to stop at washed flake or go through to pellet. Pelletizing is the most energy-intensive stage in the plant. If there is a local compounder or moulder buying clean flake, stopping short of the extruder removes that load entirely. If there is not, the flake has nowhere to go and the pelletizer is not optional. This is a question about the local buyer network, not about the equipment, and it is worth answering before specifying anything.
What We Showcase at Booth 4405
Our range covers the complete route from bulky waste to saleable granule. Each family below links to the full specification set:
- Single-shaft, twin-shaft and swing-arm shredders and crushers for film, bottles and rigid plastic scrap
- Complete washing lines configured separately for post-consumer PE and PP film, and for PET bottles
- Single-screw and compactor-fed pelletizing systems for recycled granule production
- Auxiliary equipment — friction washers, sink-float separation tanks, centrifugal dryers, squeezers, screen changers and dust removal
- Turnkey plant layout for small, medium and large-scale operations, sized against available feedstock rather than against a nominal tonnage
Our engineers will be on the stand for the full four days. The most productive conversations are the ones where a visitor brings material photographs and an estimate of monthly volume — enough for us to sketch a layout on the spot instead of handing over a brochure. Where the numbers behind a plant budget are concerned, our guide to what adds up in plastic recycling plant cost is a reasonable place to start beforehand, and how to start a plastic recycling business covers the sequence of decisions in order.

Before You Visit
If you are planning a line for the Indonesian market, the three facts worth settling before November are the ones that determine everything else: what polymer and physical form your material arrives in, how contaminated it is, and whether your local buyer takes flake or requires pellet. Bring those and a stand visit becomes a specification session.
Send us the material details ahead of the show and we will have a layout ready when you arrive. General background on how a complete line is assembled is on our plastic recycling machine hub.
