Redco GreenStar
Keeping Operations Moving
Recycling plants across the country rely heavily on black rubber stars to move and process recyclable materials. These rubber stars wear down incredibly fast due to continuous collisions, corrosion and impact from the materials, forcing operators to undergo costly maintenance to remove and replace these parts.
Introducing the Redco™ GreenStar™ – an innovative solution to minimize downtime and significantly reduce maintenance on your screen decks. Manufactured with an innovative polyurethane formula, Redco™ GreenStar™ outshine traditional materials by lasting up to 3x longer than the black rubber stars.

Highly Resistant
Enhanced resistances to impacts, wear, and heat.

Redco™ GreenStar™ Case Studies
» Waste Management
As one of Washington’s largest trash and recycling companies, Waste Management (WM) sort through thousands of recycled materials in their Woodinville plant each day. WM used recycling stars to sort and move materials, but like other recyclers, their stars were wearing out in a few months, leading to costly maintenance and replacement fees.
WM reached out to see if Redwood could help. We performed a trial with WM to see if our GreenStar™ Recycling Disks prove to last far longer than their black rubber stars. They did and now the GreenStar™ are now fully in circulation across their facility.
“I was amazed at the lifespan of these green disks vs the normal black rubber stars, the durability was really good.”
Lee Gronemyer, MRF Maintenance Manager
» Urban Impact
Urban Impact is one of the biggest recycling centres in Vancouver, BC. Like all recycling plants, Urban Impact relied on recycling stars to move materials from one conveyor to the other. Urban Impact inquired for a more durable recycling star to help prevent costly maintenance every few months. Redwood’s team of experts worked with Urban Impact extensively over the span of a few years, developing and testing new polyurethane grades until we managed to find one that works. Tested and proven, these stars lasted twice as long as their old stars.
“Those green disks lasted way longer than I thought, the part that really impressed me was how they helped my material flow over the screen deck.”
