HDPE Plastic
Recycling

HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) has a plastic recycling code of 2 and is often used in the manufacture of bottles – particularly for milk and fruit juice. It is also popularly used for pipes, cans, crates, wheelie bins and other plastic objects that may spend some time outside. It is a tough, hard-wearing plastic with high tensile strength that resists tearing or bursting – this is why you can even find HDPE used in wood-effect decking. It is valued for its utility in injection moulding and its light weight – products made from HDPE are often lighter and therefore cheaper and easier to transport. Its non-corrosive properties mean that detergents and household cleaning chemicals are often bottled in HDPE plastic. We offer a full range of HDPE recycling, buying and selling options – whether you’re looking to form a complete closed loop plastic recycling solution for your business or generate value from your HDPE scrap.
