\n\t\tHDPE Recycling\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

Polyethylene (PE) is a thermoplastic; due to its lightweight, durable, chemical resistant structure it is one of the most popular choices used of plastic in manufacturing. PE is highly versatile due to the variety of densities that it is available in, giving the material a wide spectrum of different functionalities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBuy HDPE ⟶\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSell HDPE ⟶\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t

\n\t\tHDPE Recycling\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is the form of polyethylene in which the molecular structure is of increased density. The high tensile strength and resistance to low temperatures, among other properties, mean this polymer has a great number of different applications. This material can enter the waste stream as milk bottles, shopping bags, cereal box liners, toys, chemical containers, and piping, among many other possible product options. Once these goods have been disposed of, they will be gathered and prepared for recycling by a waste management company. From here the scrap material will be sent to a company such as Pakire Polymers that specialises in recycling and repurposing plastic waste. The recycler will segregate, clean, shred and then melt the plastic for it to form new plastic pellets fit for manufacturing. Pakire Polymers uses EREMA pellet technology, which is unparalleled in the industry, to produce the highest quality of recycled plastic pellet available. These pellets are then ready to be sold to manufacturers so they can be made into new products and given a new lease on life.<\/p>\n

A triangle with the number 2 will often appear on products that have been manufactured using high-density polyethylene. This is the American Society for Testing and Materials\u2019 (ASTM) Resin Identification Code (RIC) number that is given to HDPE. It is important to ensure that plastics are separated out into their individual groups as much as possible when recycling, as a mixing of polymers can risk the recyclability of the material. The RIC gives a different number to different polymers to make it easier to identify the specific type of plastic being handled and increase the efficiency, as well as maximising the output, of the plastic recycling process.<\/p>\n
