HDPE(High Density Poly Ethylene) is a very common raw material for plastic products. Thanks to its high density, high strength, impact resistance, and high temperature resistance, HDPE is used in various plastic shopping bags, pallets, pipe, containers, cutting boards, wear plates and many more. HDPE can be seen everywhere and recycling is simple, it is accepted by most recycling centers in the world.
HDPE Product Recycling Rrocess
- Sorting and cleaning HDPE products: removing other wastes and impurities in HDPE can reduce the pressure of subsequent processing, reduce risks and improve recycling efficiency.
- Shredding: use an industrial-grade double-shaft shredder to shred the HDPE to 10-20 cm, then use a single-shaft shredder reduce the shredded material to about 5 cm.
- For materials containing PE, PV and other plastics, they must be sorted again. Through flotation, color sorting and other processes, different plastics are classified into categories for subsequent processing.
- Re-formed into plastic pellets: The shredded plastic is melted at high temperature and then cooled to make recycled HDPE pellets for sale.
Benefits of Recycling HDPE
- Environmentally friendly, HDPE is not biodegradable, discarding it everywhere causes huge pollution.
- With huge economic benefits, the price of R-HDPE continues to rise, and investors have obtained more economic returns than ever before.
