Understanding High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
HDPE stands out as a robust and highly versatile thermoplastic. It's prized for its high strength-to-density ratio, making it strong yet relatively lightweight, along with excellent impact resistance, stiffness, and resistance to many chemicals. These properties make it the material of choice for countless durable goods. Common applications include blow-moulded items like milk jugs, detergent and shampoo bottles, chemical drums, and fuel tanks. Injection-moulded HDPE is used extensively for items needing toughness, such as bottle caps, crates, wheelie bins, pallets, and children's toys. Furthermore, extruded HDPE is the standard for pipes carrying water, gas, and drainage, as well as geomembranes and profiles.
What Forms of HDPE Scrap Do We Purchase?
Greenview purchases a wide variety of clean, well-segregated streams of post-industrial and post-consumer HDPE scrap, including:
- HDPE Blow Moulding Scrap: Primarily baled bottles. Natural HDPE (e.g., milk bottles) typically commands the highest value due to its versatility in recycling. Mixed colour bottles (e.g., detergent, shampoo) are also purchased but often require colour sorting downstream. Consistent baling is key.
- HDPE Injection Moulding Scrap: Includes items like crates, bins, and pallets, often supplied baled or shredded for easier handling. Bottle caps are another common source. Regrind from moulding processes is also sought after. Colour segregation (e.g., segregating black from coloured crates) can enhance value.
- HDPE Pipe Scrap: Clean offcuts from pipe installation or manufacturing processes, as well as redundant pipes. Usually supplied shredded or granulated due to its rigidity and bulk. Black HDPE pipe is a common grade.
- HDPE Drums & IBCs: Redundant or damaged large containers. Crucially, these must be certified triple rinsed and free from any hazardous residues. Often supplied shredded or cut and baled.
- HDPE Sheet Scrap: Clean offcuts generated during fabrication or extrusion processes.
- HDPE Purgings/Lumps: Dense waste blocks resulting from extruder start-up/shutdown or material changes.
