High-density (HDPE)
HDPE is typically found in milk jugs, plastic bags and refillable plastic bottles.
In addition to plastic lumber and recycled plastic furniture, recycled HDPE is used to manufacture lawn and garden products, buckets, crates, office products and automobile parts.
HDPE plastic has several properties that make it ideal as a packaging and manufacturing product.
It’s stronger than standard polyethylene, acts as an effective barrier against moisture and remains solid at room temperature.
It resists insects, rot and other chemicals. It is easily recyclable and can be used again and again. Recycled HDPE creates no harmful emissions during its production or during its use by the consumer. Also, HDPE leaks no toxic chemicals into the soil or water.
