HDPE Recycle
There are many reasons for a business to choose an HDPE recycle service to dispose of their waste, as opposed to disposing of it by incineration or landfill. The environmental benefits of this alone are numerous, such as reducing carbon emissions, minimising waste, preventing pollution and moving towards a circular economic business mode. As well as all of these, recyclers will actually pay businesses for their waste materials, unlike landfill and incineration sites who charge fees.
Despite the financial and environmental incentives there for businesses to use an HDPE recycle service for their scrap materials, many of them still currently choose to pay for landfill or incineration. This is sometimes due to a simple lack of knowledge about their options for recycling, but more often it is due to the excessive amounts of red tape involved. There are many compliance and logistical issues that arise when sending plastic waste for recycling, and many businesses would rather pay for the convenience of incineration or landfill than deal with them all.
However, with the entrance of WasteTrade into the industry, these issues no longer need prevent anyone from benefitting from HDPE recycle solutions for their plastic scrap. WasteTrade handles all logistics and compliance on behalf of the buyer and seller to remove these obstacles from the recycling process.
HDPE Plastic Recycling
The exact process of HDPE plastic recycling can vary, but the general stages involved remain the same in whichever method is being employed. The first step in HDPE plastic recycling is to separate out all non-HDPE substances from the HDPE, to ensure there are no contaminants present that would compromise the quality of the finished recycled product.
The next step in the HDPE plastic recycling process is to separate the HDPE materials into grades, as HDPE can vary in durability and thickness. Once separated, the HDPE will be thoroughly cleaned to remove any residual contaminants, such as dirt or liquid. Once cleaned, the HDPE will be homogenised to guarantee that no other polymers are present.
The final step in the HDPE plastic recycling process is to then shred the HDPE, melt it down, and then shape and cool it into recycled plastic pellet ready to go back into manufacturing.

Frequently asked questions
High-Density Polyethylene, or HDPE, is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene. Ethylene is polymerised to create Polyethylene; HDPE is one of the five categories the different types of Polyethylene can be grouped into.
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is strong, lightweight, weather resistant, impact resistant and malleable, meaning it is highly versatile. HDPE has a wide range of applications, such as: Piping, automotive parts, toys, flower pots, storage bins, recycling bins, crates, rope, gardening tools, garden furniture, cereal box liners, milk bottles and more.
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a very safe plastic. HDPE is frequently used to make food containers as the material is completely food-safe; another safety feature of this plastic is that it is shatter resistant. Also, given that HDPE is widely recyclable, it is one of the most environmentally friendly polymers - provided it is disposed of properly.
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a highly versatile material that is a popular choice for construction applications. This is because the material is waterproof, weather resistant, impact resistant and UV resistant. The properties of High-Density Polyethylene mean it is frequently used in waterproofing building foundations.
High-Density Polyethylene (High-Density Polyethylene) is an inexpensive material to manufacture; this is especially true due to the fact that the material is widely recyclable, meaning the material can serve many different functions during its lifecycle.
