Recyled HDPE Granules
SWANPOLY Eco Tech is a leading manufacturer of premium Recycled HDPE Granules. Our GRS-certified pellets are produced from post-consumer waste, offering a sustainable and high-performance raw material solution for various industries
What Are Recycled HDPE Granules?
Recycled HDPE Granules are uniform, high-purity plastic pellets reprocessed from post-consumer or post-industrial High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) waste—such as milk jugs, shampoo bottles, and pipes. They undergo systematic collection, sorting, washing, melting, filtering, and pelletizing.
Chemically, they remain HDPE, but their origin and some properties differ from virgin material:
| Aspect | Recycled HDPE Granules | Virgin HDPE Granules |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Processed HDPE waste. | Polymerized from petroleum-derived ethylene. |
| Key Advantage | Eco-friendly & sustainable, reduces carbon footprint and waste; often more cost-effective. | High purity & consistency, typically natural off-white, with optimal mechanical properties. |
| Performance | Properties depend on feedstock quality and processing; color options may be limited (e.g., black, gray); mechanical strength/toughness may be slightly lower. | Excellent, stable performance; available in various grades (high-rigidity to high-impact); colors are customizable. |
| Common Certification | GRS (Global Recycled Standard) for verifying recycled content and sustainable practices. | Standards like FDA food contact approvals for high-purity requirements. |
