Premium Recycled HDPE Granules
Recycled HDPE granules as recycled high-density polyethylene granules, are a type of recycled plastic raw material made from post-consumer or industrial waste HDPE plastics (such as milk bottles and shampoo bottles) through a rigorous processing.
Recycled HDPE granules, also known as recycled high-density polyethylene granules, are a type of recycled plastic raw material made from post-consumer or industrial waste HDPE plastics (such as milk bottles and shampoo bottles) through a rigorous processing.
Where do they come from?
Recycled HDPE granules mainly come from two categories of waste plastics:
Post-consumer recycled materials: These come from HDPE products used and discarded in daily life, such as detergent bottles, milk jugs, and cooking oil bottles. This is the primary source and has the highest environmental value.
Post-industrial recycled materials: These come from scraps and defective products generated during the HDPE product manufacturing process.
This type of material has a relatively simple composition and high cleanliness.
How to produce high quality recycled HDPE Granules or pellets?
The production of high-quality recycled pellets typically involves the following key steps:
Collection and Sorting: HDPE waste is separated from mixed waste and further classified by color and grade.
Crushing and Washing: The plastic is crushed into flakes, and labels, residues, impurities, etc., are removed through multiple processes.
Melting and Filtration: The flakes are melted into a molten material at high temperatures, and then passed through a precision filter to remove fine impurities; this is crucial for ensuring purity.
Pelletizing: The pure melt is extruded, cooled, and cut to ultimately produce uniform granular raw materials for easy transportation and processing.
The recycled HDPE Granules retains the chemical resistance, high strength, moisture resistance, and good processing properties of virgin HDPE. significantly reducing oil consumption and carbon emissions, it is a key material for the circular economy. It is typically cheaper than virgin HDPE resin, and its price fluctuates relatively little.
Recycled HDPE Granules: Application Reference Table
The table below categorizes applications based on the quality and performance of the recycled granules, from high-end Premium Grade to general Standard Grade.
| Performance Grade | Primary Applications | Key Performance Requirements | Typical Products & Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🏆 Premium / High-Purity | • Cosmetic & Personal Care Packaging • Household Chemical Bottles (detergents, cleaners) • Non-Food Contact Containers • Specialty Industrial Parts | High purity, consistent melt flow, excellent mechanical strength (impact, ESCR), good colorability, often requires certifications (e.g., GRS, FDA non-food contact). | Shampoo bottles, lotion containers, detergent jugs, bleach bottles. Often uses post-consumer (PCR) or controlled post-industrial (PIR) sources with advanced filtration. |
| ⚙️ General / Standard | • Industrial and Shipping Containers • Pipes and Conduits • Sheet & Lumber Extrusion • Daily Use Items | Good stiffness, durability, and moisture resistance. Tolerates some color variation or lower melt consistency. | Pallets, crates, bins, drainage pipes, cable conduits, plastic lumber for decking, park benches, roadside curbs. A major application market. |
| ◻️ Composite & Filled Material | • Durable Outdoor Products • Construction and Automotive Components | High stiffness, dimensional stability, often uses HDPE as a matrix blended with fillers (wood fiber, talc) or other polymers for enhanced properties. | Fencing, landscaping timbers, automotive panels, industrial flooring. Leverages HDPE's durability in composite forms. |
