Recycled HDPE

HDPE is the workhorse of post-industrial polymer recycling: high volume, well understood, and with deep outlets in both directions. We buy production scrap and supply recycled grades, which means we can usually price both sides of the same conversation.

Forms
Pellet, regrind, baled, loose
Colours
Natural, black, mixed, jazz; all considered
MFI
All indices; blow, injection and extrusion grades
Typical volume
Full loads; trial quantities available
Documentation
TDS and sample supplied before trial
HDPE

Where it comes from

The streams we buy HDPE from. If yours is not listed, it is still worth asking.

  • 01Blow-moulding flash and reject bottles
  • 02Injection-moulding sprues, runners and reject parts
  • 03Drums, jerricans and IBC liners
  • 04Crates, trays and returnable transit packaging
  • 05Pipe off-cuts and extrusion purgings

If you already granulate on site, you are in a stronger position than you may realise.

HDPE

Where it goes

The applications we supply recycled material into, so you can see the outlet behind the price.

  • Pipe and ducting
  • Crates, trays and transit packaging
  • Non-food bottles and containers
  • Damp-proof membrane and sheet
  • Injection-moulded industrial components
Either direction

We buy and supply HDPE

If you produce it

Tell us the grade, the approximate monthly tonnage and how it presents. We price HDPE as it is, rather than as we would like it to be.

If you consume it

Traceable recycled resin as an alternative to virgin, with a technical data sheet and a physical sample before you commit to anything.

Questions

Common questions about HDPE

Do you take mixed-colour HDPE?+

Yes. Natural and single-colour material commands the best price, but mixed and jazz colours have solid outlets; the price reflects the sorting, not a refusal.

Is regrind worth more than baled material?+

Usually, yes. Regrind is a processed product rather than a processing cost, and it moves more efficiently. If you already granulate on site you are in a stronger position than you may realise.

Tell us the grade, the approximate monthly volume and whether you are buying or selling. We will come back with a technical data sheet and a sample, or a straight answer that this is not our stream.
