High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), is widely used to manufacture bottles - especially for milk and fruit juice - as well as pipes, cans, crates, wheelie bins, and other outdoor plastic products. Known for its toughness, high tensile strength, and resistance to tearing or bursting, HDPE is even used in wood-effect decking.
It's light weight makes products easier and cheaper to transport, while its non-corrosive nature suits packaging for detergents and household cleaning chemicals. HDPE is also valued in injection moulding, where durability and versatility are key.
