23.01.2022 HDPE Bottles Here I am again sitting with some HDPE Bottles on regular Inspection, so what is HDPE?? HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) has a plastic recycling code of 2 and is often used in the manufacture of bottles particularly for milk and fruit juice. It is also popularly used for pipes, cans, crates, wheelie bins and other plastic objects that may spend some time outside. It is a tough, hard-wearing plastic with high tensile strength that resists tearing or burs...ting this is why you can even find HDPE used in wood-effect decking.
