HDPE Bottles are the second most commonly recycled grade of plastic in single stream municipal waste after PET Bottles. HDPE Milk Jugs and HDPE Detergent Bottles are both made from High Density Polyethylene Fractional Melt plastic. Baled material is shipped from a MRF to a facility equipped with a wash line that processes bales into washed flake and then further into reprocessed pellets. The pellets can be used in a variety of packaging and industrial applications such as drainage pipe or plastic pallets. Both grades have recently hit all-time highs in price and are in high demand right here in the United States Of America.
