HDPE scrap is one of the most demanded recycling materials, commonly sourced from detergent bottles, chemical containers, jerry cans, drums, and post-production HDPE waste. Collection typically happens through government waste streams, private scrap collectors, and factories selling clean HDPE off-cuts and rejected production.
After collection, HDPE scrap is baled or packed for efficient handling and transport. At recycling yards across Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and other Emirates, material is carefully sorted by grade, color, and type. Labels, caps, mixed plastics, and contaminants are removed to improve purity and consistency.
The sorted HDPE is then crushed into flakes. Some buyers request unwashed flakes to handle washing according to their own production specs and cost structure, while others prefer washed material for faster processing. HDPE flakes can be converted into regrind and granules used for manufacturing pipes, crates, non-food packaging, industrial containers, and molded products. Choosing reliable HDPE scrap partners ensures stable quality and dependable supply.
