High Density Polyethylene Recycling

Turn Your Waste into Revenue

HDPE recycling is a key part of sustainable waste management, and at GK Recycling, we specialise in recovering and repurposing high-density polyethylene (HDPE) materials. HDPE is a strong, durable, and versatile plastic, known for its high strength-to-density ratio, resistance to chemicals, moisture, and UV radiation. It is widely used across industries and is commonly found in everyday items, making effective recycling essential.

Common forms of HDPE we Recycle

At GK Recycling, we handle a broad range of HDPE materials, including:

HDPE bottles and containers
HDPE crates and storage boxes
HDPE bins and waste containers
HDPE pipes and tubing
HDPE pallets
HDPE sheets and offcuts

Our advanced HDPE recycling processes ensure that waste HDPE is transformed into high-quality, reusable material, helping businesses reduce environmental impact, cut waste costs, and support a more circular economy.
