Recycled HDPE Production Cost Analysis 2020

In texture, recycled HDPE has a lack of branching, and thus, it is lightweight, with high tensile strength. As there is no branching, the structure is more tightly packed, making recycled HDPE a linear polymer. The branching can be controlled and lowered by using specific catalysts during its preparation.

Recycled HDPE has many beneficial properties that make it crucial in the production of distinct products. It has a comparatively higher density as compared to other polymers. It has a specific gravity of 0.95. Recycled HDPE is relatively tough as well as resistant to impact and can be subjected to temperatures of up to 120 °C without being affected. In appearance, Recycled HDPE is recognized by its opaque or translucent appearance. These durable properties make it perfect for heavy-duty containers, and recycled HDPE is mainly utilised for milk containers, as well as Tupperware, shampoo bottles, bleach bottles, or motor oil bottles. 

Recycled HDPE does not absorb liquid readily, making it an excellent barrier material for liquid containers. In fact, almost one-third or around 8 million tons of HDPE prepared worldwide are utilised for these vessels or containers. It is a highly resistant material to numerous chemical compounds; hence it finds widespread use in healthcare or laboratory environments. It is resistant to multiple acids, alcohols, aldehydes, esters, bases, and oils. Recycled HDPE is also preferred by manufacturers due to its cost-effectivity over virgin HDPE.

Procurement Resource provides an in-depth cost analysis of Recycled HDPE production. The report incorporates the manufacturing process with detailed process and material flow, capital investment, operating costs along with financial expenses and depreciation charges. The study is based on the latest prices and other economic data available. We also offer additional analysis of the report with detailed breakdown of all cost components (Capital Investment Details, Production Cost Details, Economics for another Plant Location, Dynamic Cost Model).
