Description
Recycled PE (recycled polyethylene) is a plastic obtained by recovering and reprocessing post-consumer or post-industrial polyethylene waste.
Properties and features
Recycled PE retains a high capacity for reworking, which means it can be easily molded, extruded or blown to make a variety of products. This makes it versatile and suitable for a wide range of production processes.
Recycled PE has good resilience, being able to absorb impacts without breaking, even at low temperatures. This property is particularly useful for products subjected to harsh conditions or frequent handling.
Recycled PE can retain a certain translucency, allowing light to pass through without being totally transparent.
