Circo® Recycled HDPE
Circo® HDPE series materials are a sustainable choice for High-Density Polyethylene applications. The materials are manufactured with a state-of-the-art process at our plastics refinery from local, separately collected consumer plastic packaging waste (PCR). The materials are safe to use, and the climate change impact is less than half that of common virgin materials.
Extrusion grades of Circo HDPE series are recommended for blown moulding pieces, pipes, profiles, sheets and thermoforming. Circo HDPE materials have an MFI of 1.5g/10min, and they can be processed with a wide process window and are also suitable for high throughput demand. Circo® HDPE-1001 Light Grey is developed for bottle applications. It has improved melt strength and stability, is suitable for thin-walled applications, e.g., coex applications with decreased gel formation. There is smaller weight variation in the final product.
