High-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyethylene high-density (PEHD) is a thermoplastic polymer produced from the monomer ethylene. It is sometimes called “alkathene” or “polythene” when used for HDPE pipes. With a high strength-to-density ratio, HDPE is used in the production of plastic bottles, corrosion-resistant, piping, geomembranes and plastic lumber.
HDPE has a wide variety of applications; for applications that fall within the properties of other polymers, the choice to use HDPE is usually economic.

HDPE is a highly recyclable material that can be reprocessed and reused in new products, reducing the demand for virgin plastics and minimizing environmental impact. Its recyclability, combined with its durability and long lifespan, makes HDPE an environmentally responsible choice for packaging and other applications.
HDPE is considered one of the more environmentally friendly plastics due to its recyclability, low energy consumption during production, and minimal emissions of harmful gases. Compared to other plastics such as PVC or PET, HDPE has a lower environmental footprint and is preferred for applications where sustainability is a priority.
Emerging applications and industries such as 3D printing, medical devices, and automotive components offer opportunities for the use of HDPE due to its unique properties and versatility. Challenges include optimizing processing techniques, addressing regulatory requirements, and ensuring compatibility with other materials and manufacturing processes.
