recycle smarter, and that includes making sure #2 plastics find a new life instead of ending up in a landfill
What Are #2 Plastics?
#2 plastics are made from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), one of the most commonly used and easily recycled plastics in the world. You’ll find HDPE in everyday items like milk jugs, detergent bottles, shampoo containers, juice bottles, and some grocery bags. It’s known for being strong, durable, and resistant to moisture. This makes it incredibly useful for packaging products we all use every day.
Even with the push for greener materials, HDPE remains a critical part of modern packaging because of its lightweight strength and versatility. Better yet, HDPE is highly recyclable and can be transformed into new products like piping, plastic lumber, recycling bins, and even new containers. This means #2 plastics are not just useful, they're a big part of creating a sustainable, circular economy when properly collected and processed.
When plastics like HDPE are properly recycled, they help reduce waste, lower demand for new raw materials, and conserve energy. However, when plastics are thrown away instead of recycled, they contribute to landfill overflow and environmental pollution. That’s why programs like ours are so important: by recycling your #2 plastics, you're helping keep useful materials in circulation and protecting the environment for future generations.
