The majority of plastic bottles utilize HDPE resins because they are inexpensive, impact & chemical resistant, and provide superior moisture barriers. HDPE is mostly used in the creation of milk and juice bottles but due to its chemical resistant properties, it can also be used to hold household chemicals and detergents. Pigmented or colored HDPE bottles have an enhanced fracture resistant property.

Contamination can be a problem for HDPE bottle recycling. The creation of quality recycled materials relies heavily on having as few contaminants as possible. Recycling for HDPE has increased as of late, with 24% being recycled. A larger percentage of recycled HDPE is used in the creation of new containers like soap and detergent bottles, which don't have to meet the same purity requirements as food containers. Recycled HDPE is also used to make pipes, lawn and garden products, film and sheet plastic, and plastic lumber.
