What material is a 200L plastic barrel made of?

The water-based paint purchased by our company is packaged in 200L plastic drums; what is the material of these drums? Can it be recycled? This post was last edited by QXZ-1966 on 2009-2-24 at 13:00.]
Most of them are made of HDPE plastic. When it comes to recycling, do you put things back into the containers or recycle the plastic waste? You can certainly put things back in them, but you need to clean them first. It’s fine if you have appropriate equipment for this purpose; otherwise, it’s not very cost-effective.
Polyethylene, once cleaned, can be reused
It seems the manufacturer takes it back for reuse, as it is a water-soluble material. I have one more question: how long is its lifespan?
It can be sold; there are specialized manufacturers for recycling it. Whether it is HDPE or PS. .
It’s HDPE, and it can be recycled
To use high-density, environment-resistant polyethylene, such as Qilu’s 1158Y, for containers of this size, a high molecular weight is required, along with low melt flow
Polyethylene-based, which can be crushed and then regranulated for use.
Manufacturers generally recycle this kind of thing. If it’s not intentional damage. It has a very long lifespan. No problem for a few years
It is manufactured using linear high-density polyethylene as raw material.
