Can PE pipes be recycled?

2025-05-16

In the construction of water supply and drainage, power transmission and other projects, PE pipes are widely used. Whether it is PE power pipes used to protect cables or PE threading pipes for threading, their quality is directly related to the safety and service life of the project. In recent years, "whether PE pipes can be recycled or not" has become a hot topic of concern for many engineering practitioners and consumers. The answer is clear: PE pipes are not recommended to use recycled materials, and PE pipes produced with new raw materials that meet the standards are a reliable choice to ensure the quality of the project.

the cost of recycled materials is low, which is quite attractive to some manufacturers pursuing short-term interests. However, there are many hidden dangers in the use of recycled materials to produce PE pipes. Due to the complex source of recycled materials, it may contain different types and different properties of waste plastics. After many processing treatments, its molecular structure is damaged and its properties become extremely unstable. In actual use, the physical properties of such PE pipes, such as tensile strength and toughness, are greatly reduced, and cannot withstand the pressure and external forces during normal use. It is prone to cracking and deformation.

PE pipes produced from recycled materials still have serious defects of easy aging. Ordinary PE pipes need to have certain anti-aging capabilities to ensure long-term stable operation when used in normal environments. PE pipes produced with recycled materials, because the raw materials may be mixed with aging plastic components, under the influence of ultraviolet rays, temperature changes and other factors, the aging rate will be significantly accelerated. After the aging of PE pipe, the pipe wall becomes thinner, harder and loses flexibility, which not only reduces the service life of the pipe, but also may cause problems such as leakage, which brings safety hazards to water supply and drainage, power transmission and other systems.

In terms of pressure resistance, PE pipes produced from recycled materials also perform poorly. Whether it is used as water supply and drainage pipes, or PE power pipes and PE threading pipes used for power protection, they need to have good pressure resistance to withstand internal pressure and external loads. PE pipes produced from recycled materials are difficult to meet the standard pressure resistance requirements due to the uneven quality of raw materials. Under the action of water pressure, soil pressure or ground vehicle load, they are prone to damage, which in turn affects the normal operation of the entire system.
