Analysis on Mechanical Properties of Waste High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Plastic

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) has been widely used in industrial and commercial products nowadays because of its material. HDPE has outstanding tensile strength and it also has high-impact resistance and melting point. There is no doubt plastic is very useful. Despite that, the problem from plast...
