(Video) How to Easily Recycle HDPE Plastic and Turn it Into Something Useful

Watch as out host hits and misses then hits again with his idea on how to melt down and use High Density Polyurethane. It may not be the easiest substance to work with but once you figure out its uses it could become a great survival tool!

While the end of the video is rather iffy on what you can do with HDPE other than turning it into a block of HDPE, it does force us to be creative and use our imaginations. Perhaps we can mold it into cups or plates? Or even be artistic and crate a number of interesting sculptures?

In the end, as survivalists and preppers, we will want to look at HDPE as a tool to keep us thriving when the rest of the world is in chaos. Again, creativity – one really good idea – is what we’ll need and HDPE will become our life-long friend!

    This is exactly how I do it. I am currently in the process of turning water bottles (PP) back into oil. Never throw anything away.
