All produced plastics are not structurally recyclable. Recycled plastics used in various industries include:
- HDPE: Plastic Inflatable Bottles (milk, detergent, oil) and plastic bags and toys. HDPE is considered as a natural substance. Its color is natural and very valuable because it can come in any color when recycled.

PET can be used to fill pillows, quilts and sweaters as well as tape and video footage. - PVC: food cover, vegetable oil bottle, windproof packaging
