Microplastics (MPs), which have recently threatened living organisms, are widely distributed throughout the world’s fresh waters, oceans, and seas. HDPEs and PETs are produced and used in significant quantities in plastics. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which can survive in the natural environment for many years, are resistant to thermal, mechanical, and biological effects. This study examined the current developments in the sources of high-density polyethylene microplastics (mHDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate microplastics (mPET), and their disposal and properties. mHDPE and mPET microplastics consist of several sources, including their debris that breaks down their waste into smaller pieces as a result of physical and chemical processes, as well as micro-sized pieces of plastic commonly applied in personal care products or synthetic textiles. mHDPE and mPET pollution has become an important environmental problem with the potential to harm human health by entering the human and animal food chain. mHDPEs and mPETs, which enter the living organism through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact in general, adversely affect the cellular mechanisms in different parts of the body. In addition, they are decomposed into free radicals by the effects of external factors such as light and temperature, as well as biological agents and chemical wastes in the environment, which significantly affects the sustainability of the ecological environment.

“…Various composites have been developed with high-density polyethylene matrix. High-density polyethylene is a flexible and lightweight material and highly resistant to chemicals [21][22][23]. Furthermore, high-density polyethylene has high resistance to impact, and is prevalent in composite production due to its low cost and easy processing [24].…”

In the present study, electrostatic powder coating waste was recycled and employed to reinforce high‐density polyethylene. The hydrolysis method was preferred to modify the powder coating waste of various systems, and they were mixed with high‐density polyethylene at various weight ratios. The mixtures were prepared in a mechanical mixer and then in an extruder to obtain a homogeneous mixture. This homogeneous structure was pressed into molds with a plastic injection device to obtain standard tensile samples. Mechanical and thermal tests were conducted on the samples. It was determined that the tensile stress of the sample decreased with the increase in filler content. The changes in sample tensile strength were investigated after the samples were aged. Three‐point bending strength of the samples was also investigated and it was observed that they became more resistant to vertical loads as the filler content increased. The Izod impact strength of the samples differed based on the filler type and weight ratio. Furthermore, mass loss in the produced mixtures was determined with thermogravimetric analysis. The matrix and filler bonding mechanisms were observed under an electron microscope.

In the present study, three fillers produced with carbon fiber powder (CFP) and rare earth elements were developed for low‐density polyethylene production. These fillers included CFP with a grain size of less than 400 microns and over 90% pure lanthanum and cerium oxides. Polyethylene was employed to ensure the thermoplasticity and homogeneity of the fillers. The fillers were mixed with the matrix material separately, first mechanically and then homogenously in the extruder, then the test bars were produced with an injection machine. In the mechanical tests, it was determined that the tensile strength of the test bars improved by ~20% and the elastic region increased due to the increasing amount of filler. Similarly, an improvement of about 40% in bending stress was realized. In addition, as the fluidity of the mixtures has improved, it has been possible to produce at lower temperatures and save energy in the production. Thermogravimetric analysis was conducted to determine the melting/crystallization temperatures and material losses in the compounds. The scanning electron microscope analysis showed that the fillers were irregularly distributed on the surface in parallel and perpendicular directions. In addition, x‐ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy analyses were performed on the surfaces.
