“…The differences in mechanical properties between highdensity polyethylene (HDPE) and various plastics are highlighted in Table 1. The solid mechanical properties of HDPE bottle caps makes them suitable and safe for recycling in school and laboratory environments [19]. Grade, tacticity, and molecular weight determine the melting temperature of HDPE material, ranging from 120 to 180 • C.…”

Plastic waste is increasing worldwide, contributing significantly to pollution and global warming. Our department uses at least 50 plastic water bottles daily; these bottles can be reused to manufacture other products. Recycling plastic waste produces various products, including garden sets for kids, bricks, roof tiles, key holders, and flowerpots. Through this project, we contribute to the fight against pollution caused by plastic waste by developing an easy-to-use plastic processing system. We create these valuable products using plastic collected from landfills. We present an open-source system that can be easily built by a technical team to create an ecosystem. We use the project as a mobile educational model to demonstrate the recycling mechanism and to foster a community recycling culture. The following procedures are included in this study. High-density polyethylene bottle caps are washed and dried before shredding in a shredder to produce flakes. Plastic flakes are fed into an extruder, which heats and transforms them into a homogeneous mass. This molten plastic is molded into the shape of a flowerpot using a die. Pots are great products to obtain from discarded plastic caps due to their strength. Following the fabrication of the entire system, numerous tests are performed to improve the design and obtain the desired specifications, resulting in appealing end products. In our facilities, flowerpots are made from consumer bottle caps and used to grow aloe.

The use of wood as the primary material in the fishing vessels construction has been use a lot in Indonesia. At present, there is a problem in the availability of wood materials which are increasingly difficult to obtain. For this reason, it is necessary to innovate good quality wood substitute materials. In this case, HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) material is the suitable alternative as a substitute for the primary material for fishing vessels. However, further studies are needed due to the lack of regulation and research related to the joint of HDPE materials in ships construction. This study aims to determine the quality of various variations in tensile and bending strength. The method used is experimentation and data processing, while the research variation is V-Seam and X-Seam with hot gas and extrusion welding. Data were obtained by conducting tensile testing with the BS EN 12814-1-2000 standard and bending testing with the BS EN 12814-2-2000 standard. The study's results found that the seam and connection method affect the tensile strength and bending of the HDPE welding joint. The tensile and bending strengths for each variation of V-Seam hot gas, X-Seam hot gas and V-Seam extrusion welding are 14.07 MPa, 15.44 MPa, and 19.29 MPa, while the bending strengths are 29.22 MPa, 33.28 MPa, and 37.85 MPa, so the most optimum tensile and bending strength is obtained from the variation of the V-Seam extrusion welding joint with values of 19.29 MPa and 37.85 MPa, respectively.
