HDPE - High Density PolyEthylene - is a fairly inexpensive, general purpose plastic, easily recognizable as milk jugs or laundry detergent bottles. It is very recyclable, and can be found in park benches, winter coat linings, and even in home centers as plastic wood (for decks). A discussion on its uses in robots can be found

811 has been recycling our endless supply of build season soda cans for years, as well as paper, cardboard, assorted aluminum, and the occasional computer.
