Recognizing the large amount of plastic waste produced by humans today, recycling is one solution to reduce the accumulation of plastic waste. This study aims to analyze the recycling of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) plastic waste into cell phone cases. This study compares the strength of recycled plastic cell case with other materials that are often used for cell phone cases in general. The methodology of this paper begins with the development of new 2D and 3D cellphone cases, and for processing with injection molding. The parameters are focused on the strength of the material. The simulation is presented using Autodesk Inventor with free fall analysis, and presented stress, displacement, main stress and strain. The results show that the results of stress analysis and material comparison between HDPE and other materials do not show significant differences in other words HDPE can be used as an alternative material for cell phone case materials.
