A method for purifying a contaminated reclaimed HDPE is provided. The method comprises obtaining the contaminated reclaimed HDPE, extracting it with a solvent to produce an extracted contaminated reclaimed HDPE, and then dissolving it in the solvent to produce a first suspension comprising dissolved HDPE and suspended contaminants. The first suspension is settled to produce a second suspension comprising dissolved HDPE and suspended remaining contaminants, and the second suspension is purified by contacting it with solid media to produce a third suspension comprising purer HDPE. Finally, the purer HDPE is separated from the third suspension and it has natural-like optical properties.
