Process for recycling high density polyethylene from domestic polymer waste, said domestic polymer waste comprising polymers such as polyethylenes of various densities, polypropylenes, polystyrenes and polyethylene terephthalate, said process comprising the steps of (a) collecting domestic polymer waste, said domestic polymer waste comprising non-black high density polyethylene detergent packaging waste; (b) processing the domestic polymer waste comprising the steps of (b-1) recovering non-black high density polyethylene detergent packaging waste by separation from the remainder of domestic polymer waste, wherein said non-black high density polyethylene detergent packaging waste comprises at most 10 wt% of polypropylene and at most 5 wt% of black components, relative to the total weight of said non-black high density polyethylene detergent packaging waste, (b-2) cleaning in a bath of water to eliminate undesired components of the domestic polymer waste, and (b-3) grinding to obtain flakes of recycled high density polyethylene, wherein steps (b-1), (b-2) and (b-3) can be in any order, and wherein the recycled high density polyethylene obtained in step (b) has L* of at least 47, a* of at most -2.50 and b* of at least -1.50, according to the CIE 1976 color space and determined in accordance with ASTM E 313 on injection molded plaques; and (c) producing a polyethylene blend comprising from 10 wt% to 90 wt% of said recycled high density polyethylene flakes and from 90 wt% to 10 wt% of a virgin polyethylene having a multimodal or broad molecular weight distribution, with weight percentages relative to the total weight of the polyethylene blend, wherein said recycled high density polyethylene is comprising at least 50 ppm of limonene (1-methyl-4-(1-methylethenyl)-cyclohexene, CAS-nr. 5989-27-5). (a) collecting domestic polymer waste, said domestic polymer waste comprising non-black high density polyethylene detergent packaging waste; (b) processing the domestic polymer waste comprising the steps of (b-1) recovering non-black high density polyethylene detergent packaging waste by separation from the remainder of domestic polymer waste, wherein said non-black high density polyethylene detergent packaging waste comprises at most 10 wt% of polypropylene and at most 5 wt% of black components, relative to the total weight of said non-black high density polyethylene detergent packaging waste, (b-2) cleaning in a bath of water to eliminate undesired components of the domestic polymer waste, and (b-3) grinding to obtain flakes of recycled high density polyethylene, wherein steps (b-1), (b-2) and (b-3) can be in any order, and wherein the recycled high density polyethylene obtained in step (b) has L* of at least 47, a* of at most -2.50 and b* of at least -1.50, according to the CIE 1976 color space and determined in accordance with ASTM E 313 on injection molded plaques; and (b-1) recovering non-black high density polyethylene detergent packaging waste by separation from the remainder of domestic polymer waste, wherein said non-black high density polyethylene detergent packaging waste comprises at most 10 wt% of polypropylene and at most 5 wt% of black components, relative to the total weight of said non-black high density polyethylene detergent packaging waste, (b-2) cleaning in a bath of water to eliminate undesired components of the domestic polymer waste, and (b-3) grinding to obtain flakes of recycled high density polyethylene, wherein steps (b-1), (b-2) and (b-3) can be in any order, and wherein the recycled high density polyethylene obtained in step (b) has L* of at least 47, a* of at most -2.50 and b* of at least -1.50, according to the CIE 1976 color space and determined in accordance with ASTM E 313 on injection molded plaques; and (c) producing a polyethylene blend comprising from 10 wt% to 90 wt% of said recycled high density polyethylene flakes and from 90 wt% to 10 wt% of a virgin polyethylene having a multimodal or broad molecular weight distribution, with weight percentages relative to the total weight of the polyethylene blend,
