AB  - Plastics are produced with a staggering array of chemical compounds, with many 
      being known to possess hazardous properties, and others lacking comprehensive 
      hazard data. Furthermore, non-intentionally added substances can contaminate 
      plastics at various stages of their lifecycle, resulting in recycled materials 
      containing an unknown number of chemical compounds at unknown concentrations. 
      While some national and regional regulations exist for permissible concentrations 
      of hazardous chemicals in specific plastic products, less than 1 % of plastics 
      chemicals are subject to international regulation [1]. There are currently no 
      policies mandating transparent reporting of chemicals throughout the plastics 
      value chain or comprehensive monitoring of chemicals in recycled materials. The 
      dataset presented here provides the chemical analysis of 28 samples of recycled 
      High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pellets obtained from various regions of the 
      Global South, along with a reference sample of virgin HDPE. The analysis 
      comprises both Target and Non-Targeted Screening approaches, employing Liquid 
      Chromatography-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRMS) and Gas 
      Chromatography-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (GC-HRMS). In total, 491 organic 
      compounds were detected and quantified, with an additional 170 compounds 
      tentatively annotated. These compounds span various classes, including 
      pesticides, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, plastic additives. The results 
      highlight the prevalence of certain chemicals, such as 
      N-ethyl-o-Toluesulfonamide, commonly used in HDPE processing, found in high 
      concentrations. The paper provides a dataset advancing knowledge of the complex 
      chemical composition associated with recycled plastics.
