        abstract = {The growing use of reprocessed polymers in blow-molded products has created significant opportunities for sustainable and cost-effective manufacturing. However, variations in recycled material properties often lead to defects affecting product quality, dimensional stability, and mechanical performance. This review paper examines studies related to blow molding, recycled polymer behavior, defect formation, and process parameter optimization. The review also focuses on identifying suitable proportions of virgin and reprocessed material required to maintain product quality while reducing defects such as wall-thickness variation, shrinkage, surface irregularities, and reduced strength. The study highlights research gaps and emphasizes the need for optimized industrial processing strategies.},
