Recycling solutions for Anesthesia circuits

Anesthesia circuits are single-use medical devices that accumulate rapidly in healthcare facilities, creating significant disposal costs and regulatory compliance challenges. With strict contamination protocols and limited recycling infrastructure, most circuits end up in medical waste streams despite containing valuable recoverable materials like PVC and polycarbonate.

With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:

Recover high-value materials
Reduce disposal costs and material purchasing costs by up to 35%
Meet regulation obligations with audit-grade reporting

What's Inside an Anesthesia circuits?

Most circuits are lightweight, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
65%
Primary tubing material for breathing circuits
Polycarbonate
18%
Connectors and transparent viewing components
Stainless Steel
8%
Metal fittings and reinforcement elements
Silicone Rubber
6%
Seals, gaskets and flexible joints
Other Plastics
3%
Various polymer components and labels

This composition, especially the PVC and polycarbonate, makes anesthesia circuits ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.

Anesthesia circuits Recycling Process: Step by Step

Recycling sounds simple — doing it consistently and compliantly across regions is complex. Resourcify sets up and runs scalable take-back programs worldwide, connecting companies, processors, dismantlers, logistics and recyclers in one platform.

Collection & Sorting

Segregated collection from healthcare facilities with contamination protocols and material identification.

Medical Sterilization

Steam autoclave or chemical treatment to eliminate biological contaminants per healthcare regulations.

Disassembly

Manual separation of different material types including PVC tubing, metal fittings, and plastic connectors.

Material Shredding

Size reduction of separated materials into uniform flakes suitable for reprocessing operations.

Purification

Washing and contamination removal to achieve food-grade or technical-grade material specifications.

Material Recovery

Conversion into recycled PVC pellets, metal ingots, and polycarbonate granules for new manufacturing.
