Get asthma inhalers back, recover aluminum, polypropylene & polyethylene, and meet compliance across global markets — without operational headaches.
Asthma inhalers are essential medical devices that combine plastic housings with aluminum canisters and medication residues. With over 300 million asthma sufferers worldwide requiring regular inhaler replacements, the healthcare industry generates significant volumes of these mixed-material devices that require specialized handling for both medical waste compliance and material recovery.
With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:
Most inhalers are compact, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:
This composition, especially the aluminum and polypropylene plastic, makes asthma inhalers ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
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.
Specialized medical waste facilities handle collection and initial decontamination of used inhalers per healthcare regulations.
Advanced sterilization removes medication residues and ensures complete decontamination for safe material handling.
Automated systems separate aluminum canisters from plastic housings and remove rubber sealing components.
Aluminum canisters are processed through dedicated metal recovery facilities to produce high-grade recycled aluminum.
Clean plastic components are shredded and processed into recycled plastic pellets for new medical device applications.
