Recycling solutions for Breathing Filters

Breathing filters are essential single-use medical devices that protect patients and ventilation equipment from contamination during respiratory support. With millions used annually across healthcare facilities, these compact plastic components represent a significant waste stream that requires specialized handling due to infection control protocols, yet contains valuable recyclable polymers that can be safely recovered through proper sterilization and processing.

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 a Breathing Filter?

Most filters are compact and lightweight, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:

Polypropylene
65%
Filter housing and connectors
HEPA Filter Media
20%
Filtration membrane
Polyethylene
10%
Seals and gaskets
Other Plastics
5%
Various polymer components

This composition, especially the polypropylene and HEPA filter media, makes breathing filters ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.

Breathing Filter 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 & Segregation

Contaminated filters collected in designated medical waste containers following infection control protocols.

Sterilization

Autoclave treatment at 134°C to eliminate pathogens and meet healthcare waste regulations.

Disassembly

Automated separation of plastic housing, filter media, and metal components for material recovery.

Polymer Processing

Cleaned plastics shredded and processed into recyclable polymer feedstock for new applications.
