Recycling solutions for Disposable Bronchoscopes

Disposable bronchoscopes are essential for respiratory diagnostics and procedures, but their complex optical and electronic components make them challenging to recycle through standard medical waste streams. With growing regulatory pressure and sustainability mandates, healthcare facilities need structured take-back solutions that recover valuable materials while ensuring proper sterilization and compliance.

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 Disposable Bronchoscope?

Most bronchoscopes are compact, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:

Medical-grade plastics
55%
High-performance polymers for device housing and flexible components
Optical components
18%
Specialized glass fibers and lenses for imaging systems
Stainless steel
15%
Structural components and working channels
Electronic components
8%
Control circuits and sensors
Other materials
4%
Adhesives, seals, and miscellaneous components

This composition, especially the optical components and medical-grade plastics, makes disposable bronchoscopes ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
