Recycling solutions for Disposable Duodenoscopes

Healthcare facilities face mounting pressure to reduce waste from single-use medical devices while maintaining strict infection control standards. Disposable duodenoscopes generate substantial clinical waste streams, with valuable materials like rare earth metals and precision plastics ending up in medical waste disposal rather than being recovered for productive reuse.

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 Duodenoscopes?

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

Medical-grade plastics
45%
ABS, polycarbonate, and specialized polymers
Stainless steel
25%
Structural components and surgical grade alloys
Electronics & circuitry
15%
Camera sensors, LEDs, control circuits
Optical components
8%
Fiber optics and precision glass
Rare earth metals
4%
Neodymium, dysprosium in electronic components
Other materials
3%
Cables, seals, and miscellaneous components

This composition, especially the rare earth metals and stainless steel, makes disposable duodenoscopes ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
