Recycling solutions for Disposable Ureteroscopes

Disposable ureteroscopes generate significant medical waste while containing valuable materials including medical-grade plastics, stainless steel components, and optical elements. Without structured take-back programs, these single-use devices end up in medical waste streams, missing opportunities for material recovery and circular economy implementation in healthcare settings.

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 Ureteroscope?

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

Medical Grade Plastics
45%
Housing, catheter sheath, connectors
Stainless Steel
25%
Working channel, structural components
Optical Glass/Fiber
15%
Imaging bundle, lenses
Electronics
10%
LED, sensors, control circuits
Aluminum
3%
Handle components, brackets
Other
2%
Adhesives, seals, minor components

This composition, especially the Medical Grade Plastics and Stainless Steel, makes disposable ureteroscopes ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
