Get face masks back, recover non-woven polypropylene, aluminum & polyester elastic, and meet compliance across global markets — without operational headaches.
Medical facilities generate millions of single-use face masks annually, creating significant healthcare waste. These masks contain valuable polypropylene materials that traditionally end up in landfills or incineration, missing opportunities for material recovery and circular economy implementation.
With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:
Most masks are lightweight, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:
This composition, especially the non-woven polypropylene and aluminum, makes face masks 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.
Used masks are collected separately from other medical waste and sorted by material type and contamination level.
Autoclaving or chemical treatment eliminates pathogens, making masks safe for further processing.
Sterilized masks are shredded into small pieces to prepare for material separation processes.
Advanced sorting separates polypropylene fibers from elastic straps and metal nose wires.
Clean polypropylene is melted and formed into pellets for manufacturing new products.
