Recycling solutions for Hearing devices

Hearing devices contain valuable precious metals and electronics that are often discarded improperly, creating compliance risks and missing material recovery opportunities. With increasing regulatory pressure around medical device waste and growing volumes from aging populations, manufacturers need structured take-back programs to capture value and meet environmental obligations.

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 Hearing device?

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

Electronics & circuits
45%
PCBs, processors, speakers
Precious metals
15%
Gold, silver, palladium contacts
Plastics
25%
Housing, components
Battery components
10%
Lithium-ion, zinc-air cells
Other
5%
Miscellaneous components

This composition, especially the precious metals and electronics & circuits, makes hearing devices ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.

Hearing device 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 & Sterilization

Medical devices collected and sterilized to remove biological contamination before processing.

Disassembly

Devices manually separated into electronics, batteries, precious metal contacts, and housing materials.

Electronics Processing

Circuit boards processed through WEEE-compliant facilities to recover precious metals and rare earth elements.

Battery Recovery

Battery components processed separately according to battery waste regulations for material recovery.

Material Refining

Recovered materials refined to specification grade for reintroduction into manufacturing supply chains.
