Get hospital wristbands back, recover Vinyl (PVC), Polyethylene & Adhesive compounds, and meet compliance across global markets — without operational headaches.
Hospital wristbands are essential for patient identification and safety, but millions are discarded daily as single-use medical items. Made primarily of vinyl and other plastics, these wristbands represent a significant waste stream in healthcare facilities, contributing to the sector's environmental footprint while containing valuable recoverable materials that could be reprocessed into new products.
With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:
Most wristbands are lightweight, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:
This composition, especially the Vinyl (PVC) and Polyethylene, makes hospital wristbands ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
