Recycling solutions for LMAs

LMAs are critical airway management devices used in millions of procedures globally, but their single-use nature and complex silicone construction create significant waste streams. With growing regulatory pressure and sustainability mandates, healthcare providers need structured take-back solutions that ensure safe disposal while recovering valuable materials like medical-grade silicone.

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 LMA?

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

Medical-grade silicone
75%
Airway tube and mask
Thermoplastic polymer
15%
Connector and valve components
Metal alloys
8%
Springs and reinforcement
Other
2%
Adhesives and coatings

This composition, especially the medical-grade silicone and thermoplastic polymer, makes lmas ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
