Recycling solutions for Medical filter cartridges

Medical filter cartridges are essential components in healthcare filtration systems, but their single-use nature generates significant healthcare waste. With millions of cartridges disposed of annually across healthcare facilities, the accumulation of plastic waste presents both environmental and compliance challenges. Current disposal methods often involve costly medical waste streams, while valuable plastic polymers end up in landfills or incineration.

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 Medical filter cartridge?

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

Polypropylene housing
65%
Primary structural component and filter media
Polyethylene seals
15%
Gaskets and sealing components
Stainless steel fittings
12%
Connection ports and internal reinforcement
Polyethersulfone membrane
5%
High-performance filtration layer
Adhesives and bonding agents
2%
Assembly and sealing compounds
Other
1%
Labels and miscellaneous components

This composition, especially the stainless steel fittings and polypropylene housing, makes medical filter cartridges ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
