Get medical masks back, recover non-woven polypropylene, polyethylene & elastic polymers, and meet compliance across global markets — without operational headaches.
Medical masks are essential protective equipment in healthcare settings, but their single-use nature creates significant waste streams. With billions of masks used annually in operating theatres and clinical environments, the accumulation of contaminated plastic waste presents both environmental and regulatory challenges for healthcare facilities seeking sustainable disposal solutions.
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 polyethylene, makes medical 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.
Collect used masks in designated medical waste containers, ensuring separation from other contaminated materials.
Apply autoclave or chemical sterilization to eliminate pathogens and make materials safe for processing.
Remove elastic straps and metal nose bridges, then separate polypropylene layers from other components.
Shred sterilized polypropylene into flakes and prepare for chemical or mechanical recycling pathways.
Test processed materials for contamination and quality standards before integration into new products.
