Recycling solutions for Medical Syringes

Medical syringes represent a significant waste stream in healthcare facilities, with billions discarded annually after single use. These plastic devices contain valuable polymers that could be recovered through proper recycling programs, reducing environmental impact while potentially recovering costs for healthcare providers.

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 Syringe?

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

Polypropylene
68%
Main barrel material
Polyethylene
18%
Plunger components
Rubber/Elastomer
8%
Plunger tip and seals
Stainless Steel
4%
Needle (if attached)
Other
2%
Lubricants and additives

This composition, especially the Stainless Steel and Polypropylene, makes medical syringes ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
