Recycling solutions for Medical Thermometers

Medical thermometers contain valuable materials including precious metals in sensors, rare earth elements in electronics, and high-grade plastics. With millions disposed annually and growing regulatory pressure on medical waste, manufacturers need structured take-back solutions to recover materials, meet extended producer responsibility requirements, and reduce environmental impact while maintaining strict hygiene standards.

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 Thermometer?

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

ABS Plastic
45%
Housing and protective components
Electronic Components
25%
PCB, sensors, display elements
Stainless Steel
15%
Temperature probe and internal components
Lithium Battery
10%
Power source for digital models
Other
5%
Labels, seals, minor components

This composition, especially the Electronic Components and Stainless Steel, makes medical thermometers ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
