Recycling solutions for PICC Lines

PICC line kits contain valuable medical-grade polymers and metals, but their complex multi-component design and strict regulatory requirements make traditional recycling approaches inadequate. Without proper take-back programs, these devices contribute to medical waste streams while their recoverable materials go unutilized.

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 PICC Lines?

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

Medical-grade silicone
58%
Catheter tubing and seals
Stainless steel
24%
Introducer needle and guidewire
Polyurethane
12%
Catheter hub and connectors
Polycarbonate
4%
Packaging and protective components
Other
2%
Adhesives and minor components

This composition, especially the medical-grade silicone and stainless steel, makes picc lines ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.

PICC Lines Recycling Process: Step by Step

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.

Collection & Sorting

Used PICC kits collected from healthcare facilities and sorted by material composition.

Decontamination

Medical sterilization protocols remove biological contaminants ensuring safe processing.

Component Separation

Automated disassembly separates catheters, needles, and plastic components.

Metal Recovery

Stainless steel needles and guidewires processed for high-grade metal reclamation.

Polymer Processing

Silicone and polyurethane materials cleaned and processed into reusable feedstock.
