Recycling solutions for Single Use Duodenoscopes

Single use duodenoscopes generate significant medical waste after each procedure, containing valuable electronic components and optical fibers that typically end up in clinical waste streams. With growing regulatory pressure and sustainability goals in healthcare, medical facilities need structured take-back programs to recover these materials while ensuring proper sterilization and compliance with medical waste regulations.

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 Single Use Duodenoscopes?

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

Medical Grade Plastics
45%
Biocompatible polymers for housing and components
Electronic Components
25%
Imaging sensors, circuit boards, and processors
Optical Fibers
15%
High-quality fiber optic cables for imaging
Stainless Steel
10%
Structural components and fittings
Copper Wiring
3%
Internal electrical connections
Other
2%
Adhesives, coatings, and miscellaneous components

This composition, especially the Electronic Components and Optical Fibers, makes single use duodenoscopes ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
