Recycling solutions for Sterile pouches

Medical facilities generate thousands of used sterile pouches daily, creating significant plastic waste streams that often end up in general medical waste incineration. These multi-layer packaging materials contain valuable recoverable plastics and barrier materials, but current disposal methods fail to capture this value while contributing to healthcare's environmental footprint.

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 Sterile pouch?

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

Barrier Film
35%
Aluminum-polymer composite for sterility protection
Polyethylene
30%
Outer layer plastic film
Polypropylene
20%
Inner sealing layer
Adhesives
10%
Lamination and sealing compounds
Other Plastics
5%
Reinforcement and specialty films

This composition, especially the barrier film and polyethylene, makes sterile pouches ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
