Recycling solutions for Suction Tips

Medical suction tips are essential single-use devices in healthcare facilities, but their disposal as medical waste creates significant environmental and cost burdens. With millions used daily across global healthcare systems, these rigid plastic devices represent both a substantial waste stream and an untapped opportunity for material recovery through proper take-back programs.

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 Suction Tip?

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

Polypropylene
78%
Medical-grade rigid plastic housing
Polystyrene
12%
Connector components
Stainless Steel
8%
Internal reinforcement elements
Other
2%
Additives and minor components

This composition, especially the polypropylene and stainless steel, makes suction tips ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.

Suction Tips 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 & Segregation

Gather used tips from healthcare facilities following medical waste protocols and sort by material type.

Sterilization

Apply steam sterilization or chemical treatment to eliminate all biological contaminants per medical standards.

Mechanical Processing

Disassemble components and shred plastic materials into uniform flakes for reprocessing.

Material Recovery

Separate and purify recovered plastics and metals for reintroduction into manufacturing supply chains.
