Get surgical drill bits back, recover tungsten carbide, titanium alloy & high-grade stainless steel, and meet compliance across global markets — without operational headaches.
Surgical drill bits are single-use medical devices essential for bone drilling procedures, but their disposal creates both environmental waste and missed opportunities for valuable metal recovery. With thousands used daily across healthcare facilities, the accumulation of high-grade steel and tungsten carbide represents significant material value that's typically lost to medical waste streams.
With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:
Most drill bits are compact, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:
This composition, especially the tungsten carbide and titanium alloy, makes surgical drill bits ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
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.
Secure collection from surgical facilities following medical waste protocols and chain of custody requirements.
High-temperature autoclave sterilization to eliminate biological contaminants and ensure worker safety.
Separation by alloy type using magnetic and visual sorting to optimize downstream processing efficiency.
Mechanical processing and metallurgical separation to recover tungsten carbide, titanium, and steel fractions.
