Recycling solutions for Surgical Trays

Surgical trays accumulate in vast quantities across healthcare facilities, creating significant waste streams. These medical-grade plastic containers often end up in general waste despite containing valuable materials that could be recovered through specialized take-back programs, representing both environmental and economic opportunities.

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 Surgical Tray?

Most trays are large, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:

Polypropylene
75%
Medical-grade thermoplastic body
Stainless Steel
15%
Handles, clasps, and reinforcements
Silicone
5%
Gaskets and sealing components
Other Plastics
5%
Labels and secondary components

This composition, especially the Stainless Steel and Polypropylene, makes surgical trays ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
