Get tracheostomy tubes back, recover PVC, silicone & polypropylene, and meet compliance across global markets — without operational headaches.
Tracheostomy tubes are single-use medical devices that create significant healthcare waste streams. With growing regulatory pressure on medical waste management and increasing focus on circular economy principles in healthcare, facilities need structured approaches to handle these plastic-intensive devices while ensuring compliance with medical waste regulations and recovering valuable materials.
With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:
Most tubes are small, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:
This composition, especially the PVC and silicone, makes tracheostomy tubes 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.
Segregated collection from healthcare facilities following medical waste protocols and regulatory compliance.
Autoclave treatment and chemical decontamination to eliminate biological contaminants per medical standards.
Sorting by polymer type using automated identification systems to separate PVC, silicone, and PP components.
Mechanical disassembly to separate different plastic types and remove non-recyclable components.
Advanced recycling processes to break down plastics into chemical feedstock for new medical-grade materials.
Testing and certification of recovered materials to meet medical industry standards and regulatory requirements.
