Recycling solutions for Trocar sets

Trocar sets are essential surgical instruments used in minimally invasive procedures, but their complex multi-material construction and strict sterility requirements make them challenging to recycle. With thousands of procedures performed daily across healthcare facilities, the accumulation of used trocar sets represents both a significant waste stream and a valuable resource recovery opportunity for medical-grade materials.

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 Trocar sets?

Most trocar sets are compact surgical instruments, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:

Stainless steel
65%
Main trocar shaft, cutting components, and internal mechanisms
Medical-grade plastics
25%
Housing, valves, seals, and protective components
Silicone rubber
7%
Gaskets, seals, and flexible components
Other
3%
Small metal components and adhesives

This composition, especially the stainless steel and medical-grade plastics, makes trocar sets ideal candidates for structured take-back programs.
