Get vacutainer tubes back, recover Polystyrene Plastic, Rubber Stopper & Paper Label, and meet compliance across global markets — without operational headaches.
Medical laboratories worldwide generate millions of single-use Vacutainer tubes annually, creating significant plastic waste streams while valuable materials remain trapped in complex disposal chains. Current medical waste protocols often lead to incineration, missing opportunities to recover high-grade polymers and reduce environmental impact.
With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:
Most tubes are lightweight, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:
This composition, especially the Polystyrene Plastic and Rubber Stopper, makes vacutainer 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.
Medical waste protocols ensure safe collection and sterilization of used tubes before processing.
Automated systems separate plastic tubes from rubber stoppers and remove paper labels.
Clean polystyrene is shredded, washed, and pelletized for reuse in new medical applications.
Rubber stoppers are processed separately for recycling into industrial rubber products.
