Get wound vac canisters back, recover polypropylene, ABS plastic & silicone, and meet compliance across global markets — without operational headaches.
Wound vac canisters are essential single-use medical devices that accumulate rapidly in healthcare facilities performing negative pressure wound therapy. With millions of procedures annually and strict contamination protocols preventing reuse, these rigid plastic cartridges represent a significant waste stream that requires specialized handling due to biohazard considerations, while their valuable polymer content remains largely untapped.
With Resourcify, manufacturers can run compliant take-back programs that:
Most canisters are compact and lightweight, but material-rich. A typical unit contains:
This composition, especially the polypropylene and ABS plastic, makes wound vac canisters 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.
Contaminated canisters collected from healthcare facilities and segregated by contamination level and plastic type.
All units undergo medical-grade sterilization to eliminate biohazards before material processing begins.
Automated systems separate plastic housing, metal components, silicone seals, and electronic parts.
Clean plastic fractions are shredded, washed, and converted into recycled pellets for new applications.
We help some of the world's largest companies close the loop on products and materials, getting them back at end of life for remanufacturing, recycling, and reusing. We provide the digital infrastructure and certified network to design, run, and scale global take-back programs:
