Traditional x-ray disposal methods create unnecessary waste and cost. X-ray recycling, on the other hand, makes certain that our natural resources and the man made materials are separated, cleaned and returned to industry for reuse. X-ray films are coated with a silver halide emulsion. Silver is considered a precious metal and must be mined when there is no other source available. Recycling helps make certain that the ecologically upsetting process of mining is reduced. Recycling our waste film also helps save our landfills and oceans from even more non-biodegradable material that remains in its plastic, discarded form for decades at the least.
Hospitals are a good candidate for X-ray recycling, but there are other sources too. Dental X-ray film, X-ray film from veterinarians and NDT film (non-destructive testing film) from testing labs are all sources of recyclable x-ray material. We also recycle lithographic material, as well as radiology sheets. If your business is in the medical field and you are concerned about the confidentiality of your clientele, we are HIPAA certified. We protect your confidentiality requirements and, once the film has been stripped and separated into components, there is no image at all.
