Industrial Surplus Inc. is now offering buying and recycling services in Oshawa, Canada. This company procures and reuses raw metals from many different sources, and is now interested in silver recovery from x-ray film. This can be an inexpensive solution for professional organizations, who can now actually make money from their waste.
X-ray film recycling can be a touchy business because it is from a hospital and also represents medical records. A hospital or other clinic must be able to trust the integrity of their business partners. Recovery companies must not exploit information, but must promptly destroy it for silver recovery. This is necessary to protect patient privacy, and it is really only the scrap metal that the company is interested in anyway.
A business might think there is not enough silver to salvage from X-rays, but there is plenty for both the owner and the buyer to profit. Silver prices are going up, and removing the plastic residue that binds the silver is technologically inexpensive. A heavy user of x-rays might be throwing away ounces of silver every year without knowing it.
Hospitals are not the only ones who benefit from x-ray recycling. Another group that makes heavy use of radiation technology is dentist's offices. X-ray is the only practical way to see inside hard enamel, and sometimes dentists make heavier use of film than hospitals. That also means they go through the expense of buying so much. Recovering that money probably sounds wonderful, and might even reduce cost to the end customer.
Selling dental x-ray film might even be the key to staying competitive with other businesses. If they are selling and you do not, then they have an advantage in profitability. If your close competition is making more money than you through a more efficient business model, then they will eventually be able to afford new equipment or cheaper rates. When new services such as Industrial Surplus Inc. come into town, it is time to know what the new ballgame is so your company will not get left behind.
