Anchorage, AK is the biggest city in The Last Frontier. Anchorage is the city, yet bedroom communities such as Palmer, Wasilla, Eagle River and the Matanuska-Susitna Valley create a much larger population center. Like any large city Anchorage and environs has cutting edge medical facilities and dental offices. These services rely on X-ray technology as in any medical environment, creating a tremendous amount of X-ray film and metals that need to be recycled according to proper HIPAA and environmental laws. Industrial Surplus World provides this service for NDT film, silver recycler, dental xray film and assists with silver recovery from xray film.
Industrial Surplus Inc. offers numerous services for the greater Anchorage area to assist medical operations in the recycling and disposal of sensitive X-ray films and associated metals such as silver and other chemicals. Silver recovery from x-ray film requires a precise process that is typically out of reach for most medical operations. This is where Industrial Surplus Inc. helps.
Xray recycling takes place either through drop-off or arranged pick-up. The company adheres to the strict HIPAA laws during the recycling process, guaranteeing patient confidentiality and privacy, as required by law. Industrial Surplus stands out from other recovery companies by guaranteeing this privacy and HIPAA adherence. Should any patient ask, they can be given the information that the recycling process adheres to the strict health laws of HIPAA.
Xray film recycling is a multi-stage process that uses heavy machinery and chemical treatments. As the X-ray film undergoes the treatment, up to 90 percent of the film is reduced to raw materials that can be used for further procedures in the medical field. In certain cases, silver recovered from the recycling process may be sold and the money applied to the company's fees, making it beneficial for all parties involved.
