Metal Recycling in the Medical Industry
Waste in the Medical Industry can be generally grouped into two categories: hazardous and non-hazardous. Though you may think of plastic tubes, gauzes, and paper surgeon’s gowns, there is a significant amount of metal waste in the medical industry as well, including platinum, titanium, tantalum alloys, thermocouples, and even gold.
Globe Metal® provides safe and affordable hazardous metal wastes recycling and disposal solutions. We handle mixed materials in compliance with all required permits and provide documentation and proof of recycling and destruction to help companies avoid costly fines and investigations that could potentially interfere with productivity.
Metals in the Medical industry generally come from platinum cardiac catheter tips and supplies; platinum from testing tools; titanium orthopedic scrap; titanium and tantalum alloys from artificial knees and hips; as well as cobalt, gold, platinum and other precious metals.
Globe Metal® has experience supporting medical and medical manufacturing companies with their recycling. Our services include free consultation, sorting, cleaning, transportation, import and export and destruction documentation. Our goal is to deliver an easy and seamless experience to our customers, and we ensure that transactions are processed expeditiously and professionally.
