RECYCLING
OF MEDICAL MATERIALS

Medical products and materials containing metal components arise in clinics and hospitals. CRONIMET CREMETAL provides recycling services for suitable medical implants, sterile single-use instruments and other metal-containing medical products.

Our aim is to recover suitable metal fractions from these materials that might otherwise be directed to other disposal routes. Following collection, documentation, sorting and analysis, we prepare processed metal fractions for further processing, where materially and technically suitable.

In cooperation with clinics, we align collection and pick-up processes with on-site workflows. We take requirements relating to hygiene, documentation, data protection and the professional handling of collected materials into account. Our processes are reviewed regularly and adapted to relevant technical, legal and operational requirements.

Through the processing of sterile medical materials, suitable metal fractions may re-enter industrial material cycles. CRONIMET CREMETAL therefore provides clinics and hospitals with a documented process for the collection, processing and further recovery of metal-containing medical products.
 

We provide professional collection, pick-up, documentation and recycling services for:

• Explants, including hip and knee implants
• Single-use metal instruments, including scissors, forceps, clamps and surgical instruments, as well as damaged reusable instruments
• Medical alloys, including titanium, stainless steel and cobalt-chromium alloys
