If your office has outdated X-rays and silver-based films collecting dust, why not recycle them and recover that space while also helping the environment?

Although digital radiography has supplanted chiefly the necessity for traditional X-rays, there are still many old X-rays and films stored in hospitals, medical clinics, and radiology centers.

These are three reasons why you should recycle old X-rays and film:

X-ray and film recycling recover silver for reuse.
Recycling unwanted X-rays and silver-based film recovers silver and other materials that can be used in new products.

Silver is used in various products and processes, and much of it is still produced through mining, despite the adverse environmental effects.

Recycling X-rays and the film is beneficial to the environment.
By keeping obsolete X-rays and films out of landfills, Eco Beringin’s environmentally friendly silver recovery technology helps to protect our waterways and ecosystem.

When obsolete films are recycled, they are placed in a chemical that dissolves the silver-containing image layer before the base is recycled and used in goods ranging from shampoo bottles to polyester fleece garments.

Recycling X-rays and film can help your company save funds.
The expense of dumping waste into landfills continues to climb for businesses, but recycling may help businesses of all sizes save money.

Recycling can also contribute to a more positive workplace culture by demonstrating to your employees that your company is devoted to sustainable practices and decreasing its environmental imprint.
