Industrial Surplus, Inc. offers cost-effective and efficient x-ray disposal in Hamilton County, Ohio. X-ray film recycling is becoming increasingly important because of the many uses of x-ray technology. It is used in industrial applications as well as in almost all medical and dental offices and hospitals. When you think about how much film is being used, it is a staggering amount.
There is no need to throw used x-ray films out after they have outlived their usefulness. The x-ray films contain silver which can be recovered rather than being buried in a landfill. X-ray recycling uses a chemical process to separate the silver from the plastic film. Then both the silver and the plastic can be reused.
When x-ray technology is used in industrial radiography, it is called NDT (non-destructive testing). It allows a company to check for flaws in machinery or products without causing any damage in the testing process. The item is simply x-rayed in order to find the problems. After the testing is complete, the film is ready to be recycled.
In a dental office, dental x-ray film is commonly used for patient x-rays. It is kept for a period of time by the dentist, but eventually it needs to be disposed of. Dental x-rays contain sensitive and confidential patient data, so they should not just be thrown in the trash. By dealing with a reputable recycling company, you can be assured that they will be disposed of according to HIPAA requirements.
Many medical offices and veterinarians use x-rays as well, and need a place to dispose of their used film. Doctors and hospitals need to follow the same HIPAA regulations as dentists, so finding a reliable recycler of used film is crucial.
Industrial Surplus, Inc. is experienced in x-ray disposal and will purchase used x-ray film. Anyone located in Hamilton County, OH who would like to find a place for NDT film and x-ray recycling should consider recycling their used film with Industrial Surplus, Inc.
