Convenient X-Ray Recycling at Your Service

When your business needs a reliable x-ray film disposal company, it’s important to choose someone who can meet your facility’s needs. At TechWaste Recycling, we offer a complete menu of services to medical providers, hospitals and more when they need recycling services for x-ray films. We know this information is not just important to your business, but private to your clients and patients. With TechWaste, you can be ensured of a service that recycles your X-ray films safely, quickly, conveniently and according to all of the required regulations for the medical industry.

Why X-Ray Films Should Be Recycled

Businesses that use and process x-ray films often have thousands of films in storage that need to be properly disposed of. Today, the ideal way to remove this material is to use x-ray film recycling. Unlike other materials that can be recycled, x-ray films must be given special care. Here are the top reasons your business should opt for x-ray recycling as your main disposal method:

• Safety – X-ray films contain silver, and only a professional recycling company that specializes in this service can remove it properly.
• Confidentiality – Because of the information captured on x-rays, they must be disposed of carefully to avoid violating confidentiality agreements.
• Storage – Keeping x-rays in your facility for years takes up space and creates a problem as you get more patients. Recycling can help clear up your space for other uses.
• Sustainability – Recycling items instead of throwing them away helps prevent more waste from piling up in the nation’s landfills.

X-Ray Recycling Process

The process of x-ray destruction and recycling is a little different than other electronic materials and office waste. Once the x-rays are picked up from a medical provider’s location, we get to work. First, we go through the painstaking process of removing the x-ray films from their paper envelopes. Then, the films are ground down into smaller pieces. The leftover x-ray material is then washed with a special cleaner to help separate the sliver from the x-ray material and plastic. The plastic from the x-ray can also be processed and reused for other items.

The Importance of Confidentiality

At TechWaste Recycling, one of our key focuses with our medical provider customers and x-ray recycling is helping you maintain confidentiality. We understand the importance of the HIPAA policies governing medical records, and we are HIPAA compliant and certified to handle records like x-rays. When your business is on the line, it’s essential to choose a company that will help you stay compliant and secure and continue to ensure the sense of trust you need from your patients.

New Challenges at Airports Require Continuous Upgrades

At TechWaste Recycling, we know that safety, security, and convenience are of primary concern for the administrators of an airport. There are many challenges involved in preventing collisions on the ground and in the air and protecting passengers from terrorist activities both in the terminal and on the plane once airborne, all without unnecessarily complicating the customer experience.

The most sophisticated security and convenience measures require the most up-to-date equipment, which inevitably leads to disposal of outdated electronics. TechWaste Recycling holds the following certifications in relation to electronic recycling and data destruction:

• ISO:140001
• OHSAS:180001
• R2:2013

Disposal of electronic equipment with TechWaste Recycling is safe, secure, responsible, and convenient, meaning that you have one less thing to worry about when adopting the latest technologies.

Air Safety Technologies

Recent news stories have detailed an alarming number of tragic accidents and close calls that demonstrate just how important it is to maintain control of airport traffic at all times. Airport surveillance radar allows air traffic controllers to provide clear and accurate instructions to pilots of aircraft both on the ground and in flight.

While many airports are still using analog airport surveillance radar systems, a new digital ASR is currently in development to replace the older generations. At the same time, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Defense are currently working on a Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System that displays radar data to air traffic controllers, replacing the previous versions of automated radar terminal systems. Development and testing of ASR is the responsibility of the FAA, which releases upgrades after they have been determined to be safe, effective, and operable.

Airport Security Technologies

Since potential terrorists are always trying to come up with new ways to sneak explosives and other harmful agents into airports and onto planes, researchers developing security technologies to detect threats must be similarly diligent. As an additional challenge, these technologies must address passenger concerns about privacy.

A number of body-scanning technologies are currently in use at airports around the country:

Magnetometers

The type of metal detector that most people are familiar with finds concealed metal objects using an electromagnetic field.

X-Ray Imaging

Backscatter machines reflect low-energy x-ray beams off the body, creating a precise image of foreign objects.

Puffer Machines

A device that fell out of favor without being widely implemented, it blows a puff of air onto passengers to dislodge particles that can be collected and analyzed by a scanner for explosives.

Magnetic Imaging

Millimeter wave technology produces a full-body scan to detect anomalies on the body. Though unable to detect explosives by chemical signature, its ability to identify both metallic and nonmetallic objects of a suspicious nature make it a strong level of security.

Passenger complaints in 2013 led to passage of a federal law restricting body scanners from collecting too much information. As a result, the devices must now be retrofitted with special filtering software to protect passengers’ privacy. Passengers have also raised concerns about the potential of scanners leaking data or photos to the public due to a breach of online security.

In addition to scanning individual passengers, airports also record a great deal of video in the interest of identifying threats and enhancing security. At a minimum, airport video can be stored for 180 days, but with a finite storage capacity, it will have to be disposed of eventually.

Convenience Technologies

In addition to safety and security, airports also include a great deal of computerized technology that is available for the passengers’ convenience. Such electronic conveniences include the following:

• Baggage claim conveyor belts
• Automated parking systems
• Flight display boards
• Computerized check-in kiosks

Advantages of TechWaste Recycling

When handling airports’ electronics and data, we comply with all applicable laws, including requirements from the National Security Agency and the Department of Defense. We dispose of electronics in a way that is environmentally responsible as well as safe and secure. For more about specific services we provide, contact us today.
