**Medical device recycling** is the process of **recycling**, in a safe and environmentally conscious way, the devices used in the health sector that have reached the end of their life, have broken down, or no longer comply with the legislation.

This process is not only a legal requirement. It is also critically important for human health, environmental safety, and data privacy.

As Scrap Danışmanlık, we offer professional, documented solutions that comply with the legislation in the field of medical device recycling. We remove our clients’ legal risks and contribute to their sustainability goals.

1. Human Health and Safety

Medical devices can carry serious risks when their service life ends or when they break down.

Biological risks: Residues such as blood, tissue, and body fluid can create a risk of infection.
Chemical risks: Hazardous substances left inside a device (e.g., mercury, lead) can harm human health.
Diagnosis: Faults in devices can lead to faulty analyses, and so to wrong diagnoses. This in turn can cause physicians to misdiagnose and create life-threatening risks.

With proper medical device recycling, these risks are greatly reduced.

2. Environmental Protection and Sustainability

The plastic, metal, and electronic components inside medical devices can fall into the hazardous waste class. Disposal methods that do not comply with the legislation:

Can pollute soil and water resources
Can harm the ecosystem in the long term

With environmentally friendly recycling and disposal methods, Scrap Danışmanlık eliminates this waste with the lowest possible environmental impact.

3. Compliance with Legal Legislation

In Türkiye, medical device recycling is supervised under the Environmental Law, the Waste Management Regulation, and the relevant Ministry of Health regulations.

Undocumented recycling operations can damage brand value, and lead to high fines and legal sanctions.
Scrap Danışmanlık documents all disposal processes with official recycling records and certificates.

4. Data Security

Some medical devices (e.g., patient monitoring systems, digital X-ray devices) can store patient data. Disposing of these devices in an uncontrolled way creates serious risk under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) and data security obligations.

With secure data erasure and physical recycling methods, the risk of a data leak is minimised.

Added value in terms of image and corporate responsibility
