It is a way for companies in Miami, FL to free-up storage space and make money from the silver extracted from the documents.
Most offices hold on to old medical records too long. This wastes valuable storage space costing companies money for more storage space. It cost companies no money to recycle outdated items. And, they can even make money from the silver contained in the products. The silver recovery from x-ray film is a simple process. Companies should schedule a pickup of the NDT film or dental xray film so a carrier can deliver it to the x-ray recycling or xray film recycling plant. Once there, the material is weighed and ground into 1/2 inch particle flakes which meet HIPPA regulations. The particle flakes are then re-weighed to attain the actual weight customers are paid. This way, customers get the best price for their film. The ground film is then washed to remove any coating used to put silver metal into the emulsion state. The silver is removed from the plastic and tested for its PH balance. It is then made into a cake after all the water is filtered away. The cake is melted to remove additional impurities. It is then melted and poured into molds. After the silver cools, it is ready for shipment to silver vendors for cash. Xray film recycling and xray recycling are also HIPPA regulated. HIPPA laws detail how medical facilities can dispose of their medical information. After a certain number of years, NDT film and other medical records should go to an x-ray recycling company or other recovery companies for recycling.
And, businesses other than medical offices can use the services of recovery companies. A silver recycler can buy your silver solder, bench sweeps, silver cartridges and more. Companies can resell their stock, recycle excess inventory or dispose of used items containing silver. Businesses experiencing an office closure or liquidation can also use x-ray film recycling. And, silver recovery from x-ray film is environmentally responsible and saves our planet's natural resources.
