Why Old X-Ray and Lithographic Film Shouldn't Go in the Bin
X-ray film — whether medical, dental, industrial NDT, or lithographic printing film — needs specialised handling that ordinary waste streams aren't equipped for. Simply throwing it away or landfilling it is neither environmentally responsible nor compliant with South African waste regulations.
Beyond the environmental impact, medical and dental film often carries patient information, while industrial NDT and lithographic film can carry client or project-specific records. Recycling through a controlled, compliant process like ours means that information is securely destroyed as part of responsible, licensed processing.
- Keeps medical, dental, NDT and lithographic film out of landfill
- Removes patient, client and project data from circulation securely
- Processed in full compliance with South African NEMWA regulations

That central location means faster collection turnaround for practices, laboratories, radiology departments, NDT inspection companies and print businesses across the region.
For businesses further afield, we also offer free collection for bulk quantities nationwide, and smaller quantities can be dropped off directly at our Germiston facility.
