Iodine is a non-renewable resource with a global annual demand (for all purposes) of more than 66M pounds. By recycling it, we can reduce our ecological footprint and improve our sustainability, all while using the existing distribution route to avoid nullification of the ecological benefits.
Join us in contributing to a more sustainable and valuable recycling model where iodine is reused in other sectors rather than discarded.
your uncontaminated iodinated contrast media by following these steps:
Order the recycle container package via your usual ordering procedures. Material code: 1187935
Do not discard any items included in this shipment — all items will be required for the return (return box and red tie).
Collect only uncontaminated GE HealthCare iodinated contrast media leftovers into the container regardless of source. This includes diluted contrast with either saline or water, as well as from power injector syringes (CT or Angio). Do not include vials or syringes.
Using a water-dampened cloth, wipe the outside of the container, ensuring that no contrast media is left behind which may obstruct proper sealing of the lid.
Close the container by turning the lid a quarter turn in a clockwise direction until you cannot rotate it further.
Invert the container to make sure it is properly closed and there is no leakage.
Seal the container shut with the provided red tie, complete the label adhered to the lid, and pack inside the return box.
Call GE HealthCare customer service to process the shipping label. Afterwards, the FedEx return label will be provided via email.
Have your shipping and receiving department arrange the FedEx pick up.
