Medical Device Battery Take-Back & Silver Recovery

Secure & Sustainable Silver Recycling for Healthcare Technology

In the medical world, reliability and precision are non-negotiable. Many life-saving devices — such as defibrillators, pacemakers, infusion pumps, and portable monitors — rely on specialized batteries that contain silver-based alloys. These batteries are engineered for durability, safety, and energy efficiency. But what happens when they reach end-of-life?

Unfortunately, the majority of silver-containing medical batteries are disposed of improperly — often incinerated or landfilled — leading to environmental risks and significant loss of valuable metals.

At Dingfeng Precious Metals, we’ve developed a secure, compliant, and eco-friendly recycling program tailored specifically to the medical and healthcare industries. Our process allows hospitals, manufacturers, and medical waste handlers to recover up to 99.99% pure silver from spent batteries and components.

Our Silver Recovery Process for Medical Batteries

Dingfeng’s proprietary recovery system uses a three-stage process to ensure high-yield and contamination-free results:

• XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) Sorting
  We quickly and accurately analyze incoming battery materials to assess the presence and purity of silver and other recoverable metals.

• Cryogenic Dismantling
  Using ultra-cold, -196°C temperatures, we safely break down sensitive battery cells without combustion risk, preserving valuable materials and ensuring worker safety.

• Electrowinning Refinement
  The extracted silver undergoes electrochemical purification, delivering material that meets or exceeds 99.99% purity standards — ready for reuse or resale.

Industry Compliance & Safe Handling

As a trusted recovery partner, Dingfeng ensures full regulatory compliance with:

•  Local and international medical waste regulations
