Where to Recycle Lead Aprons: Attenutech’s Unique Solution

In the medical and dental fields, lead aprons are essential for protecting patients and healthcare workers from harmful radiation during imaging procedures. However, disposing of these aprons poses a significant challenge due to the lead content. Many facilities find it difficult to recycle lead aprons because the cost of removing and processing the lead rubber outweighs the value of the materials. This is where Attenutech steps in as one of the few companies offering comprehensive lead apron recycling services.

THE CHALLENGE OF RECYCLING LEAD APRONS

Lead aprons are made from lead-impregnated rubber or vinyl, materials that require careful handling and processing to recycle. Most recycling facilities refuse to accept lead aprons because:

1. High Processing Costs: The process of extracting lead from the rubber is labor-intensive and costly.
2. Environmental Regulations: Strict regulations on handling and disposing of lead make the recycling process even more complex.
3. Low Material Value: The recovered materials often do not justify the expense and effort involved in the recycling process.
