We specialize in the recycling of X-ray films and purchase all varieties of industrial X-ray films used in NDT (non-destructive testing). During the recycling process, we recover silver from the films in an environmentally friendly way, and thus are able to compensate you.
At Schmidt + Kampshoff, we focus on Africa and Middle Eastern countries like the United Arab Emirates and Oman as our primary source of industrial X-ray films to recycle.
Many industries inspect their manufactured components non-destructively using X-ray processes. This includes machined elements and welding works from aircraft or ship construction, as well as construction or maintenance of pipelines, oil refineries or energy plants. Items such as pumps, turbines, pressure vessels, pipes, freight containers and rotor blades may all be subjected to NDT X-raying. We recycle all types of industrial X-ray films from around the world, recovering valuable silver and plastic, thus contributing to a sustainable, circular economy.
We take care of the entire process: from pick up to shipping to recycling. In the process, we pay very close attention to the protection of your data. As a matter of course, you will receive an international certificate of destruction from us as proof that the sensitive information on the industrial X-ray film has been safely destroyed. In the case that there is a legal retention period for archiving requirements in the respective country, the X-ray films can thereafter be sent for destruction or disposal in accordance with data protection regulations.
Your industrial X-ray films contain valuable materials that we can recover through innovative recycling processes in Germany. Follow the path of how silver and plastic are recovered from your old X-ray films.
