X-RAYS
Many people have a pile of out dated x-rays in the cupboard . Sort through what is still needed and recycle the rest. X-Rays contain silver in the form of halides and this is extracted from the films in Melbourne. The silver can be reused for silver solder, jewellery, the silver plating of utensils, electrical components and film manufacture. With recent technological advances, we can now lower our impact on the environment by moving way from traditional x-ray films and replacing them with digital files of your images and electronic delivery of your medical imaging report.
