Update on our Acupuncture Guide Tube Recycling Scheme (SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE)
At AcuPrime, we remain deeply committed to sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of clinical waste.
Due to the unexpected closure of our specialist recycling partner, we have had to temporarily pause our plastic guide tube recycling scheme, effective immediately.
What this means for you:
Current Collections: We are currently unable to accept or process returned plastic guide tubes. Please do not send further recycling returns to our facility until further notice.
Alternative Disposal: In the interim, please dispose of your non-contaminated plastic guide tubes through your local standard commercial waste management channels in accordance with your local clinical regulations.
Next Steps: We are actively seeking a new recycling partner who can meet the technical processing standards required for our materials. We hope to resume the program as soon as a viable partner is secured.
We appreciate your dedication to sustainable practice and thank you for your understanding. We will post an update here as soon as the service is restored.
If you have any immediate questions, please reach out to our support team at info@acuprime
