Recovery for the whole healthcare network.

WHAT WE DO

Healthcare recovery services.

Explore the services that turn a baseline into a practical, accountable program.

One healthcare network. One accountable waste program.

Canada Healthcare Recovery helps healthcare organizations bring fragmented waste services into one coordinated program. We assess what each facility and distribution site generates, design the right pathways, coordinate qualified collection and processing partners, implement the program and manage performance over time.

Build. Map the locations, materials, volumes, existing vendors and costs across your network. Use the baseline to identify recovery opportunities, confirm stream eligibility and develop a practical plan for each site.

Implement. Put collection points, equipment, transport schedules and approved processing routes in place. Coordinate qualified partners and clear handling instructions so the program works for staff at facilities and warehouses.

Manage. Keep vendors and locations aligned, resolve collection issues and track quantities and destinations. Review the results with your team, adjust the program as materials or operations change and report progress over time.

Recovery is the goal wherever a safe, viable pathway exists. We can also coordinate residual disposal and specialist services for contaminated, biomedical and other regulated streams through qualified partners. Each stream is assessed separately for appropriate handling, treatment and final destination.

Healthcare audits, powered by EPR Analytics

We audit operational spaces to identify materials, volumes and current practices, then establish a baseline for a workable recovery program.

In a three-day audit for a Canadian healthcare organization, [Re] Waste characterized 19 material categories, identified practical diversion opportunities and mapped more than 90 producers associated with the materials reviewed. That information can support producer engagement that may help offset future program costs.

EPR Analytics adds producer identification and verified data to support program development and engagement.

Expired PPE recovery, coordinated nationwide

Unused, non-contaminated products past their usable date can be managed as a dedicated stream. CHR coordinates palletized collection, transportation and processing across Canada for eligible gloves, masks, gowns, IV bags and other unused supplies.

We confirm material acceptance and suitable end markets, then provide verified reporting on collection and recovery. This service excludes sharps, used or contaminated supplies, biomedical waste and other hazardous materials. Unused syringes are assessed only if they contain no needles or other sharps and the processor accepts them.

Start with an inventory of materials, quantities and locations. We will assess the appropriate logistics and processing plan.

Recovery for hospitals, warehouses and healthcare equipment.

Healthcare networks generate material far beyond the hospital floor. We coordinate programs for care sites, warehouses and distribution centres, adapting collection and processing to each location.

Facilities
Audits identify non-hazardous operational streams, measure what is generated and establish practical collection plans for care sites. We coordinate the people and partners needed to keep recoverable material moving.

Warehouses and distribution
Expired, surplus or damaged inventory, packaging and palletized products can occupy valuable space. We assess each stream, organize suitable transport and confirm recovery options before materials leave the site.

Equipment and electronics
Obsolete or broken products are evaluated for reuse, refurbishment or responsible recycling through qualified partners. Data-bearing devices and regulated equipment receive a specific handling plan before collection.

A clear record of what happens to your materials.

CHR reporting gives your team a practical way to review performance across locations and make better decisions as the program develops.

Quantities
Record collected weights or counts by material and site, using the data available from collection and processing partners.

Destinations
Document the processing route and receiving facility where available, including the end market or approved disposal pathway confirmed for each stream.

Exceptions
Flag contamination, rejected loads, missed collections or changing acceptance requirements so the team can act before issues become routine.

Improvements
Review results with your team, refine collection instructions and identify the next materials or locations ready for recovery.

We report what partners can substantiate and distinguish confirmed outcomes from proposed recovery opportunities.

One partner for the full facility waste program.

Recovery is our priority. Healthcare operations also have residual, contaminated, biomedical and other regulated streams that call for specialist handling. Our expert division can assess those needs and coordinate qualified service providers as part of a broader facility program.

We can develop the scope, consolidate vendors, arrange appropriate collection and transportation, oversee permitted treatment or disposal, and manage the program against clear operational and reporting goals. The handling route depends on the material, location and applicable requirements.

Separate streams. One accountable program. Non-hazardous recovery programs remain distinct from sharps, biohazardous and contaminated materials. Tell us the full scope of your facilities and we will evaluate the right partners and options.

Let’s map your healthcare recovery opportunity.

Start with an audit, a palletized inventory, an equipment backlog or a full network waste program. Tell us the sites and materials involved and we will identify a practical next step.
