X-Ray Film Destruction & X-Ray Disposal

If you’re not using a secure, environmentally responsible X-ray destruction method, your business is at risk.

Protect your business with Shred-it X-ray Destruction.

What happens to your old, unwanted X-rays could make or break your organisation. You know it doesn’t make sense – from an environmental or security perspective – to throw them in the general waste, so the chances are they end up indefinitely stockpiled in storage.

But if the confidential data they contain gets into the wrong hands it can lead to regulatory fines, lost reputation and loss of business.

You have a legal obligation to keep the private information of your customers, employees and business secure. Stay compliant by using Shred-it X-ray Destruction for obsolete X-ray film:

• analogue medical film
• dry-view medical film
• industrial film (e.g. from non-destructive testing of engineered parts)

Key compliance questions when using a third party supplier for X-ray film disposal:

• Is your X-ray film processed by an ISO 9001/14001 accredited organisation?
• Does your current supplier destroy and recycle 100% of your X-ray film in the UK rather than shipping overseas prior to destruction?
• Does your supplier have a 100% secure chain of custody that provides end to end security and peace of mind?
• Healthcare providers - is your current supplier registered with the Department of Health Information Governance Toolkit?

Shred-it X-ray Destruction is 100% Secure

Solutions to your X-ray film destruction requirements can be found in the market where your film is not processed in the UK but is instead shipped overseas for processing and sent to landfill.
