This medical battery recycling service offers healthcare providers a reliable route for battery disposal that reduces risk, supports sustainability goals, and contributes to a circular economy within the sector.
“We’re delighted to be partnering with the SER Group, to bring an innovative and sustainable battery recycling solution to the healthcare sector,” said Andrew Wakeling, CEO of Ideal Medical Solutions. “This collaboration represents a meaningful step forward in our mission to support greener, more responsible healthcare.”
