Transporting pre-assembled containers around the country surely can’t be environmentally friendly?

Sharpsmart has developed a CO2 life cycle assessment tool that proves that the use of disposable containers generate in excess of 80% more CO2 emissions than a reusable system. Many life cycle assessments have been performed, which have been used to demonstrate the benefits of the reusable medical waste and sharps disposal containers - therefore this statement is totally unfounded. The transport of our containers is incredibly efficient and environmentally friendly and because the container is only manufactured once and not incinerated like disposables--this further enhances the carbon footprint reduction.
