Sharpsmart’s clean container movement is changing the industry’s perception of how clinical waste should be disposed and transported.

In typical healthcare settings, reusable containers are lined with a bag and decanted once the bag is full. This practice leads to bins in patient environments not been cleaned, harbouring pathogens and accelerating risk of cross-contamination. At Sharpsmart, all of our sharps, clinical waste, cytotoxic and pharmaceutical containers are hands-free, and furthermore undergo a rigorous 6-stage robotic washing decontamination and sanitisation process after each use. We are proud to be “moving the goalposts” of what safety in clinical waste containers should look like, our results across needlestick injury reduction, segregation, cost reduction and landfill diversion prove that we’re on the right path!

As much as 50% of the clinical waste stream in UK hospitals is actually incorrectly segregated general or offensive waste.

The financial implications of general waste being processed through a clinical waste stream is significant, as is the environmental impact. Our Bag to Bedside solution is designed to optimise disposal at point of generation; comprising a range of bespoke containment systems, blended learning tools and an intuitive segregation methodology, the Bag to Bedside system typically results in 40-70% diversion of clinical waste into offensive or recycling waste streams.

Tracsmart is an industry-leading mobile scanning technology that delivers real-time waste movement data to manage compliance, costs and environmental footprint.

Our mobile technology provides porters with an intuitive and easy-to-use scanning system which logs the exact waste collection location, fill-level of the bin and easy identification of compliance risks. Bringing full transparency to the daily management of clinical waste streams, Tracsmart delivers real-time data that enables hospitals to manage their costs, waste stream efficiencies, environmental footprint and compliance risks without any additional labour requirements.

Accessories that enable safe positioning, efficient bulk and single container movement and labour reduction

Safety and efficiency is all about accessibility and movement. Safe positioning, easy access, seamless logistics, space-utilising footprint and intuitive placement; at Sharpsmart we have not only designed smart containers, but also a full suite of logistical solutions that optimise the safety, capacity, and efficiencies of all healthcare environments. With versatile mounting and solutions for single and bulk movement, Sharpsmart’ interchangeable systems will revolutionise the costs and efficiencies of current waste practices.

When it comes to minimising healthcare’s environmental footprint, you have come to the right place!

In our 30 year history we have represented some of the world’s biggest hospital brands in driving green waste transformation; we have innovated across the spectrum of robotic washing technologies, reusable waste containment, alternative treatment methodologies and waste minimisation programmes; We see sustainable innovation as the cornerstone of our future. Reducing plastic, diverting waste, driving significant reductions in CO2 emissions… in healthcare facilities across the United Kingdom we have countless case studies and success stories to share.

Protecting staff and facilities in the collection of expired drugs and controlled substances

Setting a new industry benchmark in secure pharmaceutical waste management, the Sharpsmart pharmaceutical containment system mitigates unnecessary risk for healthcare practitioners and the public in the containment, disposal, transport and destruction of partially used or expired medications. Through its safety-engineered design, our unique containment system eliminates tampering, pillaging and misappropriation of discarded pharmaceuticals.
