New Normal | For Procurement
A simplified supply chain.
In a year following a global pandemic, blockages of major trade routes, and global shortages of single-use plastic containers – a reliable supply chain has never been more important to healthcare. With a national servicing infrastructure, we provide a secure approach to clinical waste management through our patented reusable waste containers.
Groundbreaking I know but – we eliminate purchase of waste containers! Our solutions for sharps, clinical waste, cytotoxic waste and medications/partially used or expired drugs ensure your facility always has the containment they need – and allows them to reduce the amount of single-use plastic sent to landfill. Our reusable approach not only delivers peace of mind but major results too!
This 850-bed acute facility saw the following results per annum after implementing our reusable sharps container, the Sharpsmart
- 98% reduction in weight of cardboard used
- 31% reduction in the number of containers exchanged by staff
- 19% reduction in the cost of sharps container usage and disposal
Regardless of your facility type or size, Sharpsmart can drive meaningful changes towards savings and sustainability through our reusable healthcare waste containment solutions. All you have to do is give us a chance.
How we reduce waste volumes (and plastic!)
The plastic from disposable sharps and clinical waste containers amounts to approximately 33% of the waste going to landfill. Since the Sharpsmart reusable sharps system was implemented within Liverpool Women’s Hospital, the Trust have been able to prevent 10 tonnes of polypropylene plastic from being incinerated, reduce their CO2 emissions by approximately 56 tonnes and save 10% on their sharps management costs.
