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 containent solutions. All you have to do is give us a chance.
How Sharpsmart can drive a New Normal for your Procurement team
SUPPLY CHAIN CONTINUITY
Our reusable containment systems are manufactured locally and we have reinforced our stock for any influx - designed to manage seasonal increased waste volumes as well as contingency planning for unforeseen events.
SINGLE SUPPLIER - ALL WASTE STREAMS
A common challenge healthcare waste generators face is finding a partner who can service their variety of waste streams. Luckily, Sharpsmart is a full-service partner that offers a consistent buying approach - consolidating reusable and single-use containers.
PAYING FOR YOUR WASTE ONLY
We simplify your overall costs by including our reusable containment systems in your service. This way, your facility is only paying for the waste you generate, not the containers themselves. This volume data drives the optimisation of your entire program.
NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED
All Sharpsmart reusable waste containers come fully assembled and ready for use. Delivered as single sealed units, our sharps, pharmaceutical and clinical waste containers allow for easy implementation and make exchanging full containers for empty ones a fast task.
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.
