New and Improved Recycled Design
The Sharpsguard Eco Containers range includes clinical waste disposal systems that are designed with sustainability in mind. Containers and bins in this range are constructed with at least 40% recycled plastic, while still meeting the high quality and safety standards of the previous designs.
This range is part of a long-term plan from Daniels Sharpsguard to reduce reliance on single-use plastics in the medical field. Benefits of these eco containers include:
- Reduction of environmental impact and carbon footprint
- Reducing independence on plastic made from crude oils
- Removal of the financial impact of the government's Plastic Packaging Tax
Please note: During the transition between the old design and the new recycled design, you may receive the older design.
Practical Design
The Sharpsguard Yellow 11.5L Sharps Container has been designed to provide a safer method of storing sharps for incineration in larger capacities. The solid structure features a side handle to stop the container from rolling away, and also enables easier transportation and disposal.
It also includes a yellow lid to allow for colour coding. This will provide a visual prompt for eliminating the chance of objects being placed in the incorrect containers. The label on the front of the container will also provide improved safety, with space for writing information including the container's location, department, and start date.
Ideal for Versatile Use
As the Yellow 11.5L Sharps Container is larger in size to enable maximum capacity, it can be used in a wide range of situations. It is ideal for hospitals and wards where the frequent disposal of sharps is required, and will also be useful for carrying to and from needle exchange points and clinics in between use.
The larger-sized aperture opening also means that bigger objects can be placed inside the container, making it ideal for multiple purposes.
Standards Conformity
The Sharps Container conforms to BS EN ISO 23907:2012 'Sharps injury protection - Requirements and test methods - Sharps containers'. This means that it meets the specifications required by the standard for the disposal of sharps.
Conforming to the standard will help provide assurance that the Sharpsguard Yellow 11.5L is a safe and reliable option for storing sharps for incineration in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
