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 1L Sharps Container has been designed to provide a safer and more practical method of storing sharps for incineration. The push-down one-piece lid features a vacutainer remover, making it ideal for use by phlebotomists.
The container 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 each container will also provide improved safety, with space for writing information including the container's location, department, and start date.
Rectangular Shape for Versatile Use
As the Yellow 1L Sharps Container is rectangular in shape, it can be ideally fitted into a medical bag for transportation. This makes it a practical solution for community healthcare workers and wardens to carry around in case of the sudden disposal of sharps.
Since it is conveniently shaped, the container is also perfect for wards and departments where space for storing unused containers may be limited. This practical shape will help to ensure that there can always be a spare container at hand.
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 that have not been contaminated by medicinal products.
Conforming to the standard will help provide assurance that the Sharpsguard Yellow 1 is a safe and reliable option for storing sharps for incineration in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
