Lets look at clinical waste management costs in human terms

In many healthcare facilities, costs of clinical waste disposal skyrocket because unnecessary waste volumes are finding their way into clinical waste bins – burger wrappers, cola cans and empty coffee cups. At Sharpsmart we work on driving cost reductions through in-depth training, container positioning that encourages positive segregation behaviours, colour-coded containers with clear labelling, and ongoing audits to determine problem locations. We help you ensure the right waste goes into the right bin so your facility is compliant and your costs are managed.

Clinical Waste Containers designed for safety

Sharpsmart has reconsidered safety and security in the patient setting.

For sharps, cytotoxic, pharmaceutical and clinical waste, more is required to protect the safety of staff and patients. Sharpsmart has worked across UK and global healthcare settings for over 30 years, collaborating with clinicians to design the safest, most user-accessible and secure healthcare waste containment systems in the world. Tamper-proof, penetration-resistant, leakproof, hands-free, UN approved to require no decanting or secondary packaging, and sanitised through a high tolerance robotic washing process – we are changing safety at every step of the user journey.

Compliance and Segregation How Can We Help You?

If there has been one thing we have learned in our years of serving healthcare professionals, it is simply that ‘training work is never done’.

Staff education is an ongoing process; roles change, new regulations are enforced, and areas of clinical focus respond to industry need. At Sharpsmart, we’re passionate about education because we have seen it transform safety, compliance and waste management efficiency at countless healthcare facilities, it is the X-Factor in driving staff efficiency and cost reductions!

Verify. An effective management tool.

The Verify program is designed not only to expedite the working efficiencies of clinical staff in compliant waste diagnosis, but also to collect valuable data for continuous improvements. All search criteria is catalogued by individual department, distilling the waste, contaminants and methods of waste containment data into a consolidated format that can be used to develop focused auditing reports.

With different user levels, restrictions can be set for specific users and/or categories of users accessing the portal, ensuring management-level visibility can be maintained without risk of unauthorised data access or retrieval.

Green. Sustainable. Carbon Reduction.

The most innovative and cost-effective healthcare waste solutions in the UK

  • IMMEDIATE COST REDUCTION

    Sharpsmart’s unique services deliver substantial cost savings. Our reusable containers eliminate the manufacture, purchasing, assembly and disposal costs of boxes and disposable containers, removing a significant cost surplus from your clinical waste management.

  • FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING

    With containment systems to suit all locations, waste streams and volume requirements, and flexible service scheduling to cater for each customer’s waste volume requirements, Sharpsmart ensures minimum disruption to your facility.

  • SPACE OPTIMIZATION

    Sharpsmart’s mounting and movement accessories enable sharps and clinical waste receptacles to be positioned at point of care and provide flexible options for wall mounting, bench mounting or mobile trolleys to wheel containers and bags in and out of patient environments.

  • REUSABLE AND ECO FRIENDLY

    Choosing reusable containers dramatically reduces the volume of plastic and cardboard being disposed of in landfill, together with lessening CO2 emissions by the elimination of manufacturing and destruction. Our waste containment, service and waste reduction solutions are all driven by a goal to reduce environmental impact.

  • CLEAR TRANSPARENT PRICING

    With Sharpsmart, you can know exactly what you are paying. With no hidden costs, no automatic price increases or contract renewals, and transparent customer service, we position ourselves as a partner rather than a provider.

  • SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE

    We don’t take risks with patient and staff safety, all Sharpsmart’s waste containment solutions are designed to protect users, and our compliance team ensures that each facility we work with is fully compliant to all local and nationally mandated regulations.

“Would recommend to everyone…”

We are extremely pleased with the service we are receiving from Sharpsmart. The sharps bins are a lot safer than what we were previously using and can be wall mounted really easily. Collections are always on time and consignment notes provided. We would recommend Sharpsmart to anyone and everyone.

“14% clinical waste reduction…”

Before using Sharpsmart, we were having issues with sharps bins not being correctly used, increasing the risk around sharps disposal. Through the introduction of Sharpsmart, the amount of clinical waste we send for incineration has reduced to 14% of our clinical waste – a saving of 10 tonnes per year – just by removing the plastic containers.

“Reduces our footprint…”

The reason why we chose to use the Sharpsmart sharps container was due to the sustainability issues of being able to recycle the actual sharps bin rather than incinerating them and causing more issues with carbon footprint.

“Reduced Clinical waste by 58%…”

From switching over to the Sharpsmart system: in a 12-month period, we reduced our clinical waste by 58%. That in turn saved our organisation nearly £7,500
