Healthcare Uninterrupted Circle Images EVSChange is only risky if you choose the wrong partner

As an Infection Preventionist, your primary focus is safeguarding patients and staff from the constant threat of infection. When considering any change, especially to critical systems like waste management, your first question is paramount: Will this enhance or compromise our infection control efforts? Sharpsmart understands this. We offer hospitals a seamless transition to a modern waste management programme designed to actively support and strengthen hospital hygiene in line with your infection prevention protocols.

How Sharpsmart Empowers Infection Prevention

Did you know that Sharpsmart is the only healthcare waste service provider that has worked directly with clinicians to design containers that meet the infection control and safety requirements of the healthcare environment?

Sharpsmart provides much more than just a waste service. We also provide:

  • Hands-free disposal: Our innovative reusable containers enable hands-free disposal, eliminating hand contamination and reducing the risk of cross-contamination at the point of care.
  • Highest levels of decontamination: Our reusable containers undergo rigorous decontamination and sanitisation processes – achieving a 6-log bacterial load reduction before returning to your facility clean and fit for a clinical environment.
  • Sealed and secure containment: Our safety-engineered containers are made of non-porous ABM plastic, restricting bacterial buildup and providing secure containment of infectious waste – minimising the risk of leaks and exposure during handling and transport.
  • Reduced waste flow: Our efficient systems and optimised segregation methods contribute to a reduced volume of waste moving through your facility – minimising potential touchpoints.
  • Traceability and compliance: Our systems provide accurate data and tracking capabilities that support compliance with regulations and offer insight into waste management practices.

And we don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk with trackable KPIs around our promised safety and sustainability outcomes – holding ourselves accountable whilst helping you reach your goals.

Change in Practice

We understand that the thought of changing any process can seem daunting. That’s why the Sharpsmart installation process begins the moment we’re engaged as a potential partner – we work closely with you to understand your specific needs so that we can develop a service tailored for your facility.

We begin with an audit to assess current processes and identify ways to reduce waste and improve resource use through circular economy principles.

Once goals are set, we create a detailed installation plan and seamlessly replace your old containers with new containers with minimal disruption to your continuum of care.
