Government & Local Authorities

Clinical waste management should not be daunting.

For non-healthcare organisations, clinical waste and sharps management can sometimes be regarded as scary unchartered territory. As experts in this space with 30+ years experience behind us, we’re committed to making it easy. Working with Customs, Border Authorities, Police forces, Fire services, the Ministry of Defense and Airports, Sharpsmart’s clinical waste management expertise is scaleable to domestic and national service.

Waste optimisation and a safety-led approach to clinical waste management should be the minimum standard irrespective of facility or organisation type. Working with NHS and multiple Government bodies and Local Authorities, we have developed clinical, pharmaceutical and total waste solutions that perfectly intercept the service and procurement needs of the public sector. This coupled with our strong routes to market via healthcare waste frameworks, guarantees both a compliant and streamlined procurement exercise.

As a company we have always been focused on the simple transfer of knowledge, i.e. how can we make healthcare waste (complex and regulated) very easy to understand and execute. Our expertise in managing and handling high risk waste is easily transferrable and is backed by a comprehensive blended-learning education offering; we ensure that anyone working within the public sector can utilise Sharpsmart to provide safe, sustainable and cost effective clinical waste solutions.

Sharps Waste Disposal That Meets Your Specific Needs

By matching containment to waste volumes and utilisation, we can maximise the benefits of reuse where appropriate while avoiding inefficient solutions for lower-volume settings. Whatever the container format, our patented Effluent Retention System for medicinally contaminated sharps also provides a lower-carbon alternative treatment to high-temperature incineration.

    TAILORED TO YOUR FACILITY

    No two healthcare environments generate sharps waste in quite the same way. Sharpsmart develops containment and service plans around your waste volumes, clinical activities and working environment.

    REUSABLE SHARPS CONTAINMENT

    For environments where reusable containers provide the right operational fit, Sharpsmart’s clinically designed reusable system combines safety, durability and the environmental benefits of reuse.

    LOWER-VOLUME SOLUTIONS

    Some healthcare settings generate lower volumes of sharps waste. Where reusable containment isn’t practical, Sharpsmart can provide appropriately sized single- or multi-use containers.

Changing the world one sharp at a time

Peer reviewed in some of the world’s leading medical journals, the Sharpsmart system has proven greater reduction in sharps injuries than any other sharps containment system in the world.

With over 5 years of research invested into its design and engineering, the Sharpsmart collector is manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure that all safety mechanisms are functional on each and every collector. Fitted with an engineered maximum sensitivity safety tray, users are protected in hands-free disposal of sharps and needles. The Sharpsmart is more than just a sharps container, it is an engineered safety device proven to dramatically reduce needlestick injury rates, minimise infection transfer, and substantially improve the risk profile of all organisations that generate and handle healthcare waste.

How are we different?

Sharpsmart’s innovative green treatment technologies and overall approach to segregation and waste management sets us apart as a sustainability focused organisation. However not only do we want to minimise our burden on the environment, we also want to ensure that the experience our customers have with Sharpsmart is seamless, reliable and expertise-led. The ways we achieve this are:

  • Even before we get to a handshake, we ensure that the bidding and procurement process is simple and streamlined.
  • Site audits are completed at every location to ensure that we fully understand your facility’s clinical waste needs and transport or storage considerations that would prove vital to seamless consistent service
  • Our mobilisation process includes not only the delivery and installation of sharps and clinical waste containers, but also comprehensive staff training to ensure your staff are safely equipped in compliant segregation and disposal methodologies.
  • We provide flexible scheduling options to ensure that our services are complementing the needs of your staff and site.
  • We can develop bespoke education packages to ensure all staff can be trained and certified, and your costs can be reduced by compliant segregation.
  • We comply with HTM 07-01, EPR 5.07 and the carriage of dangerous goods (ADR) regulations. In addition our bulk containers also comply with UN3291.
