Used needles, syringes, lancets and other medical waste will be recovered, transported and repurposed using the new Sharps Recovery System, or the TakeawayRecovery System, rather than being treated and compacted for depositing in landfills.
Sharps’ patent-pending Green Waste Conversion Process results in a new product called Pella-DRX, which is a clean, raw material used in the manufacture of industrial resources. Pella-DRX is suited for energy intensive industries such as cement, lime, steel and power plants. The process renders the processed materials with sterility equivalent to sterile medical instruments.
Dr Burton Kunik, chairman and CEO of Sharps Compliance, said: ”We are revolutionizing the way regulated medical waste is handled and are repurposing it into sustainable new products to ensure it will never go to a landfill. The rebranding of our product reflects the value of the environmentally-responsible process we have designed.
”We are intent on reducing our environmental impact as an organization and on finding ways to help our customers and their patients do the same.”
