Introducing the new eco-friendly range of Helapet Sterile Sharps Bins

helapet

 

Helapet are pleased to announce a major development in the range of Sterile Sharps Bins. The new “Eco” range of sharps containers are made from at least 40% recycled plastic, assisting the NHS drive to reach Net Zero by 2040.

The new Eco range will conform to HTM07-01 management and disposal of healthcare waste guidelines. This means they are still a standard yellow container with yellow or purple lids for cytotoxic /cytostatic waste. Due to the recycled material, the yellow will be a darker tone in contrast to the current model.

The new eco range of Sterile Sharps Bins contain a minimum of 40% high grade recycled material to help minimise the impact on our environment and the carbon footprint during its manufacture. This also means there is less dependence on crude oils used in the manufacture of virgin plastic.

The new Eco Sharps Bin range is fully compliant with UN 3291 and ISO 23907-1:2019 standards. Having a mainly yellow base with the appropriate coloured lid it is also in line with HTM 07-01 waste segregation guidance. They are also compatible with the same accessories, trolleys, and brackets as the current ones.

The new ECO range of Sterile Sharps Bins will be phased in from June 2022. Current customers will not need to change anything to begin receiving the new bins. Just place your order the usual way using the same product codes.

Reducing the amount of single use plastic is a challenge in our industry but it’s one that Helapet embraces. One of our key goals is to incorporate sustainability where possible across all areas of our business operations from facility management to work practices, delivering sustainable solutions that benefit the environment.
