Disposal of sharps into landfills puts the community at risk. Needle stick injuries are common at garbage dumps and land fills accessable by the public, especially children.
Pickup of disposal containers contributes to unnecessary fuel consumption and release of greenhouse gases and carbon monoxide into the atmosphere.
The downstream effects of improperly disposed needles are obvious. What is less apparent is the negative environmental impacts of current needle disposal technologies.
Sharps Terminator® is a rare product that can maintain workers safety and reduce needle stick injury while simultaneously lowering carbon footprint & reducing waste disposal incineration.

  • Current sharps box disposal methods result in the incineration of the plastic parts of the syringe. This plastic is in demand by recycling companies because of the high quality plastic used in medical syringes. Until the Sharps Terminator, there was no cost-effective way to remove the syringe plastic from the sharp. Now there is a way. Approximately 70 – 80% of sharps box volume is typically comprised of plastics. It now makes little sense to continue to incinerate syringe plastic along with metal sharps.                               
  • Less sharps box removal also results in less frequent pick-up and replacement trips by heavy trucks. Less needle waste disposal also results in less wear on plastic sharps boxes that must be disposed of and replaced.                                                                                        
  • Safety needle technology uses additional plastic parts to attempt to avoid needle injuries. Since Sharps Terminator implementation eliminates the need for safety needles, it further reduces the amount of plastic that is incinerated each year.
