Transporting pre-assembled sharps waste containers around the country surely can’t be environmentally friendly?

Daniels Health and Compass have developed a CO2 life cycle assessment tool, which proves that the use of single-use sharps containers generate in excess of 80% more CO₂e than a safety engineered system. There have been many life cycle assessment performed which have been used to demonstrate the benefits of the safety engineered system therefore this statement is totally unfounded. The transport of Sharpsmart units is incredibly efficient and environmentally friendly and the fact that the container is only manufactured once and is not incinerated further enhances the carbon footprint reduction.
