Safe for you. Safe for the environment.
Our REC boxes with up to 61% recycled content and up to 43% CO2e savings
The healthcare sector is one of the biggest consumers of single-use plastics - and with good reason: Hygiene, safety and functionality are our top priorities. But this protection comes at a price. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes (in Germany around 125,000 tonnes*) of medical plastic waste are produced every year - a significant proportion of this by clinics and doctors' surgeries.
SARSTEDT has an alternative that can offer both: Safety and sustainability.
With up to 61% recycled content (PCR) and up to 43% ** CO2e savings versus a disposal box made from 100% new material, our REC disposal box offers an environmentally conscious solution for the disposal of pointed and sharp objects in the healthcare sector.
The use of recycled post-consumer waste creates a safe and hygienic disposal solution that conserves resources and demonstrates that sustainable behaviour is possible in everyday clinical practice without compromising on quality or hygiene.
