Introducing SAFESHARPS: The New Standard in Workplace Sharps Disposal

The way people manage their health is changing. More Americans are using self-injection medications such as insulin and GLP-1 treatments outside clinical settings. That means more sharps — needles, injectors, and lancets — are being used in workplaces, retail stores, hotels, and public facilities every day. Most of these environments were never designed for sharps disposal.

Improperly discarded needles in restrooms and trash bins create serious concerns for

businesses, including:

• Accidental needlestick injuries

• Workplace safety risks

• Compliance exposure

• Environmental impact

• Reputational damage

Workplace sharps disposal is no longer just a healthcare issue. It is a facility safety issue.

A New Standard for Public and Workplace Sharps Disposal

SAFESHARPS, a solution from Logistics Recycling Inc., was created to help organizations address this growing challenge. Designed specifically for public and non-clinical environments, SAFESHARPS provides a simple, scalable way to make sharps disposal safe and accessible in restrooms and workplace settings. Instead of reacting to incidents, businesses can take a proactive approach that supports:

• Employee protection

• Risk reduction

• Regulatory responsibility

• Environmental stewardship

• ESG initiatives

A visible sharps disposal solution sends a clear message: safety matters here.

Why It Matters Now

The rapid growth of self-injected medications means sharps are increasingly present in

everyday spaces. Ignoring the issue does not eliminate the risk; it increases the likelihood of injury or liability.

Forward-thinking retailers, hospitality groups, office buildings, and public venues are beginning to recognize that sharps disposal belongs in their broader workplace safety strategy. SAFESHARPS was built to meet this moment.

Protect People. Protect Your Business.

Providing proper workplace sharps disposal is a practical step toward safer facilities and

stronger operational responsibility. SAFESHARPS helps organizations create safer environments for employees, customers, and communities — today and into the future.
