Sharp box

Sharps boxes are the core tools for medical waste management. Their design must take into account safety, environmental protection, and practicality. In terms of materials, mainstream products use hard plastic (PP or HDPE). PP is resistant to high temperatures, puncture-proof, and pollution-free when incinerated, while HDPE is more durable, and both meet international certification for biohazardous waste; cardboard is lined with polyethylene and is suitable for temporary scenes such as glass fragments. The color follows international standards. Yellow generally indicates infectious waste, and red is more common in the United States. The actual choice needs to match local regulations. The size classification is more refined. Small (0.1- 2L) is convenient for home or travel use, medium (3- 7L) is suitable for daily clinic use, and large (10- 64L) meets hospital or industrial needs. Special scenes can be customized with extra-large capacity.

Usage specifications emphasize safety and compliance. Sharps boxes must have an anti-misopening design (such as locks), an anti-overflow structure (such as transparent filling line prompts), and the filling volume must not exceed 3/4. Disposable products are directly incinerated, while reusable containers must be strictly sterilized. When disposing of the waste, PP material is preferred to reduce incineration pollution, and cardboard boxes must ensure biohazard certification. It should be noted that there are contradictions in the application scenarios of different materials (such as plastic is more suitable for sharp objects, cardboard focuses on glass), and the color and capacity need to be adjusted according to regional regulations and actual needs.
