Sharpak — where safety always comes first.
Sharpak offers a complete range of advanced sharps containers designed to protect clinicians, improve efficiency, and reduce environmental impact. From our trusted single-use to the groundbreaking Sharpak Zero, we set the standard for safety and sustainability in clinical waste management.
Our unique, patented VisiLOCK® lid closing technology is so easy to use, it can be done so even with one hand. An audible click reassures it is securely closed, and when locked, it cannot be re-opened, ensuring the used sharps are securely stored out of harm’s way for easy and safe handling.
Single or Multi-use
For more than three decades, Sharpak products have been relied upon by healthcare professionals worldwide. Our containers are engineered for performance, compliance, and ease of use — combining intuitive design with certified safety.
Today, the Sharpak range has evolved into an integrated family of solutions, including the Sharpak Zero 3.5, 6L, 12L, and 22L models, each conforming to ISO 23907 Part 1 and Part 2 standards, enabling both single-use and multi-use applications.
At the heart of this evolution is our Sharpak Zero technology, the next generation in sharps safety. Built around sustainability and precision, Sharpak Zero delivers the same trusted protection with a significantly lower carbon footprint. Together, these products form a comprehensive range that supports healthcare systems moving toward safer, smarter, and more circular waste practices.
A new era of innovation underpins every Sharpak product.
Through our proprietary NOLOSS machine and integrated AI capabilities, we provide multi use bins, ensuring consistent quality, and delivering an astonishing up to 87% carbon saving compared to single use bins made of 100% recycled plastic — delivering measurable environmental and operational benefits for every customer.

Used clinical needles can pose a very real danger, and it’s not where one might assume. Concerning data from the NHS* reveals that it is the ancillary staff – the support workers, the cleaners, those moving the waste bins, that are in the most danger. A needle stick to an unsuspecting person can cause injury, the spread of disease, mental trauma and costly lawsuits and compensation pay-outs. In a four-year period alone, the NHS was forced to pay out over £4m in avoidable needle stick claims.
