Company to streamline medical waste collection with new portfolio of innovative containers to better serve customers and help protect communities
Stericycle, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRCL), a leading provider of medical waste management, secure information destruction and patient engagement solutions, today announced its new SafeShield™ antimicrobial medical waste containers, a line of high-quality, standardized containers specifically designed for the storage and transport of regulated medical waste (RMW). Compared to Stericycle's current containers, this new line of containers provides customers with an improved design, better storage options and an additional level of protection to help combat the growth of microorganisms on RMW containers. Stericycle previously began rolling out the containers to select U.S. markets and has planned a phased national rollout.
"Our SafeShield™ medical waste containers are designed to meet our customers' needs as RMW generators," commented Cory White, chief commercial officer at Stericycle. "The safe and efficient management of RMW helps hospitals and healthcare systems run more effectively. Through continued innovation and investment, Stericycle aims to provide safe, responsible and sustainable products and services that help healthcare organizations protect the health and well-being of the people and communities they serve, so they can focus on what matters most– patients."
The new SafeShield™ containers include features such as:
Over the next several years, Stericycle will simplify its container portfolio and work with customers to transition from their current containers to the new models, ultimately aiming to reduce its line of more than 150 containers to less than 20. In 2021, approximately 75,000 new SafeShield™ containers were delivered to customers. In 2022, Stericycle plans to ship approximately 290,000 SafeShield™ containers to customers across the U.S. with an additional phased roll-out to follow. As the new containers are introduced in the marketplace, Stericycle will recycle as many of the decommissioned containers as possible to help reduce landfill waste.
