108: Reusable Sharps Opening Tools/Equipment System

Team Members:

Ethan Porette, Samuel Farca, Brooke Demore, Madison Johnson

Sponsor: Choice MedWaste

Sponsor Description: 

Choice MedWaste is a locally owned regulated waste disposal company in Newark, DE. Their team specializes in a variety of waste streams for their clients and are always looking to promote sustainable waste solutions. Most larger healthcare facilities utilize reusable sharps containers to help reduce the amount of single use plastics being disposed of by their teams. This also helps reduce costs through eliminating the need to purchase the single use plastic sharps containers. As Choice MedWaste grows, they would like the ability to service these clients as well as offer these reusable sharps containers to their current clients. If they are going to offer these reusable sharps containers, they must have a safe way to open, empty and clean them.
