Schreiner MediPharm, a Germany-based global provider of innovative functional label solutions for the healthcare industry, has investigated the comparable sustainability of its Needle-Trap safety solution relative to conventional needle safety systems. To evaluate the label’s sustainability, the pharma-label specialist conducted calculations comparing Needle-Trap with conventional needle safety systems. 

Needle-Trap proved particularly environmentally friendly primarily due to its special design. Its plastic trap requires less plastic material than conventional needle safety systems and comprises up to 50 percent regranulated material. In addition, due to the label’s compact design, there is no need to adjust its secondary packaging. As a result, Needle-Trap requires less space during transportation and storage. It also generates less waste, which protects the environment and reduces the environmental footprint.
