Eliminate the Rise of Plastic Waste with Sterisil

One of the biggest environmental problems we deal with these days is waste. It just keeps piling up more and more day after day. And it’s become so much of a problem that there are organizations out there that make it their full-time job to clean up these kinds of messes. On top of advocating for the recycling and the overall decline of waste along with it. It’s quite literally a global issue. But, with the evolution of modern technology, there are ways that we’re evolving to join this recycling renaissance. So, as it is our mission at SAS to provide the service and answers to your problems, we had an idea. We decided to put this article together to show you how to properly recycle those old bottles you don’t need. And how to completely eliminate the rise of plastic waste with Sterisil.

One of the things we use every day in some instances with autoclaves are waste bottles. Plastic jugs that are meant to help filter in fresh water and filter out the old water. Depending on what unit you’re using, these jugs can vary in size. And when they need to be replaced, sometimes proper disposal of the old bottles can be a problem. So in this article, we figured we would help eliminate this problem for you altogether. By showing you ways to utilize those old waste bottles, and to give you a way to eliminate the need for them entirely. If you have any more questions about this or anything else, you can call us at 704-966-1650.
