Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.

In today's episode, I sit down with Jeffery Miglicco (CEO), Omar Almidani and (Co-Founder), and from PureWay, a company leading the charge in safe sharps disposal and recycling solutions.

Together, we explore:

  • Why proper disposal of syringes, pens, and lancets is critical for safety and public health.
  • How PureWay is creating accessible and affordable sharps disposal systems
  • Recycling technology that keeps millions of pounds of plastic out of landfills.
  • The future of waste management to consumers.

This episode is eye-opening for anyone who injects insulin, uses lancets, needles or other sharps type products. It shows us how small changes can make a huge impact on safety, sustainability, and community health.

🔑 Key Takeaways

  • Awareness is the first step: most people don’t realize that throwing capped needles in the trash can cause safety risks and environmental harm.
  • Safe disposal options exist: from detergent bottles to PureWay’s mail-back sharps containers, there’s always a better choice.
  • Recycling is possible: PureWay has pioneered processes to safely recycle millions of pounds of medical plastics.
  • Affordability & convenience matter: most consumers only need 1–2 containers per year, and many manufacturers even subsidize programs.
  • The future is connected: sharps containers may one day link to apps or support systems, improving medication adherence and safety.
