Disposing of Disposables

Published: September 01, 2009

For its innovative Needle-Trap label system, Schreiner MediPharm, Blauvelt, NY, earns a WorldStar Award in the pharmaceutical category from the World Packaging Organization. The system features an integrated safety device to help prevent accidental needle stick injuries. The simple, economical design allows needles from disposable syringes to be secured safely and easily after they have been removed.

Netherlands-based 2Tap BV has patented the 2Tap cardboard spout as an affordable, environmentally friendly replacement for plastic funnels to end the problem of spilling liquids when pouring them. The folded spout is either glued to the side or suspended from the neck of a bottle, then unfolded and placed on the neck to use. The spout can be made to fit any size bottle and also can be used to advertise special offers or to display product information.
