Founded in 2017, Med-X Healthcare Solutions is a leading provider of specialist clinical waste and hygiene solutions in Australia. Through a focus on new product development and delivering customised, reliable services, Med-X has established itself as a key player in the industry.
Med-X’s growth accelerated in early 2020 when it was recognised by Australia’s healthcare sector as a rising star in reliable medical waste management amid increasing COVID-19 cases. With highly infectious clinical waste exceeding other vendors’ capacity to manage, Med-X stepped in to meet the increased demand, specifically in the aged care sector. Van Karas, General Manager of Med-X and Shred-X recalled the company’s quick response and assistance in infectious waste collection during this difficult time, “our Med-X team faced daunting situations, having to adhere to strict protocols to handle such highly infectious waste. It’s not glamorous work but it’s essential, and we’re incredibly proud of our team’s dedication and putting others first in a time of crisis.”
Delivering reliable clinical waste management during the pandemic and beyond, is not the only way Med-X is making its mark in the industry.
The company is also becoming known for its approach to delivering tailored, flexible sharps disposal solutions through the manufacture of its own brand of single-use sharps containers, called SharpCYCLE™. Built for both safety and infection control in sterile environments, SharpCYCLE™ containers are made from durable, puncture-resistant polypropylene, designed to prevent needlestick injuries, accidental spills and contamination risks to healthcare workers, patients and waste handlers.
Med-X has become known as a reliable provider of end-to-end medical waste management services, delivering EPA approved and ISO accredited solutions. SharpCYCLE™ single-use containers are available in a comprehensive range of sizes, offering customers versatility and choice to meet their specifications.
Med-X understands that every business has unique waste management requirements. Whether servicing a hospital group, a veterinary clinic or tattoo parlour, the Med-X range of single-use sharps containers are designed to suit clients’ space and waste generation demands. No two businesses are the same, which is why Med-X focuses on offering customised products and waste management solutions which integrate seamlessly into client operations.
The Med-X team works closely with its partners to deliver a waste management plan built on efficiency and regulatory compliance. The growth of Med-X since 2020 comes as little surprise to those who know that Med-X and sister company, Shred-X are subsidiaries of Freightways Limited. The ANZ publicly listed company has built its success through a strong trans-Tasman distribution infrastructure, use of innovative logistics technology, and has a reputation for its customer-centric approach and service reliability.
From the supply and distribution of fit-for-purpose containers to tailored service frequencies, waste reporting technology, and compliant disposal, Med-X has built a reputation as a trusted leader in end-to-end medical waste management. The Med-X team is focused on delivering safety, efficiency, and peace of mind every step of the way.
