High quality, single-use design for injection and infusion contains up to 30% less material than comparable syringes* to reduce waste and environmental impact. If 50% of all syringes were produced to BD Emerald eco standards, plastic waste would be cut every year by around 15,000,000kg – equivalent to 100 adult blue whales.
