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.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
