Don Cox, President and CEO of BMTL, explains, "The ultimate goal of the in-store Demolizer II sharps disposal program is to establish the Demolizer II as the preferred sharps disposal system in the pharmacy market. The faster we expand our brand presence, the sooner we can start reaping financial rewards from our patented Demolizer� technology in the pharmacy program, while at the same time reducing the negative public and environmental impact of improper disposal."
