What do hazardous waste bags look like…

These hold and transport biomedical waste (in other words, non-sharps).

 

What can go in this bag?

  • Firstly, clinical/infectious waste
  • Secondly, hazardous/non hazardous waste

After treatment, infectious waste occurs. Prior to disposal, this could be rendered non infectious. Therefore, for this waste type, incineration is used.

EWC Codes

Human- 180103/Animal- 180201

Examples of waste 

  • Wipes
  • Gloves
  • Bandages
  • Dressings ‘
  • Aprons

These bags must NOT contain needles or mixed within the waste!

With this in mind, for safe handling, a sharps bin would be used.
