Medical & Sanitary Waste Solutions
Compostable liners for non-infectious medical and hygiene waste streams
Healthcare and sanitary facilities generate a large volume of daily waste that is not classified as infectious or regulated medical waste. This includes hygiene waste, disposable supplies, packaging materials, and general indoor waste from clinics, care facilities, and staff areas.
ORIZON provides compostable bin liner solutions designed for these non-infectious waste streams, helping facilities reduce plastic use while maintaining reliable daily waste handling.
Not intended for infectious, clinical, biohazard, or regulated medical waste.
Where These Solutions Are Used
Our medical & sanitary waste solutions are suitable for facilities that manage general hygiene and indoor waste, including:
- Clinics and medical offices (non-clinical areas)
- Aged care and nursing facilities
- Hygiene and sanitary product disposal areas
- Washrooms, staff rooms, and shared indoor spaces
These environments typically require small to medium capacity bin liners with consistent performance, clean handling, and compatibility with standard indoor bins.
Why Compostable Liners for Medical & Sanitary Facilities
Healthcare organizations are increasingly under pressure to reduce plastic waste without compromising operational reliability.
Compostable liners support this transition by offering:
- Reduced plastic contamination in general waste streams
- Alignment with sustainability and ESG initiatives
- Suitable performance for light-to-medium indoor waste
- Compatibility with common bin types such as pedal bins and swing lid bins
When correctly sized, compostable liners provide stable fit, leak resistance, and predictable daily use in sanitary environments.
Recommended Product Types
Rather than introducing specialized “medical waste bags,” medical and sanitary facilities typically rely on standard compostable bin liners selected based on capacity, waste type, and indoor use conditions.
For non-infectious hygiene and general sanitary waste streams, recommended options include:
Flat-Top or Drawstring Liners
All liners should be matched to bin size and liner depth to maintain stable fit, reduce slippage, and support consistent performance during daily use.
These product types are intended for non-infectious, general sanitary and hygiene waste only.
They are not designed for infectious, biohazard, clinical, or regulated medical waste applications.
Certifications & Compliance Considerations
Certification requirements vary depending on region, waste system, and disposal pathway. For general sanitary waste applications, compostable liners are commonly certified to recognized industrial composting standards, such as:
- EN 13432 – EU industrial composting standard
- ASTM D6400 – US industrial composting standard
- OK Compost (Industrial) – where applicable
Facilities should always confirm local waste acceptance rules and composting infrastructure before specifying compostable liners.
