Infectious Waste in the Salon: Containers, Boxes and Bags
Blades, needles, swabs and gloves used during procedures are collected separately from household waste, in salons too. For them there are yellow plastic sharps containers of 1, 3, 5, 7 and 12 liters, cardboard boxes with a yellow liner of 10, 20 and 40 liters, and yellow biohazard bags of 20–300 liters, 50 per pack. Products in this category (19) start at 4.83 lei.
You can change this from “Sort”.
Which Packaging for Which Waste
| Waste | Packaging | Capacities |
|---|---|---|
| Blades, needles and other sharps | yellow rigid plastic container, single-use | 1, 3, 5, 7 and 12 L |
| Swabs, gloves and other contaminated materials | 3-ply corrugated cardboard box with a yellow polyethylene liner, for incineration | 10, 20 and 40 L |
| Anatomical waste | cardboard box with a red band and a yellow liner | 10, 20 and 40 L |
| Lidded bins | yellow biohazard bags, 50 or 60 µm, with a self-locking tie, 50 per pack | 20, 60, 90, 120 and 300 L |
The red-band boxes come with a yellow polyethylene liner and single-use seals inside. Choose the capacity by how much waste builds up between two collections: a small container is usually enough for a manicure table, while large boxes and bags suit practices with more volume.
Products are also grouped in infectious waste boxes and bags and plastic waste containers.
