What happens to sanitary waste

Most feminine hygiene products are made from a variety of materials, including plastic. Everything from tampons to incontinence pads can also contain plastics. While these bits of plastic on their own may be recyclable, due to the other materials and health issues, sanitary waste is generally hard to recycle. This also means a lot of sanitary waste ends up going to deep landfill. Our sanitary bin services will help you maintain your health and safety at work obligation.

Sanitary Waste Incineration 

An alternative to landfill is the incineration of sanitary waste products. This removes any health risks the sanitary waste may pose to the environment when left in landfill.

Unfortunately, this incineration can release gases and also toxic fumes, which add to air pollution. There are more eco-friendly recyclable and also biodegradable women’s health products being developed to reduce the environmental impact.
