Why do you need a Rigid container for Clinical Waste?
Clinical waste comes in many forms and is often contaminated with infectious materials, therefore if not disposed of correctly causes contamination and health risks to anyone handling the waste and the general public. Rigid waste containers are robust to help minimise the risk of contamination from rupture and damage. Our rigid waste containers can handle a wide range of waste including wet and liquid waste that cannot be disposed of in a clinical waste bag due to the risk of leakage.
