Anatomical Waste Bags | For Clinical & Surgical Use

Anatomical waste bags are designed for the safe and compliant disposal of anatomical waste in healthcare environments. These heavy-duty plastic bags are specially coloured orange to signal the presence of potentially hazardous biological waste, including human tissue, organs and body parts. They provide an essential layer of protection for medical staff and waste handlers, ensuring that potentially infectious material is securely contained during storage, handling and transport to incineration.

While these bags are not environmentally friendly, their use is dictated by regulatory requirements and occupational health protocols across hospitals, surgical centres, pathology labs and veterinary practices. For anatomical waste, sustainability is secondary to safety and legal compliance. Zero Pac recognises this reality while continuing to advocate for sustainable solutions where viable across our broader product range, including dissolvable cytotoxic bags.

Despite their single-use nature, anatomical waste bags serve a critical role in the healthcare waste management chain. They help prevent contamination, reduce odour and enable efficient categorisation of waste types for safe processing. In this context, the focus is on durability, strength and reliability. Zero Pac supplies anatomical waste bags manufactured to comply with Australian healthcare and waste disposal regulations, helping your facility maintain operational compliance without compromise. For broader facility needs, we also supply bin liners suited to clinical and janitorial applications.
